Nike has done it again. Back in January this year, the sportswear giant launched the GT Cut 3 basketball shoe, and thanks to its beautiful clean design and on-court performance, it quickly became a fan favorite. Now, days before the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Nike is adding to the excitement with the exclusive release of the “Olympic Safari” edition of the GT Cut 3.
The rapid rise in popularity of the “Greater Than” series, particularly the GT Cut 3 shoe, can be attributed to its incorporation of Nike’s ZoomX cushioning system in the midsole providing exceptional comfort that rivals the beloved Air Max series. The newly added ultra-responsive ZoomX foam ensures peak performance, agility, traction, and endurance.
This combination of comfort and functionality has made the GT Cut 3 a standout choice for athletes this year.
The new GT Cut 3 “Olympic Safari” release introduces a bold and vibrant colorway to the GT Cut 3 lineup, which has previously featured clean and subtle palettes.
With its striking safari print on the upper, tongues, and midsoles, this shoe stands out as its most colorful yet. The vibrant orange and volt accents provide a dynamic contrast, making these shoes perfect for wear on and off the court.
Available on July 24, at select Nike Basketball retailers in-store, online, and on the Nike website for $205, the GT Cut 3 “Olympic Safari” is already fetching bids over $400 on StockX — an indicator that this shoe is destined to be one of the hottest collector’s items of the summer, and that you need to be quick if you want to cop a pair at its retail price.
