Nike’s push to bring basketball shoes off the court again has been present throughout its new performance silhouettes, like the GT Future, and its retro drops, like the Foamposite Pro and Hyperflight. You can’t talk about the intersection of basketball shoes and fashion from the early 2000s without bringing up SLAM Magazine, so you know Nike had to tap in with the mag for a new collab collection.
The SLAM x Nike Hyperflight is the first pair we’ve seen from the upcoming partnership that will also feature a GT Cut 4, Sabrina 3, and Ja 4. After seeing Steph Curry pull up to Sacramento in a Jason Williams tribute pair of Hyperflights last week, sneaker insider and SLAM collabs honcho Nick DePaula upped the ante, pulling up at Golden One Center in the upcoming collab pair.
