Paige Bueckers Unveils the Nike GT Cut 4 at WNBA All-Star Practice

Nike Basketball officially teased its next-generation silhouette—the Nike GT Cut 4—during the WNBA All-Star Weekend, and it made its on-court debut courtesy of Paige Bueckers during today’s practice session.

Set to launch in January 2026, the new model builds upon the success of the GT Cut line with a futuristic design language and performance-led innovations. The pair spotted on Bueckers features a striking iridescent upper that shifts between aqua and violet tones, balanced by Persian Violet laces and interior padding. Aggressive ridges wrap the lateral and medial sides of the shoe, creating a sculpted visual identity that’s both aerodynamic and bold. A refined mini Swoosh sits low along the midsole, and a partially translucent outsole provides grip underfoot.

While tech specs and pricing are still under wraps, the GT Cut 4 appears to push the series further into modern design territory with a sleek, almost Foamposite-like shell and what looks to be a sculpted midsole plate for added propulsion.

As one of Nike's flagship models for guards, the GT Cut series has been worn by top athletes across both the NBA and WNBA. With Bueckers debuting the pair in Las Vegas, the brand signals a strong push to keep the GT Cut relevant on the hardwood heading into the next season.

The Nike GT Cut 4 is expected to release in January 2026. Stay tuned for more details, including tech breakdowns, pricing, and additional colorways.
