Nike Zoom GT Cut 3 “Christmas” features pockets of snow glitter

Could we be entering a new golden age of Nike Basketball? Given the heights the sub-brand reached in the 90s and 2010s, we’ll hold off on doing this until we get some really strong signals. Nevertheless, as evidenced by the sub-brand’s Halloween 2025 offering, Beaverton is clearly focused on restoring the energy that devotees last felt severely with coveted capsules like the ‘Galaxy’.

While not mentioned as often in discussions of “remember a pair of shoes” style, the Nike Basketball Christmas Collection also gave way to some of the most enduring pairs of the era, including the bronzed KD 4 or the infamous Kobe 6 “Grinch.” Although we’ve only gotten a few glimpses so far, 2025 is already looking promising as the Ja 3 “Christmas” is followed up with the Nike Zoom GT Cut 3 of the same name.

Delivering the same bold green/red gradient seen in Morant’s signature, atop a neutral-toned base, textured mesh in the upper that gives way to darker tones toward the midsole helps create the “snow” concept that illuminates this design. However, you have to look at the finer details to see the best execution. A jewel badge with glitter in it sits on the tongue, evoking a ‘Snow Globe’ concept for the pitch.

The Nike Zoom GT Cut 3 “Christmas” is expected to arrive in December 2025 and will retail for $200. We’ll keep this page and our Sneaker Release Dates hub updated with all updates as they come.
