Victor Wembanyama’s Latest Nike GT Hustle 3 Colorway is an Alien Cow Abduction

There are a few long-running themes to America’s obsession with alien abduction theories. Crop circles are the most obvious ones, but nearly every story about alien abductions takes place in middle American farm land, and for over 100 years, those farmers have been claiming that extra-terrestrials have been beaming up cows from their herds.

Nike is bringing those farmer's tales and Far Side cartoons to the latest alien-themed Victor Wembanyama PE, adding a full upper of cow print to a personalized pair of Nike GT Hustle 3s, with alien-green accents on the Swoosh and midsole to represent a tractor beam taking cattle back for probing.

The PE for the NBA’s resident alien starts with white engineered mesh, but adds splochy black cow print graphics across the one-piece upper for a full foot of cow print. The Swoosh and outsole are both done in a glowing martian green, with Wemby’s “Be Unique” tagline added to the tongue for extra alien accents.

So far, Wemby has launched five different PE Nike sneakers, all of which have been on the GT Hustle model. There was his original alien-themed GT Hustle 2, which paved the way for more alien themes on the GT Hustle 3. The latest from Wemby and Nike was a pumpkin-themed rendition of the model that slid right in with the rest of the Nike Basketball Halloween collection.

The Victor Wembanyama x Nike GT Hustle 3 Cow Abduction PE doesn’t have a scheduled release, so unfortunately for UFO fans, it looks like this one will be exclusive to Wemby. For all the latest signature NBA sneaker news, make sure to download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
