How do you make one of the best basketball shoes even better? Easy – take cues from one of the best basketball teams in history. The upcoming Nike GT Cut 3 Turbo Lakers does exactly that, paying tribute to Los Angeles’ finest while pushing Nike Basketball’s performance tech into new territory. Set to drop as part of the Beaverton brand’s Holiday 2025 lineup, here’s everything you need to know.
Whether you’re pulling up for a step-back or breaking ankles with a quick backdoor cut, the GT Cut 3 Turbo has been engineered with traction that grips the hardwood like glue, letting you stop and start with total control. The lightweight upper is painted in a Lakers-esque color combo of atomic violet, barely grape, and soft yellow, and it molds to your foot for lockdown security. ZoomX cushioning underneath keeps the energy flowing through every sprint, jump, and pivot.
