The G.T. Cut Academy basketball shoes are designed to help you create space for stepback jumpers and backdoor cuts. The shoes feature high, sticky multicourt traction with a herringbone pattern that provides stop-and-go traction from heel to toe and is ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes in movement. They also feature a bottom-loaded forefoot Zoom Air unit that helps you play fast on the floor. The midsole is stacked with two foams for comfort and support. These Nike sneakers have lace-up closure.
