Nike Celebrates DMV Basketball With Cherry Blossom-Inspired Hyperflight

Nike Basketball is back with another ode to the DMV area—Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia—only this time, it's commemorating the cultural hub with a Zoom Hyperflight instead of a Foamposite One.

Wale hasn't been made part of the new launch (yet), but the pair features cherry blossom motifs akin to the Foams the D.C.-native modeled in 2024 for his first proper collaborative project with Nike in contemporary times. The Hyperflight sees a rich "Hyper Pink" color scheme across the bulk of its build. A similar G.T. Future was previewed earlier in the year by the aforementioned rapper, but the Hyperflight differentiates itself with an all-over embossed series of flower emblems recreating the cherry blossoms found in D.C.

Furthermore, the spine features a special graphic that brings the upper's detail to plastic-form. The footbeds cement the connection to the DMV by calling out all three locations: "DC," "MD," and "VA."

Stay tuned for firm Nike.com release details. The cherry blossom-inspired pink-colored Hyperflight should launch before May ends.
