Even though Bruce Lee is no longer with us, his influence continues to ripple through modern culture. He’s shaped everything from blockbuster films and video games to high fashion collections, leaving an unmistakable mark – sneakers included. The mythical Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 in Game of Death set the tone, later echoed in newer releases like the Jabbar Low, Astra Ultra, and DON Issue 7. That legacy now carries forward in the perfectly named Nike GT Cut 3 Turbo Bruce Lee.
Dropping as part of Nike Basketball's Fall 2025 lineup, this Bruce Lee colorway is directly inspired by his iconic yellow jumpsuit. Up top, the sharp, futuristic upper is dipped in a bold Amarillo shade, while slick Black accents cut through for a high-contrast look that’s guaranteed to turn heads. A glossy Swoosh slides across the sidewalls, and because the GT Cut 3 Turbo itself takes cues from sports cars, it’s elevated further with genuine carbon fiber detailing at the forefoot.
But down below is where the magic really happens. While the midsole is chunkier than what you’d find on most basketball shoes, there’s good reason for that. The full-length ZoomX foam injects extra bounce into every step without piling on unnecessary weight, letting you play fast and explosively. It’s also fitted with a padded collar around the Achilles, ensuring the ankle feels comfortable yet locked in. Quite simply, it’s one of the best on-court silhouettes available right now – and if you don’t already own a pair, you’re seriously missing out.
The Nike GT Cut 3 Turbo Bruce Lee was released overseas earlier this year, but a Fall 2025 release is slated for the US. It'll be available via Nike and select retailers both online and in-store in men's sizing and will retail for $210. Want a pair?
