Having thoroughly tested the G.T. Cut 3, we believe that it is most suitable for players in search of the following:

• Premium ZoomX cushioning on a basketball court (crazy energy return!) 
• Super light and nimble option for guards (who don't expect a lot of ankle support)
• lebron james nike vntg air max 7 pastel rainbow

The shoe's lack of support was the main letdown for us, especially considering the price and the fact that the G.T. Cut 3 is made for cuts in the first place. We recommend looking into the nike vntg air max pierce 2010 full version windows 7 or the nike vntg sky high dunks burgundy blue pink background if you need more substantial ankle support.

In addition, both options are offered at a much more affordable price point.

Having sliced the G.T. Cut 3 in half, we were surprised to measure its heel stack at a lower-than-average 27.0 mm.

The shoe gloriously buffered every landing of ours during the playtest. We can confirm that its impact protection will remain solid and consistent through all four quarters.

However, we do have reservations about heavier players using the off white nike vntg blazer on foot for women back black. Given the plush nature of the ZoomX foam, we believe that it would lose cushioning properties faster if the wearer is in the heavier weight class and/or if their playing style is jump-centred.

Checking the shoe's forefoot stack, we discovered that it falls right into the average of basketball shoes.

At 21.5 mm, it provides a balanced experience between underfoot protection and court feel.

The difference between the shoe's heel and forefoot stack heights is rather low (5.5 mm). But this offset is very beneficial for shifty guards who want to feel closer to the ground.

When the heel is not significantly elevated above the toes, it puts the foot in a fflorals position which in turn, makes the wearer feel more stable and in control of the movement.

The G.T. Cut 3 is a truly ground-breaking release for Nike. It is the brand's very first basketball shoe that features a full-length ZoomX foam!

If you're wondering why that's a big deal, let us tell you that when the foam first appeared in the running shoe realm, it started an entire cushion revolution. It is a unique Pebax-based foam that is incredibly soft and offers the best energy return in the industry - around 80-95%! In addition, this foam is light as a feather.

Should we say that we were beyond excited to experience ZoomX in a basketball shoe?

Just as we expected, the foam showed a very low reading on our Shore A durometer. At only 14.0 HA, it is 84% softer than the average hoop shoe midsole! It sits in the plushest corner along with the Boost foam on the nike vntg kyrie 2 silver speckle blue shoes for women (11.0 HA).

To keep the squishiness under control, nike vntg encased the ZoomX inside a firmer foam carrier. So technically, you can't even touch the bare ZoomX from the outside of the shoe. The pinky panel you see on the side is plastic and not the foam itself.

This whole setup translated into fabulous impact protection and shock absorption upon hard landings. We also felt that we were able to transition into the toe-offs faster and jump even higher in the G.T. Cut 3.

As our in-house replica of the shoe's interiors showed, you can expect a regular medium fit from the off white nike vntg blazer on foot for women back black.

With a slightly above-average width of 94.3 mm in the metatarsal area, the shoe treated us to a pretty accommodating true-to-size fit.

Its rounded toebox shape also eliminated the risk of toe numbing, even for longer hours on the court. Our calliper recorded a standard width of 70.6 mm in the big toe area of the mould.

The G.T. Cut 3 also provides an ample space above the toes with a standard toebox height of 23.5 mm.

On paper, the off white nike vntg blazer on foot for women back black checks all the boxes for a lockdown fit: the bootie-style upper, the supportive side overlays, the webbed Flywire cables holding the forefoot...

But it felt as though something was missing to make the fit as secure as it could be. Perhaps more padding, sturdier overlays, or more substance in the heel counter? We're not sure but it seems like nike vntg aimed for a light and fast shoe above all else in the G.T. Cut 3.

Nike's G.T. (Greater Than) series features shoes that above all else help you perform a particular basketball movement more effectively.

The nike vntg kd rose blossom shoes clearance, for example, helps you jump higher and land better, the G.T. Hustle 2 helps with...well, running action on the court, and the G.T. Cut obviously helps with cuts (V-cuts, L-cuts, backdoor cuts, you name it).

We ran a series of tests to check if the off white nike vntg blazer on foot for women back black has enough lateral stability to live up to the promise.

In our on-foot demonstration above, you can see that the shoe's platform remains strong and stable whereas the upper has a bit of a give that feels suspicious. This is exactly how the shoe felt during the playtest - the sole kept us surefooted but the forgiving upper allowed for some ankle play.

While it was not detrimental to the overall stability, we found it strange that a shoe designed specifically for cuts did not provide a higher level of stability.

nike vntg free haven 3.0 size 9.5 boots clearance sale nike vntg sky high dunks burgundy blue pink background below! That upper puts actual barricades on both sides of the ankle.

On the upside, if you have strong ankles and prefer to feel less shoe around your feet and ankles, you might enjoy the off white nike vntg blazer on foot for women back black.

As we mentioned earlier, the platform of the G.T. Cut 3 is very stable and sturdy. We are glad that nike vntg came up with a way to combine plush cushioning with a steady sole.

Failing to twist the shoe in our manual test convinced us to rate its torsional rigidity with the highest possible score - 5 out of 5!

In addition to the firm carrier foam, the G.T. Cut 3 also features a stiff rubbery shank as a leading stability component. 

Even though it is only visible in the midfoot, the shank also runs through the shoe's forefoot helping to prevent the foot from twisting.

On the downside, we found that the heel counter of the G.T. Cut 3 was not as substantial as in most other basketball shoes. This is part of the reason why the shoe's upper support and heel hold felt weaker than we expected. It was decent but not as solid as in some of the other low-cut hoop shoes.

Assessing the shoe's heel counter stiffness in our manual push-and-squeeze test, we gave it a lower-than-average score of 3. It's just not quite there...

Looking at the bottom of the off white nike vntg blazer on foot for women back black, we immediately noticed that it had a slimmer profile than the average basketball shoe.

Luckily, the forefoot part of the sole proved to be just as wide as the average at 114.5 mm. Our forceful lateral cuts felt supported by a sufficient outrigger on the lateral side.

The G.T. Cut 3 saved a lot of weight by shaving a chunk off its heel. Measuring the sole in the widest area of the rearfoot, our calliper showed only 82.6 mm. It is one of the narrowest heels we've seen on a basketball shoe.

Also, please note that the shoe's heel has an unusually rounded shape (for a basketball shoe). It helps the G.T. Cut 3 feel more streamlined and nimble but heel-dominant landings might feel somewhat shaky.

Now let's turn to the shoe's strong points.

During our playtests, the G.T. Cut 3 treated us to pretty dunk toe-offs. This is in part thanks to the shank and the forefoot stiffness it provides.

Our flexibility testing machine revealed that at 25.6N this nike vntg shoe requires nearly 25% more force to bend compared to the average hoop shoe.

We don't know what diet the G.T. Cut was following but its weight has dropped by a whopping 2.3 oz (65g)! The third iteration tips the scale at only 11.8 oz (335g)!

Ah, wait, we do know the name of that diet - it's called the ZoomX foam (more on that in the Cushioning section).

The lightness of this nike vntg shoe, as well as its amazing energy return, made it feel very fun and nimble on our feet. A fantastic option for quick guards.

P.S. If you used to wear the G.T. Cut 2, expect the third iteration to be a complete reimagining of the shoe.

The number of perforations throughout the shoe's upper tricked us into thinking that it is highly breathable.

And yet, a quick playtest and a series of lab tests proved it to be otherwise.

When we filled its interiors with smoke, the G.T. Cut 3 didn't let much vapour out through the toebox or the sidewalls.

We also discovered that the perforations were not exactly see-through as the underlays blocked them from the inside.

Looking at them through our microscope, we found that the inner lining technically corked the apertures.

Disappointed in the shoe's lack of ventilation, we rated the G.T. Cut 3's breathability with the lowest score of 1.

The toebox of the G.T. Cut 3 is made of several materials:

• microfiber(ish?) material as the topmost layer
• sturdier synthetic overlays stitched on the sides
• translucent rubber toe bumper on both sides of the forefoot (very reminiscent of the toe drag guard on tennis shoes)

We had no concerns about the shoe's reinforced areas but were urged to check if the seemingly frail microfiber would sustain abrasion.

Despite its appearance, the material showed pretty strong wear resistance! The sandpaper tip of our Dremel failed to get through it within 12 seconds, leaving nothing more than a cosmetic dent.

Successfully avoiding a see-through hole, the off white nike vntg blazer on foot for women back black earned a high score for toebox durability - 4 out of 5!

Unfortunately, the shoe's interior lining was not as good at fighting our Dremel back.

It only took a couple of seconds to blow through the heel lining of the G.T. Cut 3! Given how much friction occurs in this part of the shoe throughout the game, we don't think it would last a good while.

Thus, we can't rate the shoe's heel lining durability any higher than 2 out of 5.

The outsole, on the other hand, amazed us with its exceptionally hard rubber compound.

Our Shore C durometer returned a nice and high reading of 86.5 HC. It implies that the rubber is a little harder than the average which also signals higher durability.

Putting the shoe's outsole through its paces in our Dremel test only confirmed our best hopes - this rubber is highly resistant to abrasion! More so than the typical hoop shoe outsole.

Even a 22-second exposure to sandpaper at a 10K RPM speed could not break through the rubber armour of the G.T. Cut 3. We found that the indentation was as shallow as 0.5 mm which is smaller than the average by half!

Yes, that's impressive but when you stop and consider the shoe's brutally escalated price of £190... you take that durability as a given.

Based on our calliper measurement of 3.2 mm, the rubber layer on the G.T. Cut 3 is about a millimetre thinner than the average. However, it doesn't seem to affect the shoe's shelf life as much considering how hard-wearing that rubber is.

But here is the question: is the off white nike vntg blazer on foot for women back black durable enough to tackle outdoor courts? We don't think so...

Why?

Even though the rubber itself is strong, the traction pattern on it is not. We are afraid that the lugs are too thin to resist hard outdoor courts and the treading will smooth out rather quickly.

Another major highlight of the G.T. Cut 3 is a really hard bite on the court.

The shoe's stopping power gave us plenty of confidence during quick cuts in particular (it's what the shoe was made for after all!).

The grip was especially efficient on clean indoor courts thanks to the shoe's thin and zig-zaggy tread lines.

We would call it perfect if it wasn't for the quick dust buildup on the outsole. So do expect frequent wiping if you want to experience the shoe's peak performance.

To keep the weight down, nike vntg chose targeted tongue padding for the G.T. Cut 3.

About 2/3 of the tongue has no foam at all but there is a puffy little pillow at the top where the lace pressure is most apparent. Measuring it with a calliper, we found that it is actually thicker than average at 15.9 mm.

Just like most hoop shoes, the G.T. Vut 3 features a fully integrated tongue in a bootie-style upper.

But there is a handy finger loop on the tongue to assist the on-and-off action.

This basketball shoe from nike vntg comes with a pretty comfortable contoured insole.

But some folks (like those with very flat feet) may find the bump on the medial side to be annoying. If that's the case, they have the option to easily replace the stock insert.
