G.T. Hustle Academy

From the traction provided to the firm hold around my soles, these shoes are great. These two main features of the shoe allow for an immensely consistent level of agility on offense and defense, elevating my game for the matches I have worn them. In terms of design, the fabric exterior gives a unique look not often seen in Basketball shoes, allowing for a new modern approach that I personally am fond of.

This shoe was better than expected as soon as I put it on foot. Out of the box, this pair just seemed like a standard lower tier basketball shoe. I was thoroughly surprised from the jump because I’m typically a signature shoe buyer. The cushion was better than some other models that I’ve played in. There was no heel slippage that I’m accustomed to in lower cut models. The flyknit was very breathable and wasn’t too stiff that needed break-in time. The courts I play on are typically dusty but I never doubted the traction and was able to play the entire time without having to wipe the soles once. Halfway through I did a squeak test and the traction passed with flying colors. Overall this shoe is very well made and passes all tests needed to prove its capability as a great option. If this model had a signature athlete’s logo on it, it would be the best selling model in the basketball catalog.

Overall this shoe is awesome! Aesthetically, the design and colorway of the black Nike Hustle GT Basketball shoe is amazing! All black, Nike logo, and fabric breathable design on it is awesome! They are extremely comfortable and have amazing grip when working out, running, or playing basketball! The fit is great and they are true to size. The only knock on them is the padding. I feel like there is too much padding on the tongue that makes the shoe feel a little tight unless laces are loosened up. Other than that, the shoe would be 5/5!
