They also announced the upcoming release of the Nike Sabrina 3, Sabrina Ionescu’s latest signature shoe. And to top it all off, they hosted their own live edition of the SNKRS Showcase Series, revealing over 20 upcoming shoes, including new entries in the Greater Than (GT) series, signature shoe colorways, and retro looks.
The GT Series Collection: A Must-Have for Sneakerheads
First up is the GT Series Collection, featuring a range of new releases that are sure to excite sneakerheads. The brand new GT Future will be available in three colorways – “Metallic,” “Fire,” and “Lightning” – just in time for the holiday season. And for fans of the GT Cut series, the GT Cut 1 is making a comeback as the GT Cut 1 Retro, with color options including “Volt,” “Black/Chrome,” and “White/Chrome.” The GT Cut 3, the most recent entry in the series, will also be getting a new look with an animal-inspired PE from Jordan Poole.
