Nike G.T. Future “Unseen Hours”

Of the three Unseen Hours basketball shoes Nike just unveiled, the G.T. Future might be the boldest one. The silhouette itself is a design swing, a laceless, sculpted upper that looks like a concept car for feet, and in Volt and Black it is impossible to miss. The theme behind the collection is the unseen work, the hours nobody witnesses, and the G.T. Future wears that story loud.

Underneath the wild upper there is real tech. A full-length Air Zoom Strobel gives a bouncy, responsive platform, a forefoot Air Zoom unit adds extra pop off the first step, and Cushlon 3.0 foam keeps the ride soft over a long run of games. The containment system wraps the foot without any traditional lacing structure to speak of, which sounds like madness until you feel how locked in it actually is.

The volt green body with black Swoosh and collar is pure electricity. Photos undersell it. In person the sculpted ridges on the upper catch light in a way that makes the shoe look like it is moving while standing still.

The G.T. Future Unseen Hours drops November 13 through Nike and SNKRS at $210, with the usual draw process. If you want the most futuristic looking shoe of the basketball calendar, this is it.
