AJ Dybantsa Debuted a New Nike Basketball Silhouette at NBA Summer League

Everything is a little brighter in Vegas. It might be the neon lights, the celebrity chefs, or the high stakes, but then again, it might just be the sun. For the NBA’s young up-and-comers, July in Vegas turns the heat up even more, with Summer League turning into another spot to show out and be seen by coaches, peers, and fans. For number one draft pick AJ Dybantsa, Summer League is also the spot for fresh shoes.

AJ Dybantsa Enters the League With a New PE

Dybantsa pulled out a brand-new Nike Basketball silhouette in shiny metallic silver with his throwing star-shaped PE logo on the heel at Summer League in Vegas this week. Part of the GT (Greater Than) line, the new silhouette is a low-top hoop shoe with wavy ribs built into the side panels and a one-piece bootie-style lockdown underneath.

Starting with a black one-piece toecap and tongue with a reflective silver stripe running up the center of it, the thick mirrored silver side panels stretch out to stabilize the shoe, with textured ridges leading to each diamond-shaped lace eyelet before dipping back into a concave shape. The laces are a two-tone mix of black and silver, with Dybantsa’s PE logo in more silver at the heel.

Nike Expands the GT Line

This silhouette was originally labeled by Nike as the Nike GT Future Low, but now it looks like Beaverton will be switching up the name before the model’s eventual release. To keep up with all the latest from Nike Basketball and NBA Summer League, download the Sole Retriever App.
