Victor Wembanyama’s latest Nike GT Cut 4 PE turns the Statue of Liberty into a full sneaker theme, covering the performance model in monument-inspired green with gold detailing. Official images show the EP edition of the shoe, a version generally associated with the Asia-Pacific market.

Nike ties the design to Wembanyama’s French background. France gifted the Statue of Liberty to the United States, and the heel graphics extend that story with a basketball spin. “You’re Welcome” appears on the left shoe, while the same message is written in French on the right.

The wording gives the pair more personality than a standard player-exclusive colorway. It also fits the larger identity Nike has built around Wembanyama, whose footwear has regularly leaned into bold concepts, alien references and custom branding since his arrival in the NBA.

Wembanyama has worn a growing lineup of Nike Basketball PEs alongside several colorways made available at retail. That level of attention continues to raise questions about a possible signature model, although Nike has not confirmed that one is in development.

New York also becomes part of the conversation through the Statue of Liberty theme. The reference is impossible to miss, and the confident heel message adds another wrinkle for Knicks fans following Wembanyama’s latest on-court sneaker.

Nike has not announced a U.S. release for the Victor Wembanyama x Nike GT Cut 4 “Statue of Liberty” PE. The official images currently feature the Nike GT Cut 4 EP, leaving wider availability and a possible stateside launch unconfirmed.
