dotSWOOSH's Nike G.T. Future "Swoosh-Man" Drops March 20 via SNKRS Pre-Order

Swoosh-Man, Nike's oft-forgotten superhero mascot from 1996, is getting his very own G.T. Future sneaker—courtesy of Nike Basketball.

The news arrives after the Nike Sportswear division has dedicated several product launches to the defunct mascot. Graphic t-shirts and other items to reference Swoosh-Man have come and gone, but the Greater Than series silhouette has a chance to penetrate through to a wider audience, serving as the company's most cohesive effort yet in retelling the story of its acrobatic hero-mascot—an effort fit for its 30th anniversary.

According to information sourced by Elden Monitors, the Swoosh-Man-inspired G.T. Future basketball sneaker features a "Metallic Silver/Black/University Red" color scheme. Official product images of the project surfaced in mid-March, eliminating any speculation as to what the commemorative hoops shoe could look like.

Faithful to its muse, the G.T. Future sees its molded upper do in shades of silver and blue—offset with ruby-colored swooshes. The top-half is reminiscent of the defunct hero's helmet, a detail that's recreated as a special logo on the tongue, footbed, and outsole. Purple flair lands on the inner bootie and sole unit.

Nike’s dotSWOOSH x Nike G.T. Future "Swoosh-Man" is set to release via SNKRS pre-orders on March 20, confirmed by dotSWOOSH.
