The toe doesn’t look to have great durability, looks almost like the cage 3, I hope they beefed up the upper!

Really? So they basically are floating it in our faces but denying giving it to us lol.

It is weird as the release date for that color was listed as 7/1. But I do know Nike moved a boatload of Air Jordan releases back several weeks to several months due to the pandemic. I'm sure these got pushed back as well.

I wonder why the women's are in stock and the men's won't arrive for 7 weeks

Probably some sort of supply chain issue. Even NDC didn't post a men's version today but has stock of 6.5 - 10 sizes on the women's side

I agree. Sounds like they are finally putting proper cushioning in the midfoot and under the metatarsals.

You got access to NDC? Are you talking the retailer’s NDC or the one us normal people use?

What is the one that “us normal people use”?

That's just retail Nike Dot Com. I haven't talked to my friends with nike.net (or whatever it's called) accounts recently about the GP.

I figured it was Nike Dot Com. I was about to ask: “You don’t know what NDC stands for?”

I’ve always wondered what it’s deep, dark secrets are... what releases are waiting to be shown to the public. I imagine @Babolast has access lol.

No secret honestly. Just buy in bulk and sell them at retail price. Obviously you get catalogs to see the line ups for the coming months and the following year.

This is an amazing update to the zoom zero. In one update they've solved pretty much every problem that shoe had.
- They've widened it
- better, more breathable upper.
- better midsole containment
- even better cushioning
- way better cosmetics.
All the colourways so far look great.
My only concern from a cosmetic standpoint is the overly geometric shape of that lateral container that wraps up over the midsole.
Other than that, it's a great shoe. I kind of feel sorry for people who stocked up on the original zoom zeros, this is just a much, much better shoe.

I really need to try it. It looks to have a similar rubber toe style similar to the cage 3, I’m worried about toe durability. But that midsole...
it looks to be a possible gel res alternative for cushioning.

Interesting you mention the cage. I originally thought the GP was meant to be a more breathable version of the cage 4 with a possible react midsole. Turns out it was a ZZ upgrade with double-stacked zoom
Agree, the toe drag issue is an interesting one. Almost impossible to tell how much protection there is until the shoe is in hand and being tested but it looks a bit skint. Nike has done weird things with not protecting from toe drag in other recent tennis shoes (didn't like the way they put those faceted TPU bits on the vapor x knit).
I just stocked up on vapor X's for clay, and Fresh foam LAVs for HC (these are my two favourites since returning to tennis from quarantine), but there are a couple of the Turbo GP colourways that will be a must-buy for me as soon as they get released.

I remember the issues I’ve had with the cage 3, especially toe dragging. Nike fixed it with the 4 but the GP has possibly worse protection than the 3. But I’ll pick it up when they go retail and (hopefully) they work out.Interesting you mention the cage.

I am going to get a pair to see how they compare to my basketball shoes. I had the Zoom Zero but it lacked responsiveness and felt clunky with the heal part sticking out.
Yes, I think so, but some other stores have written that the green swoosh version is both male and female...

Anyone know if there are any Dark colorways coming out in the near future?

There's a black/volt/blue combo that's part of Holiday 2020

There is also a white/laser fushcia-sapphire-hot lime that is Agassi inspired. Reminds some of the "What the Rafa" Cage 3 shroud with the colors all mixed in. Looks great in the book!
I take it there will be some laser fuchsia or hot lime clothes around the same time?

Got a pair on order coming! But I'm apprehensive because of the "snug medium" description on the width fit from TW's description page. I liked the Zoom Zeros, but was disappointed that the airbags popped in two of my pairs. I hope durability of the Zoom Air has been addressed.

That shoe colorway will go with the Agassi Challenge Court collection. It’s obviously intended to go with it since it’s releasing the same day.

You bet there is! His entire '90 US Open attire including the shorts/spandex and loose fit flaming ball shirt. Plus Challenge Court t-shirts, hats, a bucket hat and warmup all retroed. It's gonna be an EXPENSIVE month for sure!!

Yeah the zip polo and jorts are definitely on my must buy list.

The big *** swoosh on the toe stops me from caring about this shoe. And that's good news cause I really don't need more tennis shoes for a while.

Just wait until you see the US Open color coming August 1st. So freaking cool! The swoosh doesn't stick out as much. Plus you got the flaming ball logo too on it.

I know this is the current style, but these shoes come dangerously close to looking like “dad” shoes. Kinda clunky looking.

I think they look like the Nike Pegasus, they are almost a running shoe with a hard court outsole.

Toe looks "low" to me, and as I have issues with losing big toenails, I suspect I should stock up on the Zoom Zero before they are gone. Hopefully, someone will review the fit and that won't be the case.

Yup. I'd post a pic but I know the mods don't appreciate it so I won't. The color is listed as White/Laser Fushcia-Sapphire-Hot Lime. Basically think ATC III above with the Cerise (red) color from the ATC IV clothing. And a small flaming ball logo just in front of the Swoosh. The inside toe piece is Hot Lime. It's gonna be AWESOME!! It's a 1st day purchase for me, once I know what the sizing is like (tts or half up). Gotta wait a few weeks to see it.
