The Nike Zoom GT Jump 2 “Safari” celebrates the enduring legacy of Bill Bowerman, the visionary who revolutionized athletic footwear at Nike since it was founded nearly 60 years ago. This latest iteration of the performance basketball shoe pays homage to Bowerman’s indelible impact on the world of sports and design.
Inspired by the iconic animal print that has graced numerous Nike classics, the GT Jump 2 “Safari” features a bold and eye-catching upper with the signature pattern from heel to toe. The striking design blends seamlessly with the shoe’s innovative technology, creating a perfect balance between style and functionality.
Bowerman’s influence extends beyond the visual elements, as his actual handwriting graces the tongue of the shoe, spelling out “Nike” in a personal touch that showcases the brand’s deep connection to its roots. The bright orange accents that punctuate the design serve as a nod to the vibrant colorways that have defined past Nike releases, further cementing the GT Jump 2 “Safari” as a continuation of the brand’s rich heritage.
