With a quick first step and lively movements, the player who plays the speed card doubles down on repeated accelerations, enabling him to get to the basket quickly and leave his opponent far behind. In this case, it's important to opt for a sneaker with lightweight technology and materials, so as not to weigh down movement. Bounce, provided by energy-returning cushioning, offers all the necessary dynamism. The sneaker's traction is also important, since poor grip on the sol will reduce acceleration and speed.

1/Nike G.T. Cut
€190.00 The ultimate technological weapon for elusive sprinters
The Nike G.T. Cut is tailor-made for the expert player who relies on their speed. At this level of intensity, every millisecond counts. This technological marvel combines ultra-lightweight ZoomX 3.0 foam with full-length Nike Air cushioning to deliver unreal bounce and acceleration. Its low, agile profile keeps the foot close to sol, while the RBR-X stabilizer and generative traction enable lightning-fast changes of direction and sudden decelerations. It’s the elite choice for forwards who break through defensive lines at full speed.
