Traction: high

The more traction you have under your feet, the more separation you can generate from your opponent. It helps you stop in an instant and change speed. The herringbone pattern of the G.T. Cut Academy offers unstoppable heel-to-toe traction, ideal for lateral cuts and quick changes of motion.

Reactivity: moderate

The more reactive the shoes are, the more energy return you will recover with each cut, pivot and movement towards the rim. Reactive shoes offer more elasticity in the step to offer speed in the quarters. The bottom-loading Zoom Air unit in the forefoot helps you play fast on the court when the game heats up.

Cushioning: moderate

The more cushioning there is in the sole of the foot, the more comfortable the game will be. We've stacked the midsole with two foams to offer an incredible level of comfort and support. They are perfect for long basketball sessions on demanding surfaces.
