Nike chose Victor Wembanyama and the future phenomenon of women's basketball Paige Bueckers to highlight the GT Hustle 3 and try to compete with the GT Cut line, until now the most popular with the general public.
The “Wemby” model has received renewed attention in recent weeks with yet another new “Laser Orange” colorway which should liven up the start of 2025. The “knitted” Flyknit upper appears in orange with a white base. gray. The “Swoosh” appears in black with “metal gray” outlines on one side. The sole also appears in white-gray. The inscriptions on the tongue and the “GT” on the heel are also in gray.
The pair is announced for the month of January on North American soil for the price of 190 dollars.
Our verdict on the Nike GT Hustle 3
Nike offers itself a nice rebound on the Nike GT Hustle 3 after having received a small disappointment on the Nike GT Husle 2. The model has found here the DNA of the Nike GT Run, with a shoe focused on comfort; with this mix of “Zoom X” and “Nike React” foam combined with a double “Zoom Air” unit, and breathability, while offering good guarantees in terms of grip.
Victor Wembanyama has long favored the Nike GT Run, and has almost not worn the Nike GT Hustle 2. However, it is with this pair on his feet that he began the exercise in court, notably with a brilliant campaign at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This is undoubtedly a sign that the Spurs pivot has found the characteristics of the first model in the series, and that the comma brand has been able to correct the situation.
The Nike GT Hustle 3 in any case has a good place to regain behind the Nike GT Cut 3 which remains the most popular line of the “Nike GT” collection.
