As the women’s basketball landscape evolves and youth girl hoopers become a target for huge NIL deals and the same superstar-in-training track that we’ve seen in boys' basketball for decades, JuJu Watkins has become a Chosen One of the new era. The USC star is taking the season off to heal from an ACL injury, but a new USC-colored GT Cut 3 might be Nike’s way of showing respect during the recovery process.
The new Nike GT Cut 3 is a perfect mix of USC colors with deep maroon red across the upper and a bold golden Swoosh on the side panels. The gold accents continue on the laces and the tongue logo Swoosh, but it’s the branding behind the tongue that has us guessing these are a JuJu PE. With an embroidered graphic of a flower, we’re hoping this is Nike’s way of giving JuJu her flowers for her already incredible set of accomplishments.
