Year after year, Nike’s Ekiden Collection commemorates the days-long running tradition across Japan. Recently, the series unveiled its ZoomX AlphaFly NEXT% 2 for the next capsule.

ATOMKNIT uppers boast varying shades of a lime green hue, which fades across the robust ZoomX cushioning solution underfoot. Detailing across the top-half also indulges in back and red contrast, with the latter tone animating the sock-like collar. Direct nods to the 507 kilometer (or 315 mile) 23-stage relay race appear on the midsole’s medial side. Lastly, exposed Zoom Air units appear underneath the forefoot, promising a responsive, energy-returning ride for all those participating in the Ekiden Season’s events.

Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, and anticipate a stateside nike.com in the first-half of 2023, following a launch in Asia.

“FLIP is MY homie,” Gunn said. “Y’all don’t know him or his situation so all of that why don’t u help him shit don’t u think I try and help that man every single chance I get I’m one of the only ones that help him.”

Gunn added that “he’s only gonna do it IF HE WANTS TO DO IT,” and that “u can’t force them know matter how much u get them cleaned.”

“I love FLIP and nobody in this world wants him to shine more than me,” Gunn further said. “ANY time I’m in Buffalo I pull right up on flip in the hood and hang with him for a min.”

Before concluding, Gunn also shared a clip from an upcoming video for “Super Kick Party,” which features Flip. The track is included on the aforementioned album, 10, which dropped in October.
