Our verdict
The Nike Air Zoom GT Jump really lives up to expectations. Heavier men who love lots of impact protection and bounce are happy with this one. Guards and smaller players may benefit more from other models in the GT series: the Run and the Cut.

Given the amount of cushioning that this shoe has, it's quite clear that it is made for players who are heavier and in need of a lot of impact protection. As its name suggests, this shoe is great for players who do a lot of jumping movements such as rebounds and blocks.
Who should NOT buy this basketball shoe from Nike
The Air Zoom GT Jump won't be as effective for the following players:
- Nimble guards who value court feel, they are better off with the other GT variants or Nike's signature offers such as Nike KD 14.
- Outdoor players who might be distracted by the exposed Zoom units; they should get the Kyrie 7 instead.
Nike Air Zoom GT Jump means bounce. Period.

It feels like a synergistic combination of the cushioning systems of the Nike LeBron 19 and the Nike Air Jordan 1 High OG Pollen 29.5cm.

Because of the thick cushioning system, the shoe sits high off the ground. This effectively sacrifices the wearer's feel of the ground.
Grip was dependable with or without dust.
Though it's always better to play on cleaner courts, it must be noted that the Air Zoom GT Jump did not falter on dusty surfaces.
Upper? You bet it's sturdy!
The materials that make up the upper may be thin, but they sure are resistant to abrasion. Even after Hotline stepped on several times, they still don't show serious signs of wear and tear.
These materials also provide the much-needed response, especially during aggressive cuts and side steps.
The Nike Air Zoom GT Jump locks down the foot securely
The support features in this shoe work as they should. For example, the wide base keeps rides stable. Also, the cushion that comes up the sides cages the foot in.
The GT Jump needs some getting used to
This Nike shoe, particularly the Jump Frame in the rear area, has to be broken in. It doesn't take long to break this one in though.
This shoe delivers comfort all around
The upper materials are lined with fabric underneath to ensure next-to-skin comfort. The soft cushion also ensures underfoot goodness.

The Nike Air Zoom GT Jump is expensive, so you might want to rethink subjecting it to the harshness of the outdoors. While the actual outsole is durable, the shoe's Zoom units are also exposed; been it indoors is actually a necessary precaution.
