Nike is turning the clock back to the early 2000s with one of its most futuristic basketball silhouettes.
The Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Green Apple” is set to return for Holiday 2026, and its bright green-and-Volt color scheme is already giving off some serious Grinch vibes. 👀🍏
The latest Hyperflight features a glossy Green Apple upper paired with black accents throughout the tongue, laces, collar and signature side support structure. A bright Volt translucent outsole finishes the look, giving the sneaker an even louder pop from the bottom up. (Sole Retriever)
Originally introduced in 2001, the Zoom Hyperflight was designed by Eric Avar as part of Nike Basketball’s futuristic early-2000s era. Its lightweight, streamlined construction and distinctive external support frame helped make it one of the era’s more recognizable basketball designs. (Sneaker News)
The “Green Apple” isn’t an original 2001 colorway. Instead, it’s part of Nike’s current revival of the Hyperflight, which has already produced several bold retro and new colorways throughout 2026. (Sneaker Files)
