As NBA stars ramp back up for the start of another season, so too are high school and college hoops programs across the country. With that in mind, Nike is stocking shelves with fresh colorways of one of its most popular non-signature models.
The Nike Zoom GT Cut 3 returns in two fresh colorways for October 2025 – one flashy, the other more reserved. The first comes dressed in “Bleached Turquoise/Barely Volt/Armory Navy/Sundial,” though the look is actually fairly monotone aside from fiery gradients on the Swoosh logos and heel portion of the midsole. The second delivers a South Beach–style mix, built on a “Phantom” base with “Cobalt Tint/Pink Blast” gradients on the Swooshes and the forefoot portion of the outsole.
The GT Cut 3 debuted in early 2024 as the first Nike Basketball sneaker to feature ZoomX foam, paving the way for models like the GT Cut 3 Turbo, LeBron 23, and Ja 3. Combined with other performance benefits like dependable traction and Flywire-supported lockdown, it quickly became one of the most-worn non-signature models in the NBA last season. Nike did unveil what appeared to be the GT Cut 4 on the feet of Paige Bueckers at WNBA All-Star Weekend this summer, but no further information has surfaced. That, alongside the arrival of new colorways, suggests the GT Cut 3 still has a firm place in Nike’s catalog (at least for now).
The Nike GT Cut 3 “Bleached Turquoise/Barely Volt/Armory Navy/Sundial” and “Phantom/Cobalt Tint/Metallic Platinum/Pink Blast” are both set to release October 1st via nike.com and Nike Basketball retailers, priced at $200 each.
