Basketball — 10/30/2023

When San Antonio Spurs No. 1 overall draft pick Victor Wembanyama steps onto an NBA floor for the league’s 2023-24 Opening Night, the entire world will be watching. He’s one of the most anticipated draft prospects in history and has already established himself as the face of the Spurs franchise. Sneakerheads may be wondering what Wembanyama will wear this season as part of his Nike contract. Nike has responded by giving Wemby his own “Spurs” Nike colorway. Keep an eye on our Sneakers news for more future releases and breaking news!

Many will recall the huge buzz around Zion Williamson’s entry in the league and which sneaker brand he would sign with. While at Duke (a Nike school), Williamson chose to sign a deal with his Tar Heel counterpart Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand. Wembanyama, on the other hand, won’t have to make such a difficult option regarding his footwear.

Victor Wembanyama wore the Nike GT Run in all of his professional games in France and loved the sneaker for its sturdy, yet responsive fit. Wembanyama is now expected to be sporting the Hustle 2, the newest addition to the Nike GT collection. Additionally, Nike will release the pair in a game-ready “Spurs” colorway designed specifically for Wembanyama.

The Nike Air Zoom GT Hustle 2 has a low-top design with extra padding around the ankles. The shoe has a slim style but carries a steady load, making it the ideal combination of comfort and performance. On the court, the Nike Zoom outsole gives optimal responsiveness and traction.

While center and power forward shoes have traditionally been high-top and hefty, this gives the ideal transition into a faster style of basketball without sacrificing any technology. These should be an excellent fit for Victor Wembanyama and his playing style.

While no official release date has been announced, they should be available in the coming months, around the start of the 2018 NBA season. They’ll cost $170 and should be available in a variety of sizes. They will be available on the Nike SNKRS App, Nike.com, and Nike shops.
