Victor Wembanyama has the world’s roughest wake-up call after the NBA Finals. The world-bending alien dominated the Western Conference playoffs, dispatching the reigning champions and helping the young Spurs to the precipice of the league’s highest peak. And then he ran into the Knicks. After building up big leads game after game, Wemby and the Spurs faltered in fourth quarters and watched a parade spill ticker tape onto lower Manhattan.
Switching gears to the offseason, Wemby has been a Nike athlete since he came into the league, dropping plenty of perfectly crafted alien-themed colroways, but after this PE, he might need to talk to someone in charge. Adding insult to injury after the Finals loss, the Nike GT Cut 4 NY vs. NY Victor Wembanyama PE takes after a recent Nike Kobe 6 Protro Jalen Brunson PE in Statue of Liberty teal.

To be fair, the colorway is made for the NY vs. NY high school basketball tournament, but even with context, the colorway still stings. Featuring two tones of teal on either side of the asymmetric upper, the pair adds gold accents on the lace loops and Swoosh branding, with grey hits on the back half of the midsole. Tying the colorway to Wemby’s French heritage, the heel references Lady Liberty’s origin as a gift from France, with “You’re Welcome” written in English and French on the heels. These days, NYC has a lot to thank Victor for.
The Nike GT Cut 4 NY vs. NY Victor Wembanyama PE will be released Fall 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $210. For all the latest Wemby Nike PE news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
