The Nike GT Future “Rage Green” aka “Grinch” colorway might be the boldest take on the model yet, especially after Wale debuted the pair at J. Cole’s Dreamville Fest. The look immediately sparked conversation, and the shoe is now tied to a February 2026 All-Star Weekend launch in Los Angeles.
This “Grinch”-leaning version goes heavy on bright green shades, drifting from volt to deeper tones across the molded upper. The finish gives off a sculpted, almost Foamposite-style vibe, which separates it from softer modern hoop silhouettes. Black details on the lace area, tongue, and Swoosh help ground the design while keeping the neon gradient front and center.
Performance tech stays true to the GT Future line. The model features a tight inner bootie and a padded heel lock for support. The cushioning system is a hybrid of a Cushlon 3.0 midsole, a forefoot Zoom Air unit and a full-length Zoom Strobel plate. The stack gives the GT Future its springy feel on court, which has made the line popular among athletes who like quick, aggressive movements.
With Wale giving the shoe early visibility, this pair feels like a moment Nike planned carefully.
