G.T. Hustle Academy

The Nike G.T. Hustle basketball shoes are comfortable with great cushion and nice ankle support. The padding around the ankle seems better quality than other basketball shoes, which is favorite part of the shoe. This shoe provides great grip while running up and down the basketball court, both inside and outside. The black/ grey design is nice, clean, and blends in making it not overly showy. A huge plus for me! Even though I have not worn them very many times, the fabric appears to be holding up well. This material helps with keeping my feet a little cooler during games. As of now, I don’t have any part of the shoe that I would change. Definitely recommend!

Fit & Feel: They run about half a size to a full size small, so I’d recommend sizing up 0.5. That said, the fit is still excellent—secure, supportive, and comfortable once you get the right size. Design: I really like the unique style. They have a clean, modern look and offer solid arch support, which makes them stand out. Fabric & Materials: The materials feel durable and high-quality. They don’t seem like they’d tear or wear out quickly. What I Liked Most: The snug, sturdy fit combined with great grip makes for fast, responsive movement on the court. What I’d Change: I’d add just a bit more cushioning to the insole for extra comfort during long wear and playing inside or outside the court.

These G.T. Hustle Academy basketball shoes have a clean, modern, look and feel. Sizing was spot on for me, and I liked that the Flyknit fabric keeps them light and breathable, which is great for longer runs. The traction felt decent on wood floors (I haven’t tried them on asphalt yet), and the ankle support is also pretty good, even for a low top. They’re not perfect, though. The toe box is on the tighter side, so if you have wider feet you might notice it. They also feel a little stiff out of the box, so expect to play a few times before they loosen up. The laces are shorter than I’d like, which makes double-knotting kind of a pain, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Once they’re broken in, they’re comfortable, responsive, and feel good. And the fact that they’re made with recycled materials is a nice touch — always good when performance gear is a little better for the planet.
