Nike GT Hustle 3 Review
Pros:
Abundance of impact protection
Fantastic traction
Cons:
Stack height is high off the ground
Upper materials aren't the most durable
Performance of the Nike GT Hustle 3:
The Nike GT Hustle 3 continues to evolve in unexpected ways. This year's version focuses heavily on the cushion.
The traction performance is well-reviewed. It performs exceptionally well, especially on clean courts.
For cushioning, Nike uses a React foam midsole, a ZoomX foam insole, and double-stacked Zoom Air under the forefoot. It's incredibly plush, and the forefoot also feels bouncy.
Nike's choice of materials keeps the shoe lightweight and very breathable. The only potential downside is the upper's durability.
Support and lockdown get the job done, but the high stack of cushioning can affect containment and stability. Some reviewers felt a bit uneasy being so high off the ground.
Nike's GT Hustle 3's impressive traction and plentiful cushioning make it a strong performance shoe.

You'll be good to go on clean floors, and the rubber sticks like glue. On dirty floors, make sure to wipe the dust off.
