The new Nike GT Academy basketball shoe is designed to add a twist to your game at all times. This new model has been designed to help you create space between you and the defender. It combines modern design with comfort and performance. The herringbone pattern under the outsole provides grippy stop-and-go traction from heel to toe and is ideal for lateral cuts and quick change of direction. The cushioning of the new Nike GT Academy is ensured by a Zoom Air element under the forefoot and a soft foam midsole that allows you to walk more comfortable throughout the game.
