Nike Basketball positioned itself at the forefront of the zeitgeist this week with a strategic rollout that resonated throughout the community.

The brand opened with the official reveal of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Nike Giannis Freak 7, followed by the announcement of Sabrina Ionescu’s Nike Sabrina 3 signature shoe.

The momentum culminated in Nike’s live edition of the SNKRS Showcase Series, where over 20 upcoming releases were unveiled, spanning the Greater Than (GT) series, signature colorways, and retro silhouettes. These drops are scheduled to release between next month and early 2026.

Nike GT Series

Nike’s Greater Than collection continues to expand with several key additions. The brand new GT Future arrives in three distinct colorways: “Metallic”, “Fire”, and “Lightning”, targeting the holiday season.

The GT Cut 1 makes its return as the GT Cut 1 Retro, with updated colorways including “Volt”, “Black/Chrome”, and “White/Chrome”. The GT Cut 3 received special treatment with an animal-inspired player exclusive designed for Jordan Poole, featuring a sun-drenched aesthetic that reflects his on-court persona.

The ST Flare Collection

Launched initially as a China-exclusive streetball silhouette, the ST Flare now expands globally with “Light Wild Mango” and “Dark Smoke Grey” colorways.

The Ja Collection

The Nike Ja 3, initially showcased during Morant’s playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, prepares for its official debut this fall.

At the vanguard is the “Max Volume” colorway, which will be joined by “NY vs NY” and “EYBL” iterations, each featuring Morant’s signature “A” graffiti that creates a clever “JA” callout when combined with the lateral Swoosh.

The Giannis Collection

Succeeding its recent reveal, the Nike Giannis Freak 7 will be released in several colorways. The “Ignition” lead pair, featuring fiery orange tones, is joined by a “Live Wire” iteration dressed in pink throughout.

The design incorporates Giannis’s Euro step as its focal point, while the upper draws inspiration from traditional Greek sandals, creating a contemporary interpretation of heritage elements.

The KD Collection

With Durant’s move to the Houston Rockets, the Nike KD 18 receives Texas-themed treatments. The collection includes a skeleton-adorned “Halloween” colorway, a University of Texas-inspired “Rise” in orange and white, and a shimmering “International Blue” that nods to the classic Foamposite.

Classic Silhouettes Return

The retro collection comprises three beloved models in various colorways. The Air Foamposite Pro will be released in four colorways over the next nine months: “Pearl”, “Pine Green”, “Black/Varsity Red”, and “Black/Dark Smoke Grey”.

The Air Flightposite appears in iridescent “Midnight Navy” and fall-ready “Baroque Brown” colorways. The lineup concludes with Kevin Durant’s KD 4 returning in its original “Texas Longhorns” orange and white colorway, celebrating his collegiate roots.
