The Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Varsity Purple” will be released in Spring 2026. However, this pair is labeled “JW,” and will be a nod to Jason Williams, who wore the pair while playing for the Sacramento Kings in 2001. The retail price is $170.

The Hyperflight is making a return to retailers in 2026. We can expect several original colorways of the early 2000s basketball classic to return. While many in the NBA wore the model, the pair is commonly linked to Jason Williams. During his time with the Sacramento Kings, he wore the “Varsity Purple” pair. However, JWill’s pair was a PE and was different from the retail version. In 2026, his player exclusive will arrive at retailers.
Recently, we talked about the “Varsity Purple” Zoom Hyperflight returning. However, the style code with this iteration is different and is labeled “JW.” There is a possibility that both will be released, or Jason Williams’ PE will replace the retail pair.
Jason Williams, also known as “White Chocolate,” played for the Sacramento Kings while wearing this pair. He is known for his exceptional dribbling and passing skills, which have fooled many players. The Hyperflight reflected his playing style with its sleek design and aggressive lines.
Although the pair is labeled “JW,” we can’t confirm if the pair will feature specific details connecting to Williams. For example, his pair featured his number 55 on the tongue and “JWill” on the heels. We could wind up just getting the retail version in “Varsity Purple,” and the brand has labeled them as a PE.
