Nike GT Cut 4 “Year of the Horse” Releases February 2026

The Nike GT Cut 4 “Year of the Horse” will be released on February 16, 2026. This Lunar New Year‑themed pair gives the GT Cut 4 silhouette a clean, sophisticated twist tied to the Year of the Horse, and it’s doing it without leaning on loud graphics or typical festive clichés. The retail price is $220.

Whenever Nike approaches a Lunar New Year release, the first thought is usually loud reds, dragon prints, or obvious zodiac motifs. This time around, Nike took a quieter route. Instead of obvious symbols plastered on the shoe, the GT Cut 4 “Year of the Horse” leans into subtle luxury and refined material play. While toned down, the shoes will feature minimal Red and Gold accents and details connected to CNY.

This Nike GT Cut 4 rolls out in a White, Metallic Gold, Vast Grey, and Light Chocolate color theme. The molded white upper has a fluid, ribbed texture that gives motion to what could otherwise be a plain surface. Light Chocolate accents around the midfoot introduce warm and natural contrast.

But the moment that really grabs your attention is the Metallic Gold midsole. The rich gold wraps the high‑performance cushioning in a way that feels premium. Underneath, a semi‑translucent icy outsole reveals a black Swoosh. Additionally, where the zodiac inspiration hits most directly is at the heel. Nike went with a refined Gold horseshoe emblem paired with the Chinese character for “horse.”

Under the hood, the GT Cut 4 carries the same performance foundation that’s earned it attention over other modern hoops silhouettes. Featuring a low‑to‑the‑ground feel, responsive cushioning, traction designed for quick cuts, and that sleek fit Nike built the series around.
