Top 2025 prospect AJ Dybantsa, whose NIL value is estimated at $3,800,000 according to On3, has a partnership with Nike. The promising athlete showed off some new kicks during the McDonald's All-American Game last week.
On Monday, he was at it again, this time showing off a custom yellow Nike GT Future during one of his practice sessions.
During the McDonald's All-American Game's slam dunk contest, the five-star small forward wore a custom pair of Nike KD 18s. These came in McDonald's colors of red, yellow and black, and the pair featured not just KD's logo, but also AJ Dybantsa's.
As for his new pair of kicks, it also had some red (the Nike logo) in it, with some black trim; the shoes were mostly yellow. The pair did show AJ's logo on the soles. The video also gave a lot of close-ups of Dybantsa's new shoes.
As for whether this colorway version of AJ Dybantsa's shoes would hit the market is still uncertain. However, the black version of the Nike GT Future is set for release during the 2025 holiday season. Each pair will go for approximately $190, but may cost more once the tariffs take effect.
The GT Future is part of Nike's Air Zoom 'Greater Than' series, which also features the GT Jump, GT Cut and the GT Hustle. Its design borrows elements from older Nike models, such as the Air Foamposite One and Zoom Hyperflight, with the design being described as "futuristic."
