Air Zoom GT Cut AcademyThese shoes have the ability to catch some attention, the pair that I have has a nice splash of green which goes well with the colorway of the professional basketball team in my city.When first putting on the shoe, one of the most noticeable things is how snug the shoe is, it's almost too snug. After loosening the laces and switching to a thinner pair of socks they fit a bit but had the "I need to break these in feel." After a few wears, it broke in a bit more but this might be a shoe that one might benefit sizing up half a size. Due to the tightness of the shoe, it took a bit away from the comfort but I can tell that a half size up would be above average when it comes to comfort. One thing that definitly stood out was how "grippy" these ... MoreAir Zoom GT Cut AcademyThese shoes have the ability to catch some attention, the pair that I have has a nice splash of green which goes well with the colorway of the professional basketball team in my city.When first putting on the shoe, one of the most noticeable things is how snug the shoe is, it's almost too snug.

One thing that definitly stood out was how "grippy" these shoes were when it came to playing basketball. I was honestly surprised how good the shoes felt when it came to running around the indoor court. I did not get to try them outside but would highly recommend indoors.The shoe is the great at not being too "loud" when it comes to the green that popped on the shoe but still enough to stand out. The lack of standing out can be perfect and the little pop of color helped it from being boring on your feet. I know it might come across as odd to some folks but it's important to strike a balance in my opinion. The shoe also has a nice little zig zag sew pattern that helps for it to be a bit more interesting as well. The top of the shoe has a breathable part of the shoe which helped while running around for a few hours.The grip and durability are some of my favorite parts of the shoe. I can definitely see these shoes lasting for a long time. When it comes to improvements, it would be the sizing of the shoes because they were a bit too snug and that snugness took away from the shoe being a lot more comfortable.

The Nike Zoom GT Cut Academy are one of the most comfortable hooping shoes on the market. I love the low cut design which still provides excellent ankle support when shifting in and out of traffic and the added comfort around the sockliner is much appreciated. The textile mesh and zoom comfort really improve the overall comfort and feel of the shoe when hooping. The shoe itself has a nice snug fit and the traction support is amazing. The shoe grips the court well. Initially out of the box the shoes will take some time to break in but is worth the wait. The overall aesthetic of the shoe is really nice. I like neon colors and the zigzag design on the sides of the shoe which keeps it simple but still attractive. Overall I really enjoy the Nike Air Zoom GT Cut Academy. ... MoreThe Nike Zoom GT Cut Academy are one of the most comfortable hooping shoes on the market.

The Air Zoom GT Cut Academy shoes I received were a pair that was definitely exciting to open. The green and black color way was one I have never owned before and the design of the shoes were definitely cool as well. These shoes definitely felt nice as basketball shoes and would be great in a gym. I actually was not able to use them playing basketball. These are still a great pair of shoes for casual wear or any weight lifting/training. The only downside I would suggest would be that they definitely ran small on me but I would believe that they are a basketball style shoe and are expected to be more snug. Other than that these were a great pair to receive and be able to review!

Great outdoor shoes! I’m typically not a fan of low cut basketball shoes so I was hesitant in getting these shoes but I now have a different opinion! A little bulky and stiff at first but after shooting around and running in them a bit they felt amazing. They have pretty good bounce and response to the cement. The grip is also pretty good for doing sharp cuts and drives to the basket. Overall it has great foot protection and is lighter than your typical mid top or high top basketball shoe which is a plus especially for someone who can’t jump that high. Great design and colorways too. Would definitely recommend to a friend!
The Nike Air Zoom GT Cut Academy feels and looks amazing. As for fit and sizing it is true to size compared to your normal Nike shoes like Nike Airforce 1 or Nike Sabrina 1 and the foam material makes it extremely comfortable. The design on the shoe with cool green swoosh on the back pops out with speckled dust on the foam. As for the outsole material on front foot is using air zoom and the heel and rest using some kind of soft foam both are extremely responsive and makes the shoe extremely light. I love shoes aesthetics reminds me very much of Nike Sabrina 1 and overall, the mesh material used makes it easier for breathability for your feet and less sweaty. I love overall the comfort of the foams used and for extended use makes all the difference. I would not ... MoreThe Nike Air Zoom GT Cut Academy feels and looks amazing.

This is my first time wearing GT Cut Academy basketball shoes and I love them. The traction is great for on court and the comfort is superb. I can feel the cushion in my heel and forefoot area from the Zoom Air units. The materials are also top notch. I love how the designs, including both Nike checks are stitched on rather than a glued on print. I always prefer stitched since it usually lasts longer than glued on designs. The black and neon green colorway is fantastic also. Low key while also a hit of bright green.The only complaint I will note is that they are a bit tight on the top of my foot. This may change overtime, but they do fit a bit snug on the top. Length and width wise, they are true to size though.Definitely recommend this pair if you want to hoop ... MoreThis is my first time wearing GT Cut Academy basketball shoes and I love them.

These shoes are so good! The traction, cushion, and design are all good. Before I decided to buy these I made sure to research good shoes for volleyball and basketball. Of course I read the reviews and most people said to size down about half a size, so that exactly what I did. The only problem was when they came in they where still a little too tight(especially since I have wider feet, usually I wear 9 or 9.5 in women’s) I then bought another pair but in a size 10, and they fit perfectly! I and very happy overall with these shoes! (Btw I took the shoe laces off to dye them red, so it would have more color and not be so white)
Gave these to my husband since he plays ball with friends on a weekly basis. He loves the black color way with the little pops of neon green. The shoe has a soft mesh on the upper which makes it easier to move in, and the shoes have decent cushioning which helps with impact. Husband likes how light the shoes are and he says he feels lower to the ground which helps with mobility on the court. It took a while to break in, but after running errands and a few shopping runs, he’s played ball in them about 3 times and he’s comfortable in them now. He usually prefers high tops when playing basketball, but he’s loving these lows so far! Great shoes overall!
Good shoe! Performs great and has AMAZING traction, and by far better than any budget shoe.You would need to break it in though for a little while, but once that was settled, It's smooth sailing from there on the court. It also has a snug fit on your foot and is excellent for wide footers like me.Now the traction is very solid and squeeky, but the grooves are too close to each other that in dusty courts, it would collect dust, so you'd probably need to wipe it now and then. But it is a great performer on clean courts specifically on hardwood.Cushioning wise, it's comfy and soft, good for shifty guards and playmakers on court.Also the padding on the upper foot is alright, but not bad though. It snugs the foot in your shoe well and doesn't stress it out.Now ... MoreGood shoe!

I was excited to get this shoe because I hadn't bought new athletic shoes since retiring as a physical education teacher a few years ago. When I took them out of the box they were not the color that I was expecting (red/white/blue) as depicted in the photo. When I went back to the Nike website I realized that the description did not match the photo. Ok... fine... they still looked good and would work with my wardrobe.When I tried to put them on they were at least a size and a half too small. I checked the tag inside the shoe and it had the correct size. I double-checked the box... again, correct size indicated. But when I put them sole to sole against my last pair of Nike athletic shoes there was at least a half inch difference.
