In 2025, Wale finally got his flowers from Nike with a friends & family Goadome boot, a GT Future collab, and a prominent spot in the rollout for the Foamposite-inspired shoe.
The connection between Wale and the GT Future isn’t done yet, and in a new music video for the song “Watching Us” off his latest album, “everything is a lot,” the DMV rapper debuted the long-awaited Nike GT Future Hyper Pink. We first got word of the colorway last summer, and Wale’s on-foot preview confirms our mocked-up expectations.
The one-piece wavy shield upper is covered in hyper pink, with black hits on the Swoosh branding, outsole, tongue, and laces to complete the two-tone mix. In addition to his own icy blue collab, Wale helped debut the shoe in gradient green PE and metallic gold sample colorways last year.
The Nike GT Future Hyper Pink will be released Summer 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $200. For all the latest GT Future news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
