As he celebrates his 21st birthday on May 30, Shaedon Sharpe received a nice early gift from Nike who has just released a Nike Air Zoom GT Jump 2 in his name! It’s a great accomplishment for the Blazers showman,
The upper uses the colors of the Blazers with a red base complemented by black. We also find golden touches like on the “Swoosh”. There are numerous nods to the Canadian player from Portland, such as the inscription “Shae” appearing on the tongue with the contours of a maple leaf in red on a black background, or the slogan “Imma catch whoever in the way ! » inside the tab, in black on a red background.
The Nike Air Zoom GT Jump 2 “SS Shaedon Sharp” is already available on Basket4Ballersat a price of 220 euros.
Our verdict on the Nike Air Zoom GT Jump 2
With the “Jump” version of the “Air Zoom GT” series, Nike wanted to push the comfort aspect to its peak and continued with this idea for this new version. As expected, the result is certainly very comfortable and very pleasant. But do the efforts made offer a significant gain in comfort compared to other models? The question remains. We can say that a full-length Nike React foam embellished with a few gadgets that the comma brand has the secret to could have done the trick just as well.
The positive points are numerous, but it all remains a question of compromise, and also of the player profile for which this model seems more intended. We will go more for large sizes, more looking for support on the top of the foot, rebound, but also comfort, rather than explosive characteristics. A model of which Nikola Jokic was, for example, the perfect ambassador before signing with 361°. Shaedon Sharpe, however, demonstrates today that he can also be a perfect match for players of his profile.
