This seems like it was supposed to be the Kyrie Flytrap, but when they eliminated the Kyrie line they decided to rebrand it and release it under the GT banner since they had already developed it.

I agree with Mrs. wing 100% the academy is meant to onboard people that are apprehensive of the Cut 3s (or any expensive hoop shoe really) but that’s not necessarily bad because I also recognize that the Cut 3 would likely be the better overall shoe for me when they’re on a very good sale at least 😂

So is this the new Air Max Impact? $95 shoe with a comparable setup than a lot of mid-tier signatures? Also interesting is that it uses the same Zoom bag as the Gianni 5 and Ja 1, but just vertical. I'd be interested to know the margins for Nike on the single rectangle bag vs the heel Air Max in the impact, because with Nike cost-cutting and downgrading the tech for shoes this year, this might be the better money maker than the Impact 4. Regardless, I think that this might a great pair of everydays too, as well as a good out door/shootaround pair.

Nike has been using “academy” in their soccer cleats for a while. There’s the “Elite” with top tier materials that athletes wear, “Pro” that a slight take down in upper materials, then the “academy” with cheapest materials used. Not familiar with the cushioning, but I’d assume there’s slight differences

I like these, i think the zoom placement is a miss but i like that they went the soccer way. Nike soccer line is like the top end model and all the takedowns are the same thing but with lesser materials and price instead of being a completely different shoe just cheaper (ie lebron-soilder[rip]-witness/ambasador, kd-trey5, freak-inmortality, kyrie-low-flytrap[rip], etc). Also the 80$ soccer shoes are also called the “academy” tier (elite>pro>academy).

This was such an disheartening thing to hear TT... I was thinking about buying the GT cut 3s. Now I don't know if I should go for them or not. I hated playing in the LeBron NXXT gens because of the hard phylon midsole (even with zoom air on both forefoot and the heel it's still not soft after a year of playing in them) and mediocre traction on dust, I had to wipe every 30 seconds... In addition to not supportive enough upper which made my foot fall off the footbed on hard cuts. I wonder if buying the GT cut 3s will help me resolve that issue...
