Nike Air Zoom GT Jump Review
Pros:
The tech works well together for performance
Jump frame is as good as advertised
Cons:
A bit on the heavier side
Performance of the Nike Air Zoom GT Jump:
The final release in Nike's GT series, the GT Jump, manages to find a way to make all of the tech Nike threw in it work well together.
The traction gripped all the different surfaces that reviewers tested it on while still keeping up with the cushioning.
When it comes to cushioning, if you're a fan of Nike Zoom, you're going to love these. It's bouncy, provides ample impact protection, and is very fast to play in.
Nike uses Jumpwire combined with synthetics and meshes to keep the shoe breathable without compromising performance.
Most reviewers also agree that the Jumpframe is a standout aspect of the shoe. It helps secure the foot so that the player doesn't feel unstable on top of the cushioning.
Although the wait was long, the Nike Air Zoom GT Jump delivers, and it's one of the best shoes to come out this year.

Pros: Fits for my feet perfectly, amazing cushioning set up and support, great ventilation
Cons: A bit heavy, limiting lateral movement, visible Zoom bags and penetrated outsole = clean indoor courts only.
Good for 4-5s who love cushions and protection
