Description
this GT 3 Light Bone/Vapor Green colorwayl the upper adapts the off-grey shade, with external Flywire cables standing out in white. The sneaker features a lightweight textile upper, offering durability and breathability, crucial for high-performance play. Reinforced with Flywire, the upper ensures a snug, adaptive fit, essential for quick movements and agility on the court. The soft Vapor Green floods out the outsole for the perfect amount of color pop.
On the lateral side, a TPU wrap in vapor green adds visual contrast and enhances foot containment and stability during dynamic movements. The sneaker’s interior boasts full-length ZoomX foam – renowned for its energy return and responsiveness. This cutting-edge cushioning is encased in a sail-hued foam midsole, ensuring comfort and performance. The design is completed with a green rubber outsole incorporating a herringbone pattern, providing excellent traction and grip on the court.
Nike GT Cut 3 Materials
Materials on the Nike GT Cut 3 are nothing special. The shoe is built with a combination of textiles, heat-welded materials, and synthetics. Par for the course when it comes to modern basketball shoes.
The toe and the tongue area are constructed with a synthetic Nubuck, which does add a dash of faux premium feel, but that’s about it. Another odd choice is the rubber of the shank plate.
The GT Cut 3 features a bottom-loaded shank plate, but the rubber Nike chose to use is very soft, and should offer little in terms of torsional rigidity. It doesn’t seem like it will be an issue in terms of performance, but if you are looking for elite torsional support, this may not be the shoe for you.
You also have a lightweight microsuede toe plus tonal top for reduced weight as well as a perforated heel counter for additional support. Last but not least the minimal use of outsole rubber as well as TPu plating, ZoomX cushion encased in a Cushlon carrier comprise of the whole shoe.
Nike GT Cut 3 Support
All the individual support features on the Nike GT Cut 3 are rather basic, but they all work together to offer a secure and speedy experience on court. We have a wide and stable base, the Zoom X is properly caged to keep it stable and reactive, the shank plate is on the softer side but it does expand into the forefoot of the shoe, we have multiple lace cables in the forefoot of the shoe for enhanced lockdown, and the fit and build also aid in this aspect.
None of these details is anything elite or groundbreaking, but this setup will work well for the vast majority of hoopers out there. They will feel especially great if you are looking for an agile, bouncy, and fun shoe to zip around the court with.
