Nike G.T. Cut Academy

The G.T. Cut Academy is the takedown model of the Nike G.T. Cut 3, but its affordable price tag comes full of advantages! This Nike pair features a tough upper and extra eyelets at the top that offer a customized fit. We enjoyed the containment and lockdown feel of this shoe in every step, as our cuts were propelled by its Zoom Air unit on the forefoot. Even though we could fly up and down the court thanks to its lightweight structure, this shoe's materials are not the most durable out there. If you're looking for a pair of hoopers that stay by your side for a longer time, investing in a more expensive model might be worth it!
