The Nike G.T. Cut 4 “Preheat” marks the highly anticipated debut of Nike Basketball’s next-generation silhouette, famously previewed by star athlete Paige Bueckers.
This colorway, officially titled “Persian Violet/Glacier Blue/Black/Chrome,” features a striking iridescent leather upper that shifts through aquatic shades of teal, blue and purple, creating a dynamic visual effect under different lighting. Sculpted ridges wrap the lateral and medial sides, resembling DNA helices or fishbone patterns, giving the shoe a bold, aerodynamic identity.
The “Persian Violet” laces and interior padding complement the shimmering exterior, while a mini Swoosh sits low along the midsole for subtle branding. A 3D‑molded collar, molded vamp tongue, and exoskeleton‑casted containment upper provide multidirectional support, ensuring stability during quick movements.
Underfoot, the sneaker integrates ZoomX 3.0 cushioning with a parabolic Zoom Strobel unit, paired with RBR‑X foam and a Cushlon carrier for enhanced responsiveness, stability, and propulsion. The partially translucent outsole features a generative traction pattern engineered for grip and control during rapid directional changes, making the model ideal for guards and players who rely on speed and agility.
