Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Safari” Official Images Reveal Bold Print Ahead of Holiday Release

nike-hyperflight

The Nike Zoom Hyperflight is getting a bold new look, with the “Safari” colorway coming soon. We have official photos of the unique design for a closer look. The sneaker sports bright orange accents and a translucent outsold, and is expected to arrive during the holiday season at a retail price of $190.

The new version is inspired by the Safari print that is familiar from the Air Safari. That pattern covers most of the Hyperflight’s soft, molded upper, giving the basketball shoe a unique look compared with some of the model’s other recent colorways. Together, the unusual texture and pattern make the silhouette feel especially suited to the adventurous design.

The primary contrast across the shoe is orange, used in the trim and other details. The bright color pops against the speckled base without being overwhelming. Black is also present in the design, on the glossy support structure around the midfoot and the soft leather collar. The look is topped off with a see-through outsole that adds another visual element to the overall color scheme.

The sneaker will drop with style code IZ2573-010 and is expected in men’s sizing. With a retail price tag of $190, Nike, Foot Locker, and Sheikh are among the expected retailers. As for when you can expect it, it’s likely to be the holiday season, though we don’t have a solid release date.

The “Safari” colorway comes amid a busy period for the Zoom Hyperflight. This year, Nike has revived the model in several colors, bringing a new wave of attention to the silhouette through a series of releases. Another forthcoming option is the vibrant “Green Apple” pair, also scheduled for a holiday season release.

The Hyperflight’s history also provides context for the latest return. Jason Williams wore the model in the early 2000s, linking it to a memorable era for the sneaker. That association also helps explain why new colorways can generate excitement beyond the shoe’s look, especially for those who remember it from its previous run.

The Safari design is a definitive statement that does not change the characteristic shape of the Hyperflight. Instead, it uses the familiar silhouette as a canvas for a pattern that has already become recognizable through another Nike model. The orange accents provide a bright contrast, while the black midfoot structure and collar balance it out.

Now that official images have surfaced, sneaker fans have a clearer idea of what to expect from the holiday release. The $190 price, style code, and expected retail partners have also been identified, but a specific launch date has not been confirmed.

For Nike, the “Safari” is another way to bring attention back to the Zoom Hyperflight. One of its more distinctive new looks is this returning model, featuring speckled print, orange trim, black support details, and an icy-looking translucent outsole.

Wifisfuneral Defends Relationship With XXXTentacion’s Ex After Ski Mask The Slump God Calls Him Out

XXXTENTACTION

Wifisfuneral is facing backlash after revealing that he went on a date with Genesis Sanchez, the mother of XXXTentacion’s child. The post was slammed by people who still have strong emotional ties to the rapper, including Ski Mask The Slump God, who questioned Wifisfuneral’s motives and raised a separate claim against XXXTentacion.

The drama kicked off after Wifisfuneral posted about hanging out with Sanchez. The meeting quickly became a talking point among fans and people around the late artist due to her connection to XXXTentacion. While some thought the situation was distasteful, the news hit Ski Mask especially hard.

Ski Mask responded to Wifisfuneral, who had previously attempted to use voodoo on XXXTentacion. He also made a separate allegation concerning XXXTentacion’s mother, adding another provocative claim to an already heated exchange. His comments made it clear he was unhappy about Wifisfuneral going on a date with Sanchez.

Wifisfuneral didn’t take the criticism lightly. In his response, he flatly denied ever using voodoo against XXXTentacion, stating he had no reason to do so and wouldn’t pretend to have that kind of power. He also rejected suggestions that his meeting with Sanchez was an attempt to capitalize on the late rapper’s memory or seek attention.

The rapper gave his own account of their relationship, saying he and Sanchez had known each other since they were 13 and dated until 2016. Wifisfuneral said they hadn’t spoken or been in contact for the last decade until they bumped into each other by chance. “We just picked up where we left off,” he said, adding that there was no intention of turning the meeting into a public show.

Wifisfuneral also acknowledged he understood why the situation might not sit well with some people. But he insisted that the public interpretation did not reflect what actually transpired between him and Sanchez. “There is nothing for either of us to gain by turning the meeting into a controversy or using it for publicity,” he said.

The dispute underscores how relationships with a late artist can be particularly fraught for fans and former collaborators. For many listeners, XXXTentacion’s death is still an emotional part of his story, and the people closest to him continue to draw attention when their lives become part of the public discussion.

At this point, Ski Mask and Wifisfuneral’s claims are still competing statements. Ski Mask has questioned the rapper’s motives and alleged past wrongdoing, while Wifisfuneral has denied any wrongdoing and shared a different account of his past with Sanchez.

The exchange has heightened tensions, and there is no indication the two artists have settled their differences. For now, Wifisfuneral is standing by his explanation as backlash around the date continues.
