Nike’s ever-evolving basketball line is taking the next steps into the future for 2026, thanks to the GT (Greater Than) line, building on Beaverton’s favorite in-line hoops series with two new silhouettes, the GT Future and GT Cut 4. We took a deep dive into the space-age inspiration behind the GT Future, and now, we’re getting new leaks of a bright red colorway of its counterpart, the GT Cut 4.
The latest early look at the GT Cut 4 is a two-tone red and navy combo, but more importantly, the first true matte colorway of the shoe we’ve seen yet. The colorway starts with university red wrapping around the lateral side past the heel and adds navy on the asymmetrical tongue and lace system that covers the medial side. The sockliner is black to match the tongue, with two-tone black and reflective laces. Nike Swooshes on both sides of the heel are done in iridescent shimmer, continuing the opal theme on early PE pairs of the new silhouette.
