Basketball enthusiasts and consumers have all given a positive response to the recently debuted Air Zoom GT Cut's successor. For the Air Zoom GT Cut 2, the swoosh label has applied multiple technological abilities and pushed the boundaries of the design for increased performance. The official swoosh label's site introduces the shoe as:
"Make precise multi-directional cuts with the Air Zoom G.T. Cut 2. An advanced traction system, full-length air zoom strobel, and Cushion midsole help give you the confidence, quickness and control you need to make any cut on the court."
The site further shares the details of the sneakers and how they help in modern basketball,
"The Air Zoom G.T. Cut 2 helps you stop on a dime and accelerate back into the open lane in a low-to-the-ground design that helps minimize court contact while switching direction."
The sequel to 2021's Air Zoom GT Cut is much better and bigger compared to the first and is quickly becoming a fan favorite. The silhouette will now be released in the ultimate colorway to add to the fans' hardcourt rotations.
The silhouette comes clad in a 'Summit White/Metallic Gold/University Red/Team Red/Coconut Milk/Night Maroon' colorway. The color scheme is reminiscent of Tony Stark's character from the Marvel Universe film, Iron Man.
The uppers of the sneakers are constructed out of crisp summit white mesh material, which is accented with bold university red accents that are wrapped around the heel.
The most prominent hue is metallic gold, which adds gravitas to the sneakers. The metallic gold hue is accentuated over the details, such as the swoosh logos, which are added over both the lateral and medial side panels. More of the iridescent gold hue is added over the luxe medallion-like badge sitting atop the tongue.
The golden medallion badge features Nike's slogan and the roman numerals of 2023. The look is finished off with the Air Zoom Strobel midsoles, which are clad in a night maroon unit, and grippy Smear Traction 1.0 outsoles.
The sneakers are set to drop via Nike, SNKRS, and select retailers in Spring 2023 for $170.
