The abbreviation GT is no longer unfamiliar to everyone. It is often used in the naming of high-performance sports cars, making it synonymous with speed and explosiveness in many people’s minds. Last year, Nike launched the Greater Than series, which helps basketball players create maximum space for display by systematically improving three basic movements on the court.
Some time ago, Devin Booker renewed his contract with Nike, extending it to 2029. Booker, who was selected to the All-NBA First Team, and the high-end flagship GT.Cut 2 can be regarded as a “strong combination”. Booker, who signed a new contract, also naturally became the spokesperson for GT.Cut 2.
The G.T. Cut series has a lot of similarities with the Kobe series in terms of concept. As a disciple of Kobe, Booker only wore the G.T. Cut last season in addition to the ZK series.
First of all, we can very intuitively see the huge changes in the upper. The previous upper, which was similar to space cotton, had average breathability and was not easy to clean. This time we used a mesh skeleton upper, which not only improved the breathability of the upper, but also made a great contribution to the lightweight of this pair of shoes.
The reinforcement design at the heel of the shoe is somewhat similar to that of the Air Jordan II. A large area of TPU wraps the entire heel to ensure the overall stability of the shoe. It can lock your heel firmly in the shoe when pushing off the ground sideways. The streamlined line design also maintains a speed-oriented design language.
The technological configuration of the midsole is what everyone is most concerned about. First of all, the React insole has become thicker, and the bowl-shaped side wall design makes it fit the sole of the foot better. A layer of fabric is added above the insole to improve the feel of the shoe. The biggest benefit is that you no longer have to worry about the insole sticking to your socks. A hexagonal Zoom air cushion is added under the insole this time, and the extra Zoom air cushion is not placed close to the outsole like the previous work. The advantage of this is that the feedback effect of the rear foot will be more obvious.
The exaggerated herringbone pattern in the forefoot of the outsole ensures grip and flexibility, improving the player’s first step response. The Air Zoom logo is made of TPU material to further ensure the overall torsion resistance of the shoe.
