Nike G.T. Cut Sprite

Nike is releasing the G.T. Cut in a Sprite colorway on June 12, 2026, pairing one of basketball‘s sharpest performance silhouettes with the lime-green and yellow palette of the iconic soft drink brand. The result is a court-ready shoe that leans hard into the collaboration’s signature color story, making it one of the more visually distinct G.T. Cut releases to date.

Nike has been a defining force in athletic footwear for decades, building a catalog that spans lifestyle, running, and performance basketball. The brand’s basketball line in particular has long set the standard for how performance shoes are designed and marketed, with each new silhouette pushing toward a specific on-court purpose. The G.T. Cut sits within Nike’s G.T. series, a performance basketball family built around distinct movement profiles. Where other shoes in the line focus on jumping or all-around play, the G.T. Cut is engineered specifically for speed and agility, targeting players who rely on sharp cuts and quick directional changes to create separation on the court. The silhouette’s low-profile construction supports that purpose, keeping the foot close to the ground for responsive movement.

The Sprite edition brings the soft drink brand’s recognizable color combination directly onto the upper, working lime-green and yellow through the design to create a look that is immediately tied to the brand partnership. Sprite has a long history of association with basketball culture, and this colorway reflects that ongoing connection in a wearable, performance-focused package. The shoe works both as a functional court option and as a piece that stands out away from the hardwood.

The Nike G.T. Cut in the Sprite colorway releases on June 12, 2026, through Nike’s official channels and select retailers, priced at $200. If this release has you interested in the broader G.T. series, it’s worth exploring the other silhouettes in the Nike G.T. line to find the build that fits your game.
