Jordan Release Calendar

Even though the GT Cut 3 Turbo only debuted at the start of the year, it’s already built a serious following among sneaker collectors and basketball fans alike. After getting a first look at the Lakers-inspired colorway, we’re now getting up close and personal with the Nike GT Cut 3 Turbo Suns – a vibrant tribute to Arizona’s very own Phoenix Suns.
When the GT Cut 3 Turbo was first unveiled during NBA All-Star Weekend, fans were floored. Compared to its predecessor, it looked like something straight out of the future – sleeker, sharper, and packed with more tech than ever before. For this Suns-themed edition, the upper comes dressed in crisp white mesh, overlaid with violet haze panels on one side and total orange on the other for that unmistakable team energy. A bold Swoosh sweeps across the sidewalls, while two smaller versions land on the tongue for an extra dose of branding flair.

Beneath the surface, the Beaverton brand goes all out on performance. A dual-layer ZoomX midsole delivers explosive bounce and unmatched responsiveness, while a carbon-infused forefoot plate provides stability and snap when cutting or changing direction. The heel-to-toe traction pattern grips the court from every angle, and the lightweight foam base keeps transitions smooth without sacrificing speed or comfort.
So why is the GT Cut 3 Turbo so hyped right now? Because it’s redefining what a modern performance basketball shoe can be. While retro icons like the Air Jordan 1 will always dominate streetwear, the Turbo’s futuristic design, ZoomX-powered cushioning, and aggressive geometry have made it a go-to for players chasing speed, agility, and innovation. It’s a glimpse of where Nike Basketball is heading – and sneakerheads are taking notice.
The Nike GT Cut 3 Turbo Suns is scheduled to launch during Holiday 2025 via Nike and select retailers both online and in-store for $210. For your best shot at securing a pair, make sure you get Sole Retriever's mobile app.
