Dylan Harper is working with TITAN on his first Nike GT Cut 1 collaboration, tying the project back to his Filipino heritage. The “Before The Light” colorway takes its name from the hours of work that come before the attention, using a sunrise theme to carry that idea across the shoe.

Black mesh covers most of the upper, with orange, yellow, blue, and red breaking through around the tongue, collar, and heel. The lateral Swoosh has an iridescent finish, while a translucent blue outsole keeps the early-morning theme moving underfoot.

There are a few smaller details worked into the design. “Create Separation” appears near the eyestay, green “001” branding sits on the medial side, and the heel tabs use different colors. Four extra lace options also come with the pair.

The cushioning setup stays familiar. A full-length drop-in React foam midsole sits over a parabolic Air Zoom Strobel, with another Zoom Air unit in the heel. An extra-durable rubber outsole gives the shoe enough grip and toughness for outdoor courts.

TITAN has built its name in the Philippines by combining basketball retail with barbershop services inside its boutiques. That local connection gives the release more weight than a standard player collaboration. This darker “Before The Light” colorway arrives alongside the brighter “Origin Story” pair, giving Harper’s first TITAN collection two very different looks built around the same journey.

The Titan x Dylan Harper x Nike GT Cut 1 “Before The Light” will release August 6, 2026 on SNKRS and select retail for $210.
