Original Story 12/26/25:
Continuing the GT Cut line’s emphasis on speed and precision, the Nike GT Cut 4 “Metallic Blue” leans into a cleaner, more sculptural approach than earlier editions. The metallic finish signals a shift toward bolder shell construction while keeping the model’s on-court priorities intact.

Metallic blue material wraps the lateral side, delivering a smooth, reflective look that feels technical rather than flashy. Molded sidewall ridges introduce a biomorphic flow, echoing movement and containment in one motion. Meanwhile, navy tones across the tongue and forefoot create contrast while visually slimming the upper. Subtle Swoosh placements and GT heel branding keep the presentation restrained.

Underfoot, wavy traction suggests quick directional control, a hallmark of the GT Cut series. ZoomX foam works alongside an Air Zoom Strobel to maintain responsiveness without sacrificing court feel. Compared to earlier models, this setup appears more sculpted and controlled.

The Nike GT Cut 4 “Metallic Blue” is expected February 26th, 2026 for $200 USD, available via Nike.com and select Nike Basketball retailers.
