Matt Varga Even as the GT Future surges forward and the GT Cut 4 debut looms, Nike’s international arm may be giving the “Greater Than” series a run for its money. Already heralded with the ST Flare in 2025, the “Street Tough” series might be giving the Swoosh another premier inline basketball family for hoopers, as the Nike ST Glow begins writing its own story.
For some brief context, ST is Beaverton’s latest ode to the tradition in Asian countries, particularly China, of developing the recreational game on outdoor courts and concrete surfaces. The Nike Zoom Court Dragon (designed by Tinker Hatfield, no less) and a range of Engineered Performance versions of recent signature shoes speak to this being an overarching initiative for years.
In the ST Glow, they may have found their biggest hit to date, as the model and its rigid linework of the mudguard and sole unit have instantly taken audiences by storm. Contrasting its initially revealed black/red is this chilly “Pure Platinum,” pairing neutral tones on its knit upper with pale blue in the lower half, wrapping a platform that features XDR (eXtra Durable Rubber) traction and Zoom cushioning.
Again, it’s currently unlikely that the Nike ST Glow silhouette will see official releases in the US, expected to remain Asia-exclusive the way the Glow has. If you do happen to come across these, expect a retail equivalent in the $80/$85 range.
