The Nike G.T. Cut 3 basketball sneakers are designed to help create space for stepback jumpers and backdoor cuts. The multicourt traction helps with stopping and shifting gears, while the ZoomX foam helps maintain freshness during the game. The pattern on the G.T. Cut 3 is ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes in movement. Full-length ZoomX foam adds bounce into every step. Flywire cables integrate with the lace-up closure to help secure the forefoot. The stretchy, breathable material on top is lightweight and helps keep you cool. A padded collar at the Achilles helps the ankle feel comfortable and secure. The shoes feature a foam midsole. A smaller plastic plate on the pinky-toe side of the forefoot helps keep the foot stable when making sudden movements.
