Nike Air Zoom G.T. Cut 2 Review
Pros:
Plush and bouncy cushioning
Drop-in midsole offers a lot of support
Cons:
Not the most durable materials
Performance of the Nike Air Zoom G.T. Cut 2:
The second installment in the G.T. Cut lineup features solid traction, but a break-in time is needed. It also isn't as good as the original.
Cushioning for the shoe continues to offer some of the best bounce and impact protection. The drop-in midsole also features an improved liner for extra grip.
The material used on the shoe makes it feel lighter, but some reviewers mentioned missing the plastic side wall previously on the lateral side.
Players that enjoy a snug fit will enjoy the fit on the G.T. Cut 2.
There's a lack of torsional stability, but the rest of the support and lockdown features perform well.
The Nike Air Zoom G.T. Cut 2 is a solid performer with fantastic cushioning.

The Nike G.T Cut 2 is perfect for players who perform a lot of twists and turns while driving to the rim. The cushioning is an improvement, but the traction takes a minor step back.

The Nike Air Zoom G.T. Cut 2 is a solid performer in all aspects. The traction isn't top-tier, and the cushioning is high off the ground, so the shoe isn't elite. It's still a fun shoe to play in, though.

User of J36's mids/lows and Zion 2. Never played in the 1's. I would say that these are very good for shifty players. As long as you're not playing on a trash court, these grip hard to provide that confidence you need in your game.
I think a lot of the reason people don't like this shoe is because it takes a long time to break in. I would recommend getting the shoe a little tight, then as the forefoot bottoms out you will get an amazing shoe.

Grip, reaction, and response are fantastic. It's a bit higher of a ride which I normally don't like, but these are an exception. First couple times playing, the comfort is pretty mediocre in the bed of the foot, but the materials compliment that with great flexibility.

The React insole is thicker, which makes you sit higher within the shoe. It takes away from quickness but offers impact protection.
