Nike's Greater Than series of performance basketball models aims to cover every player's needs regardless of position. The GT Hustle, dubbed initially the GT Run, focuses on those who use speed to their advantage. However, the mainline entries in the Greater Than series have all been priced at premium price points, with the introduction of the GT Cut 3 bringing us the first budget model in the series, the GT Cut Academy. The GT Hustle is now getting its own budget-friendly model with the GT Hustle Academy.
Crafted with a focus on lightweight agility, the GT Hustle Academy features a breathable Flyknit upper for exceptional comfort and mobility. Leather elements on the vamp and eyestays add durability and support, while a neoprene heel ensures a snug, adaptive fit. The sneaker's design is accentuated with GT Academy branding on the tongue and an intricately embroidered Swoosh on the midfoot, signaling Nike's meticulous attention to detail.
Nike's pinwheel Swoosh logo on the medial sole indicates that the sneaker contains recycled materials. This emblem aligns with Nike's sustainability efforts and appeals to the eco-conscious athlete. While details are sparse, the sole unit is expected to continue the series' legacy of providing responsive cushioning tailored to basketball players' dynamic movements.
The Nike GT Hustle Academy will release in Fall 2024 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $95.
