Ballin’ on a Budget: The Nike GT Cut Academy 2 debuts for just $95

Built for all positions and all playing surfaces, the GT Cut Academy 2 features Air Zoom cushioning in the forefoot, herringbone traction underfoot and a sleek, low profile that matches what today’s players lean towards.

While the first Academy model borrowed heavily from the GT Cut 2, this sequel more predictably draws inspiration from the GT Cut 3. Durable mesh constructs the heel and medial side, while a separate ventilated panel extends outward from the forefoot for added breathability.

The Nike GT Cut Academy 2 is available now in black/white for just $95, with a number of additional clean, team-friendly options to follow in the coming weeks/months. Check out the upcoming styles below, along with purchase links to Nike.com.
