There hasn’t been a performance basketball sneaker from Nike that has been highly anticipated in the same way the public is looking at the GT Future. The Hyperflight and Foamposite-inspired silhouette, which was debuted at NBA All-Star 2025 by basketball prodigy AJ Dybantsa and rapper Wale, has been making waves in online spaces and has people excited about a new basketball shoe from The Swoosh in what seems like decades. Today, Nike officially unveiled the model as part of its Nike SNKRS Showcase, debuting a new Lightning colorway.
Alongside this Lightning pair, we got looks at the Fire and Metallic Silver colorways, though this rendition is the brightest of the bunch. The Foamposite-like synthetic upper is coated in a gradient lightning yellow hue, starting in a darker hue near the sole and working into a lighter shade near the top. Molded striations on the upper add depth to the sneaker, while black Swoosh logos hit the lateral collar and medial forefoot.
