Nike Air Zoom G.T. Cut 3 Review
Pros:
The ZoomX foam feels bouncy
Lightweight
Cons:
Poor material quality
Dust affects traction
Performance of the Nike Air Zoom G.T. Cut 3:
Nike releases the third entry in the G.T. Cut lineup using full-length ZoomX foam for the first time in a basketball shoe.
Reviewers agree the traction performs very well on clean courts, but dust causes some slipping.
ZoomX makes its debut in a basketball shoe. The cushioning feels shifty and springy, but it doesn't have as much impact protection as Zoom.
The materials are a disappointment, especially considering the shoe's price. They don't hamper performance much, but they feel cheap.
The fit is solid as long as you tighten down the laces.
Support and lockdown are decent, but be aware the containment has some give to it.
The Nike G.T. Cut 3 is a solid enough performer because of the traction and cushioning.

The only thing negative I have to say about the G.T. Cut 3’s are their durability, I feel like they were made more for pro players who would buy a new pair every game. After only 2 months of wearing this shoe the back tab has already ripped off and many of the sewed parts have ripped or been completely torn off. But the traction on this shoe is one of the best I have tried, the bite is very sharp and it squeaks even if it is covered in dust.

once you break it in its god send. traction is top tier and dust pickup is pretty minimal. cushion is caged zoom x which is amazing, super comfortable and bouncy. impact prot is great. the shoe is super light and the lockdown is pretty good but not amazing. materials are soft and comfy on foot which applies to the fit as well. top tier performer and my fav in the rotation rn

Pretty good shoe, but there are definitely better options for 200$. Traction is outstanding on clean courts; it picks up a bit of dust but a simple wipe will remove most of it. It feels quick and light, and very comfortable, but if you want a low to the ground and responsive shoe, this is not for you. Materials feel cheap, tho.
