Nike Air Zoom G.T. Cut 3 Review
Pros:
The ZoomX foam feels bouncy
Lightweight
Cons:
Poor material quality
Dust affects traction
Performance of the Nike Air Zoom G.T. Cut 3:
Nike releases the third entry in the G.T. Cut lineup using full-length ZoomX foam for the first time in a basketball shoe.
Reviewers agree the traction performs very well on clean courts, but dust causes some slipping.
ZoomX makes its debut in a basketball shoe. The cushioning feels shifty and springy, but it doesn't have as much impact protection as Zoom.
The materials are a disappointment, especially considering the shoe's price. They don't hamper performance much, but they feel cheap.
The fit is solid as long as you tighten down the laces.
Support and lockdown are decent, but be aware the containment has some give to it.
The Nike G.T. Cut 3 is a solid enough performer because of the traction and cushioning.

You need the proper skill set to use the Nike G.T. Cut 3. The shoe plays fast, and the cushioning is bouncy. Torsional support and lateral containment can be an issue.

after playing 4 hours in em so far, traction is great and bites very well, even through dust which it can pick up on tho. if in dusty court u might slide if u forget to wipe. cushion is great; zoom x is nice. bounce and impact protection is great. a lot of energy return from shank and zoom x. support is great, only problem is the weight, which is really light, could cause some rolling if ankle with how good the traction is, but torsional support is great. materials and fit are comfortable.

Pretty good shoe, but there are definitely better options for 200$. Traction is outstanding on clean courts; it picks up a bit of dust but a simple wipe will remove most of it. It feels quick and light, and very comfortable, but if you want a low to the ground and responsive shoe, this is not for you. Materials feel cheap, tho.

The midsole is full-length ZoomX foam, which is super bouncy. The shank is small, making the shoe incredibly flexible. There isn't much rigidity, though.
