Nike Air Zoom GT Jump Review
Pros:
The tech works well together for performance
Jump frame is as good as advertised
Cons:
A bit on the heavier side
Performance of the Nike Air Zoom GT Jump:
The final release in Nike's GT series, the GT Jump, manages to find a way to make all of the tech Nike threw in it work well together.
The traction gripped all the different surfaces that reviewers tested it on while still keeping up with the cushioning.
When it comes to cushioning, if you're a fan of Nike Zoom, you're going to love these. It's bouncy, provides ample impact protection, and is very fast to play in.
Nike uses Jumpwire combined with synthetics and meshes to keep the shoe breathable without compromising performance.
Most reviewers also agree that the Jumpframe is a standout aspect of the shoe. It helps secure the foot so that the player doesn't feel unstable on top of the cushioning.
Although the wait was long, the Nike Air Zoom GT Jump delivers, and it's one of the best shoes to come out this year.

They could be one of my favorite basketball shoes, great traction, nice fit, very good cushion and angle support and they helped me jump higher. On the other hand the material used are cheap. The fabric above the toes, started to wear almost from the beginning and eventually two small holes appeared on the same spot on each shoe. The material used on the sides is like soft rubber and very easy to wear out. One of the airsole burst about 10-11 months after I bought them. I only used them indoors.

Ótimo tênis para jogadores pesados, dunkers também, afinal o amortecimento que esse tênis oferece é simplesmente incrível, suporte excelente devido ao cano alto, pisada larga no antepé e placa no calcanhar, sistema de amarração bom que vai deixar seu pé muito firme, porém é um tênis um pouco pesado
não recomendo para outdoor, material do solado é macio, pode danificar as unidades zoom expostas

"-How much Zoom do you want? -Yes." These shoes are as good as advertised. Even though I prefer low-tops, these ones are just incredible. One of the fastest shoes I have ever played in. Amazing integration of all the best Nike technologies which work together surprisingly well.

Pros: Fits for my feet perfectly, amazing cushioning set up and support, great ventilation
Cons: A bit heavy, limiting lateral movement, visible Zoom bags and penetrated outsole = clean indoor courts only.
Good for 4-5s who love cushions and protection
