We’ve only scratched the surface of the Nike GT Future, the new lifestyle basketball model considered as one of 2025’s best new sneaker designs. It’s a distinction rightfully earned, because its super-sharp design and perfect build up is exactly what shoe-heads have been searching for in today’s over-marketed landscape of drops. Now that Nike has established the GT Future into the market, it’s time to get a peek into what could be coming in 2026, and today we have a look at one of the more exciting prospects for next year.
This new “Grand Purple” colorway of the GT Future carries all of those sick elements that make up a strong release. Great colorway anchored by a rich purple paired with a hit of pink, a fully reflective upper for that boastful stance at nighttime, and now a splatter pattern that wraps the entire bottom. This design touch, where flecks of paint are sprayed on the shoe, is a quintessential Nike touch, one that instantly elevates a sports-driven silhouette’s appearance.
This is indeed an earlier-than-expected first look, so a true release date is unknown. We do, however, confirm a product SKU and official color specs, which all but confirms a release in happening in 2026. Stay tuned for updates.
