Nike Air Zoom GT Cut 4 "Preheat" IQ6206-500
The Nike Air Zoom GT Cut 4 “Preheat” signals where modern basketball footwear is heading. First spotted on-court during the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, worn by Paige Bueckers, this colourway introduced the next phase of the GT Cut line. Fast. Reactive. Built for players who live off sharp movement and constant pressure.
This model builds directly from the GT Cut 3, keeping what worked and refining the rest. ZoomX returns as the headline cushioning, now sitting closer to the floor for improved court feel. You feel quicker on take-off. More stable on hard stops. A full-length Air Zoom Strobel adds spring underfoot, while layers of RBR-X foam and a Cushlon carrier balance comfort with control. It’s responsive without feeling harsh.
The upper leans into a futuristic look, especially on the “Preheat” edition. A lenticular finish wraps the side panels, shifting with light and movement. The Swoosh stretches across both medial and lateral sides, blending into the structure rather than sitting on top. It looks fast. And it plays that way.
Support stays locked in through the midfoot, helping with sudden cuts and lateral bursts. The outsole grips hard on clean courts, ideal for guards and quick forwards who rely on footwork rather than size.
