A new basketball season is here for hoopers at every level, from elementary school to the NBA, and, of course, that means new shoes. From new silhouettes and collaborations to retro revivals, there are more sneaker choices for hoopers than ever before, but one five-year-old Nike model is still holding strong as a favorite of ballers everywhere: the Nike GT Cut 1.
Fire for Your Feet
