As we await the official launch of the Nike Zoom GT Cut 4, newly surfaced colorways of the upcoming model showcase the irregular design. Easily the most unconventional of the four designs, the Cut 4 brings with it an exoskeleton that reminds us of the ridged appearance of H.R. Giger’s Alien. In black, that comparison is even more apparent.

Despite the funky and futuristic look, the GT Cut 4 stays true to its tenets. The singular goal is the create the most advanced basketball shoe, and there might not be a Nike shoe out there that can compete with the power-packed cushioning and engineering that went into the shoe. It features a ZoomX 3.0 midsole and a parabolic Zoom Strobel made specifically for the on-court movements, while a RBR-X foam adds even more stability to the multi-position model. Beneath it all is a Cushlon carrier for even more support.

All these come together to create a performance package that is truly otherworldly. It remains as one of Nike’s most trusted basketball shoes, seeing widespread use wherever the game is played. And with black footwear always holding a spot in the rotation, this Black/Anthracite/Multi-color edition of the GT Cut 4 could be among the most popular once it hits retail.
