Jason Williams’ Old Court Shoe Returns in a Speckled Safari Print
Nike is bringing back the Zoom Hyperflight in a new Safari colorway (style code IZ2573-010), set for Holiday 2026. The pair mixes black, Summit White and Ice with Total Orange accents, and the upper wears a speckled print borrowed from the 1987 Air Safari. Retail is reported at $170 by Hypebeast, while Sneaker Files lists $190, so check Nike closer to launch for the final number.
What makes the Safari pair stand out
The Hyperflight is a turn-of-the-century court model, closely tied to Jason Williams, and it has come back several times in recent years, including a SLAM Magazine collaboration. Most of those returns were fairly quiet. This one is louder. The speckled print covers much of the molded upper and gives it a texture that reads a bit like ostrich skin.
Orange shows up in small doses, around the ankle collar and on the miniature Swoosh, which keeps the busy print from taking over. Underneath, a translucent Ice outsole finishes the retro look.
Who it suits
This is a lifestyle-leaning retro for people who like early-2000s basketball design and want something that stands apart from the usual leather colorways. It also looks like a general release rather than a limited drop, according to Sneaker Files, so chasing it should be easier than a raffle pair. If you want a current hoops option to wear in the meantime, a modern low-cut like the one below is a sensible pick.
How it compares to other recent Nike retros
Nike has been leaning hard on archive shapes this season. If you want a different take on the same idea, read our look at the Nike Air Max 90 Medium Olive, which strips away the branding instead of adding print. More releases are collected in our footwear news section.
Where to buy
