Nike Basketball is entering a new era this year with an exciting wave up brand new silhouettes. This week, their fourth edition of the GT Cut line has surfaced, worn by Paige Bueckers during a WNBA All-Star practice in “Persian Violet”.
Nike has been on a journey to reinvigorate their performance basketball line over the last few years. The ball division is one of Nike’s most iconic product lines, thanks to their legendary Air Jordan line that began back in 1985. The heyday of Nike BBall was arguably the late ’90s, but they’ve had their moments in the decades since, with another one seemingly on the horizon. This month, the basketball team took over their SNKRS Showcase livestream series, showing off upcoming product and special retros, but they kept a few things behind the curtain for later unveilings.
One of those special pairs they saved for a rainy day was the next evolution of their GT Cut, the model’s fourth iteration. The product line has been one of their main basketball silhouettes over the last few years, and their GT Cut 4 brings some interesting new design language to the model. The new look appears to take come cues from the GT Future, another new model coming later this year. The Cut 4 has a molded upper with a ripple effect around the lower edges, which blends seamlessly into the midsole unit, similar to the Future. Very few part lines and stitching are seen on the model with the exception of one seam running down the toes.
