Deep Aquatic Notes Splash On The Nike Zoom GT Jump 2

The “Greater Than” series marches on as arguably the biggest non-signature success story to come out of Beaverton Basketball in the past few years. Highlighted by the “Electric Pack” that just hit stores, models like the GT Hustle 3 and GT Cut 3 offer up cutting-edge tech for ballers. If your game is founded on high-flying athleticism, the GT Jump 2 is the model for you, and the latest “Obsidian” & “Dusty Cactus” colorway is equal parts taste and flash.

The engineered mesh upper and foot entrance are all clad here in classic “Obsidian Navy,” a cool shade that’s complemented by the “Dusty Cactus” teal underfoot. Slight bronze accents crop up throughout, chiefly on branding sections, to create a prestigious atmosphere in the confines of the aquatic tones of display.

While it makes for an appealing pair of shoes, a laidback colorway like the one featured here makes it easy to miss just how technologically jam-packed this shoe is. Three sections of Zoom Air make up the cushioning package, combining the jump plate at the heel to accelerate and amplify your second jump. Herringbone traction on the outsole and heavy use of negative space in the GT Jump 2’s silhouette to maintain a lightweight feel round out the performance bonafides of the model.

The Nike Zoom GT Jump 2 “Obsidian” will release to retailers and Nike.com in the coming weeks. Retail is set at $180. Enjoy official images via the gallery embedded just below.
