More Info: Nike Release Dates
Nike’s GT Cut line is evolving with this fourth iteration, blending advanced court feel with bold style. The “Preheat” colorway pairs iridescent tones with sleek sculpted design cues, giving the GT Cut 4 a standout look. This marks the first colorway to be released, debuting in February 2026.
The “Preheat” Nike GT Cut 4 features an upper that shifts between Persian Violet, Glacier Blue, and Chrome hues for a metallic, almost liquid-like finish. The shoe features a ZoomX 3.0 midsole, a Zoom Strobel unit, RBR-X foam, and a Cushlon carrier to deliver responsive cushioning and stability tailored for quick cuts and agile play.
Performance elements like molded ventilation “gills,” a low-profile fit, and an exoskeleton-style upper work together to enhance containment and court feel without weighing the shoe down. The sculpted, futuristic lines give the pair an aggressive look, while a partially translucent outsole and premium packaging, including an iridescent shoebox and a special dust bag completes the look.

Frequently Asked Questions
While the “Preheat” colorway serves as the debut launch, it is not expected to be extremely limited. However, early colorways in the GT Cut line tend to sell out quickly.
The GT Cut 4 is designed mainly for indoor play. Outdoor use is possible, but frequent outdoor wear may cause faster outsole wear.
