Might be the 1st review I've seen who thinks the ZoomX isn't PERFECT. That includes a buddy of mine who plays overseas in Germany who's been wearing these in games since November. The traction and cushioning he said is 10x better than the GT Cut 2 and might be one of the best on court performers he's worn in years.
You forgot to notice the BEASTLY forefoot shank they put on. That’s essentially a huge upgrade especially for hoopers who need more bounce that the previous 2 gt cuts were lacking.
I've started hooping in mine recently, and so far so good! I think Adam's Sneakers channel said it best: You won't feel the cushioning as much as until you're in motion. Been quite surprised by the impact protection with the balanced feel of court feel and am excited to play in them even further!
Nike needs to learn from Li Ning/WoW lines to properly utilize their top foam technologies. I loved my nike alphafly zoom x foam. Never needed a break in. Hopefully it improves for you during break in.
Marketing wise it wouldnt be good. Cause the gt cut 1 was supposed to be the replacement for kobes until they met agreement with mamba’s team thats why they never making a shoe that would replace kobe or atleast that’s too close to a kobe because the Kobe line (which is Nike’s most popular and most sought after shoe today) would basically lessen it’s value. You should have noticed it how the gt cut 2 kinda went away from the gt cut 1 specs
For the Cut 3, they should’ve just left the cushioning alone of the Cut 2 and simply made the React midsole/insole thinner and more firm. That would fixed the heel slippage (sit lower in the shoe) while still retaining the cushioning they were going for.
@@Zackuragi10 and even then they replaced the carbon fiber there with a plastic shank 🤦♂️ it might work the same but you can definitely see that they’re cost cutting in certain areas
@@MJKeem_ no, have you not been watching what they've done to the other shoes? Price hike for zoom strobel in the 38s, removal of that in the cosmic unities and KDs with corresponding downgrades to the drop in midsole and zoom setup respectively, etc. Much less about the GT Cut 3, but an assessment across the board. This one's a bit disappointing as well, wish they went back to the zoom strobel and react drop-in.
Honestly I’d rather play in Sabrina’s with the way the GT Cut 3s are the way they are now but that opinion may change once I actually play in them and they break in
Hooped in these today. I totally love em. This the first time I have walked off the court without my legs and feet hurting.
Yea they're trippin and I'm glad I didn't listen! This shoe is topnotch, and zoomx feels amazing! Very light show too!

Definitely isn’t perfect. Hopefully I have the same experience on court as your buddy really looking forward to taking these out for a spin
many reviewers say that theyre not perfect.
I've been playing in mine and these are top tier performers!

I did notice just didn’t mention it. Was planning on going over it in my performance review

this dude probably haven't tried zoomx before. i'm wondering how his play style is, because zoomx focused on energy return.

They can take a thing or two from those brands for sure. Really hoping it breaks and feels much better tho
Would be better if they stopped GT Cut line for this year and just release new CW of GT Cut 1 with the GTCut 2 Insole.

Honestly wouldn’t mind if they dropped some more pairs of the 1s
What do you call on that thing behind you that make the shoe float?

Agreed, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. This honestly feels like a downgrade cushion wise with the GT Cut 3
We’re four days in buddy
🤣
I don't know if I'll get one of these. I just got a Asics Unpre Ars 2 so budget wise 😅. Maybe I'll buy a second-hand or wait for a sale.
Good idea
I can’t trust a reviewer who still has one of those magnetic shoe displays from 2014.
😂😂😂
Stupid review. I have mine and they're the best. Little to less break in time. More responsive, bouncy and cushioning is just right.
TTS?
I'm pretty sure that the gt cut 3s become better after break in time
I hope so
@@Zackuragi10 Hey man, do you have any updates on how the shoe is doing?
@@dan_tas they’re much better after break in
@@Zackuragi10 I'm happy to hear this, thank you. Going to buy them as soon as they're avaible globally
i heard court feel is just average.. @@Zackuragi10
I trust this man’s judgement

yoo, what's that device in the back! perfect for showing off the newest pair! that's so cool
It’s called a magnetic shoe stand!
Really disappointed with nike’s 2023 product line, cushion downgrades across the board 😢😢 no wonder people only want to play in Kobes
Yeah I noticed that too, only shoe that stayed consistent with the cushion was the LeBron 21

@@davidmartynvinluan4810 absolutely man
and you are basing that off a "first impressions" video where the dude pretty much only talks about step-in comfort?

so we'd rather play in sabrina's if they downgraded the cushion on these?

@@Zackuragi10 yeah looking forward on your after hours of play review on these🙏
Good no hype wanted on the 3s keep sharing
fission 9 review?
Hopefully coming soon!
Theyre built with cheap materials since theyll probably be discounted in 3 months. Nice design though.
*These are not the most disappointing tennis shoes. Believe me, I have tried worse ones and many worse ones."*
I hate inflation…$190?! Smh
It’s ridiculous…
$190 for this!?! These srent even close to looking as good as the gt cut 1
I know right, the GT Cut 1 is undefeated
These aint touching the gt cut 2 at all
2s sucked
not paying $190 for these for sure
Yeah that’s a lot I don’t blame you, lots of other great performers for much cheaper
Really looking forward to that J Kidd colourway
that's my fav colourway so far
First
Let’s gooooo
