Men's Nike G.T. Cut Academy Basketball Shoes

Whether you're playing in the gym, at the park or on your driveway, lace up in the all-new G.T. Cut Academy. Designed to help you create space for stepback jumpers, backdoor cuts and other game-changing plays, its sticky multicourt traction helps you stop on a dime and shift gears at will—wherever your next game is calling you.

Traction: High
The more traction you have underfoot, the more separation you can create from your opponent. It can help you stop on a dime and shift gears at will. Giving you stop-and-go traction from heel to toe, the herringbone pattern on the G.T. Cut Academy is ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes in movement.
Responsiveness: Moderate
The more responsive the shoe, the more energy return you can get back with each cut, pivot and move to the hoop. Responsive shoes help give you more spring in your step so you can feel fast for four quarters. A bottom-loaded forefoot Zoom Air unit helps you play fast on the floor when the game goes uptempo.
Cushioning: Moderate
The more cushioning that you have underfoot, the more comfortable your game can be. We stacked the midsole with two foams, giving you an unreal level of comfort and support. It's perfect for long hoop sessions on unforgiving surfaces.
