Nike G.T. Cut 2 Women's Basketball Shoes (FQ8706-300, Jade Ice/Black/Mineral/Pale Ivory) Size 6

Arike Ogunbowale has been to the apex of the basketball world, but she’s never forgotten where she came from. For all the cold-blooded daggers, viral game-winners and eye-popping accolades, home is where her heart is. This special G.T. Cut 2 (drenched in Arike’s favorite shade of orange) pays homage to her hometown, the community that built her and the family that raised her.

• Arike’s success is rooted in family and the foundation they built growing up in Milwaukee. Check out the city’s skyline along the outsole and “just a kid from Milwaukee” on the hangtag along with her signature, odes to community connection that runs deep.
• The upper is inspired by a butterfly with an inner cage that’s built into the lining underneath. It helps reduce the weight of the shoe to help you take off in an instant.
• As you’re hitting that sharp cut, the smear traction helps you briefly stick to the ground while the other directional traction helps you dig your toe in and toe out of it. The hollow herringbone pattern helps you stop quicker.
• Lacing directly through the webbing loops add forefoot support. Breathable material in the lightweight upper provides a comfortable fit. Stiff clip around the heel helps secure your foot over the cushioning. Molded tongue extends to the toe area and expands for comfort.
