Nike is gearing up to close out the year with a bold statement. Introducing the Nike GT Future “Copper Egg”, a brand-new silhouette under the “Greater Than” series, scheduled to drop during Holiday 2025. First seen on the feet of rapper and sneaker aficionado Wale during NBA All-Star Weekend 2025, this eye-catching design fuses retro inspiration with a future-forward edge.

A Glimpse into the Future with a Nod to the Past

The GT Future “Copper Egg” is more than just another lifestyle sneaker — it’s a tribute to the golden era of early 2000s basketball sneakers. Nike draws inspiration from iconic models like the Air Foamposite One and the Zoom Hyperflight, both of which were known for their sculpted uppers and bold aesthetics. The GT Future channels that same energy through a one-piece molded upper dressed in a shimmering copper-to-rose metallic finish, earning the sneaker its fitting “Copper Egg” nickname.

Design Details: Sculpted and Striking

The upper boasts a smooth, wavy shell that mimics liquid metal, complete with black foam lining, a minimal lace setup, and bold mini Swoosh branding on both sides. Strategic perforations on the medial side not only provide ventilation but echo the futuristic design language of the Hyperflight. The foam collar and asymmetrical mid-cut silhouette offer both comfort and a lockdown feel.

The sole unit continues the innovation with a streamlined midsole and full-length Zoom cushioning, likely engineered for both on-court performance and off-court comfort. A black rubber outsole grounds the dramatic upper with durability and contrast.
