Nike Unveils GT Future & GT Cut 1 EYBL PEs
Peach Jam receives exclusive Nike Basketball pairs.ByAaron ShamimJul 31, 2026

Nike Basketball is giving the nation's top high school players another exclusive sneaker collection for this year's EYBL Peach Jam. Leading the pack is the first-ever Nike GT Future Player Exclusive created specifically for the Elite Youth Basketball League, joined by a matching GT Cut 1 PE. Designed exclusively for EYBL athletes, both sneakers showcase vibrant gradient colorways inspired by the tournament's Peach Jam identity.
The GT Future debuts in a striking peach-orange finish that gradually fades into bright yellow around the heel, creating a fiery gradient reminiscent of a summer sunset. Metallic Silver Swooshes stand out on both sides of the molded upper, while black laces provide contrast against the vibrant shell. Although the color palette shares similarities with the previously revealed 'Fire' edition, the softer gradient gives the EYBL exclusive its own distinctive identity.
The GT Cut 1 follows the same visual theme, pairing peach-colored mesh and synthetic overlays with bold red TPU eyelet supports. Black accents appear throughout the unfinished lateral Swoosh, tongue lining, sockliner, heel tab, and EYBL branding, while a black midsole anchors the bright upper. A matching peach-to-yellow fade ties the two silhouettes together as part of the exclusive collection.

For years, Nike's EYBL Player Exclusives have become some of the most coveted basketball sneakers in the game. Reserved exclusively for elite high school athletes competing on the Nike circuit, these limited releases rarely make it into the hands of the public, often becoming highly sought-after collector's items after the tournament concludes.
The introduction of an EYBL-exclusive GT Future also signals Nike Basketball's continued commitment to expanding the GT franchise with premium player-exclusive designs. By pairing it with one of the line's most celebrated performance models, the GT Cut 1, Nike delivers one of the strongest Peach Jam collections in recent memory.
The Nike GT Future EYBL and Nike GT Cut 1 EYBL Player Exclusives are expected to remain exclusive to Nike EYBL athletes. Nike has not announced any plans for a public retail release.
