Nike decided to rebrand the shoe to the GT Hustle so it wasn't confused as a running shoe... Then with the Hustle 2 they decided to take inspiration from the Zoom Talaria...a running shoe LOL

Came here to say the same thing 😂
I really like this silhouette. It reminds of designs from the 90’s. If the traction works then I’m in.
Chris, I picked up a pair of these in Australia a month ago - I'm a big guy, and wear a size 18 in Nikes. It is "*amazing* and one of the most comfortable shoes I own. Great cushion, great support.
These shoes are great, I just played in them this morning, they definitely feel like a running/basketball hybrid shoe, definitely felt good and the traction was on point

Are they as narrow as they look?
I think I said this in a different review of yours, but I love Nike putting some time in on bringing together bball tech and coming back to a more lifestyle design touches again w/ these, Dbook, Ja, Sabrina, Freak, and Lebron. Felt like adidas and puma were the only ones interested in from court to street recently.
These are giving me the Air Trainer vibes. The toe box, the eyelets at the top, the back heel portion... if you squint you know what I mean. I love these.
Much love from Serbia! 🇷🇸
I need these, definitely reminds me of the Zoom BB and other full length zoom low profile basketball sneakers from the mid to late 2000s. I think these might put my LeBron 20s in early retirement lol.
This looks like a classic Nike shoe aesthetically. Can’t wait to see your performance review!
Fun design. Glad Nike is continuing to use the GT series to try new design language.
just tried them in store 20mins ago. Liked the look and feel but they run small. I am US8.5 always but my toes were squeezed in these. Cushioning is not as much as gt cut 2 but good enough.
I’ve been saving unlaced for when I have a chance to watch, but I didn’t realize it was a podcast, I thought it was a vlog! It might help attract new viewers if it literally has ‘podcast’ in the title or thumbnail. All love from Canada for the Wings, I’ll be tuning in as usual
I loved the GT Run except for the thin outsole. They are still my go to for outdoor hoop, crazy bouncy, no knee pain, run all day. I hope these are as good.
Shoe definitely has a 90's vibe. The whole silhouette, the toebox paneling, very 90s. I didn't dig them until they were on feet though, they look so much better on feet. That outsole is really sus looking to me tho. I don't know why Nike insists on trying to reinvent their traction "systems" this drastically for what's supposed to be a solid on-court performer. Like, we know what works. They know what works. Full length Herringbone or Radial patterns, multi-directional. Doesn't have to be complicated. The traction looks like the bottom of a shower mat, like a bunch of suction cups. Maybe that sounds cool on paper but idk.
The upper reminds me of an AJ1 with the 2-lacing holes of the AJ3 and midsole gives off AJ11s. But I love the looks of these 😮
Thanks for an interesting review, Chris! As always 😉 Looking forward for the new episode of "Unlaced" and all the bloopers in New Years special cut 😜 Jokes aside, the first episode was really nice and even a bit emotional - great job! And history of the EVA would feed the curiosity even further!
So far, I like the idea. Some of my favorites shoes to hoop in are trail runners. The grip and lightness of trail runners are crazy underrated as hoopwear. This looks like it incorporates the trail runner benefits with a more durable upper. Nice.
Reminiscent of the Nike zoom BB 2 from around 2008 ish.

Exactly!
Curious to try this. Low to the ground is music to my ears. Awesome review as always! 🔥🔥🔥
This would’ve been nice as a Jordan Brand shoe , like to pay homage to the Jordan 1, looks like a Shadow 1 minus the pink

They actually look like the superfly line 2 me so you are kinda on point with the comment
It looks like a fusion of the Air Jordan 1 and XI classic.
I dig the shoe…it also reminds me of the Air Max 1 for some reason. The traction reminds me of the J Kidd Zoom Flight 5….but I wish they used the traction pattern for that shoe…it was AWESOME!! Track spike inspired.
These make me excited for the dbook1...we need basketball shoes back in the casual space!
I agree with you Chris, these joints look way better on than in hand. As far as looks. They look kinda funky, but at the same time I really like them. Even the color way is interesting. Thanks guys for another great review!
Much LOVE and RESPECT from the Mighty Navajo Nation!!!!
These actually remind me of a mix of the air max 1 toe, the original Etnies Mike Vallely shoe and the sole (from a side profile) of the Jordan 11 and a little bit of Jordan 1 / dunks overall aesthetic as well. Super cool shoes that are up my alley. Just got a pair and I hope they come out with more cool color ways. I wish they would actually make these a Nike iD customizable because there is a lot you could do to it because of its simplicity. I’d love these as a baseball cleat as well…
The tongue and reflective piping along the eyelets and ankle collar remind me of the lebron 20s
Your podcast was awesome! There is a huge audience for your knowledge and funny tangents 😂 keep up the fun work 👏 🔥
Happy Tuesday weartesters family
Most of Nike bball shoes looks like kyries nowadays.
The first shoe was the Nike Team Hustle for kids only size
When I seen the bottom of the shoes it immediately reminded me of the Nike huarache 2008 sole with those same pods in the bottom of them
I got these based on this video and ur 💯 right love these❤❤❤❤
Christmas colorway is 50% off - can’t wait to cop 👌👌👌
I hope nike brings back the hyperdunk line
G.T. Hustle 2 "Alien" dropped yesterday. Copped me a pair on SNKRS
Looks nice. The silhouette reminds me of the Nike air zoom flight 96.
Looks like jordan Superfly 2017
These shoes remind me of the little bouncy balls at the color scheme from the quarter candy machine
I’ve always heard, “Rain on your parade.” Never heard it the way YOU said it. You west coasters are vulgar! 🤦🏽♂️ Another great vid. Thanks guys, and gal 😊
I’m getting Zoom Flight Five vibes, specifically from the collar and the track spike-ish traction.
i would love to be a tester for on court reviews !!!! literal dream
Love the Jordan 11 sole inspiration
More podcast I dont care if it tanks I’ll be listening!
The bottoms immediately remind me of the Jordan XX's and the "podulon" era!
imho, victor wembanyama should re-consider what steph curry did for UA and Klay Thompson with Anta. There is a french owned sporting brand/fashion company which i like, its a classic actually. The brand is Le Coq Sportif ... who knows
out of all the BB shoes Ive seen these are dope....i would play in them
Maybe a helpful insight. Tried to use the Move insoles on these and similar ones like the KDs and they feel weird. Like a bit of rocking motion. Just a tip for someone who’s planning to do so.

I wouldn't recommend replacing nikes insoles on zoom strobel the plastic on the moves can pop it
I'm getting 90's Air Trainer vibes....which for a cross training shoe makes sense 😊
You mentioned Steve Nash, was thinking those Jets had crazy court feel remember didn't like that about them years ago
To assess whether a shoe is original, matching the UPC code is sufficient
those midsoles looks exactly like the Jordan Superfly 2017! along with Blake Griffin's JB PE shoe. although it didnt have zoom but instead it was the firmer react type of foam that was too firm that took forever to break-in lol
I don’t like the look, material, nor the too low to ground court feel, however I already ordered a pair in the “Community of Hoop” off white and hyper pink colourway, since there have been some very high praise from reviewers so far
Looks like the design was borrowed from the Kyrie Infinity 8
Thinking about copping these. There is a colorway for 100€ at Bouncewear at the moment.
It looks like Jordan Superfly 2017. 😊

Blake Griffin days!
Interesting you said Steve Nash, because the sole kinda reminds me of the zoom “go low” that he wore.
Interesting model i saw it live before a couple of days. The only thing that worries me is the outsole with the circular small pods.
Looking forward to that next EVA video
Shoutout from Taiwan!
Reminds me a bit of the Nike Air Zoom Flight 96
Reminds me of the air Jordan 11's with a different top...
Wifey got it right I was watching while cleaning and doin the dishes lol.
Awesome! Way of wade 808 3 regular next plssss
I think that traction is very very close to the Huarache BB 08’ wouldn’t you agree ???
They look somewhat solid and comfortable... I'm not sure about the sole... Oh, I'm sure someone said this, but you look like Sean Kanan from Karate Kid 3 😁!!!
Can’t wait to hoop in these. 🔥
I'm calling it a beast PERIOD....so far so good! (as long as you lace them all the way for containment"
Actually there was a Nike Hustle basketball shoe. It’s a big kid/little kid basketball shoe. You can find them in the other shoe stores like Rack Room etc.

It’d have to be named GT Hustle to be considered it’s predecessor since it’s the GT Series or line of footwear.

@@WearTesters that is true, I agree. I just think they gave it a “2” since there was a Nike shoe with the “Hustle” used in its name. But again, I totally agree with you.
These give me the penny vibes CANT wait till mine get here
Please review the ASW release with the Air More Uptempo vibes
are this good for casual wear? hows the weight?
Those look cool especially the color way.
they look like a mix between the superfly 2017 and the air trainer 1s
Is it just me or do these look like a Mac attack basketball version?
What more do they offer than other full length zoom strobel shoes that cost 150 USD aka KD15???? They miss a shank plate and they still cost 200.
Do the xtep levitation 7 ..it looks so cool bro
Dope pair 👏🏾🔥
So wait there are how much in the states ? 200€ over here in France .. got the Jordan 38s for 160 and the Lebron 20s lifers for 200 .. why are these so expensive
Eyelets and nose shape is also air max 1 😊
Looks like a lowkey Air Trainer remix to me. No strap.
I'm 6 ft and 300 lbs would this be good for me?
These actually look nice
Nice Van McCoy intro
Look really nice ngl
The price is these is hefty. More than the new 38s.
where is the zion 3 when is it coming out
I would have liked the GT run if the forefoot wasn’t sitting so much higher up than the heel, no shoes should ever b made like tht.
Cool knightfall batman azrael tees.😅😁😁
Long form.. 😂😂😂 yea I like that style too.. in video.. I think that’s what I liked most about it.. while I’m painting I listened to it.. otherwise I’d just have vids on auto play
Looks like it's a Jordan 1 Shadow re-imagined for today's modern gameplay
these would work best for a tennis player.
Air Trainer SC without the straps
are these MIDs?
Does anyone else see the Jordan 11"s on the outsole and Midsole??
can u review jordan 6 low psg
90s turf crosstrainer, no? That traction is absolutely a turf pattern...
Why did they name it 2? I still can’t comprehend why
It looks like a Kyrie, probably already had the silluette and had to make it so they renamed it 😂
Am I the only one that sees some similarities with the Jordan Superfly 2017?
