If you thought NIL deals were bringing PE heat to high school and college hoops in the US, you haven’t seen anything yet. In China, the Nike-sponsored Chinese High School Basketball League has been dropping insane colorways from Nike’s basketball lineup for years. This year, the young Chinese hoopers are taking the sponsorship to a new galaxy with a collection of shooting stars.
The Nike GT Cut 4 CHBL Galaxy takes the Foamposite influence on the sleek, armored upper of the latest GT Cut silhouette and brings out the galaxy vibes across the entire upper. Mixing swirling shades of pink, purple, orange, silver, and black with stars speckled across the lateral side. As the galaxy theme loops around the heel, the medial side goes dark for a black hole look across the asymmetric lace panel.

Beyond the galaxy, the sockliner adds a bright shade of fuchsia pink, and the outsole goes bright orange. A hit of white is added to the heelside of the midsole for a bit of contrast, but in general, this pair is about as loud as it gets. In addition to the GT Cut 4 colorway, the latest CHBL exclusive collection features a galaxy-themed GT Future and a pink and purple Sabrina 3.
The Nike GT Cut 4 CHBL Galaxy will be released Summer 2026 exclusively overseas through Nike China and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at approximately $230. To stay up on all the hottest Nike Basketball exclusives that won’t make it stateside, download the Sole Retriever App.
