Sabrina Ionescu and De'Aaron Fox are helping to unveil Nike's new "Greater Than Series."

The New York Liberty and Sacramento Kings stars will be featured as the headliners of the first sneaker in the series, the Air Zoom G.T. Cut, throughout 2021, according to Nick DePaula of The Undefeated. Ionescu was involved with shaping the design of the shoe dating back to her senior year at Oregon.

"Being the headliner for the GT Cut is an honor because of how much insight I've been giving on the shoes they've been creating," Ionescu said. "Also, just the learning process to figure out what I like, what helps me as a basketball player, and what's going to help other people that are looking to find a shoe as well."

Ionescu and Fox will debut the G.T. Cut in the launch colorways and their own player-exclusive versions. Ionescu plans to continue honoring the late Kobe Bryant too.

"I'll definitely still be wearing some Kobes at times as well," she said. "That's something that I really respect of Nike, being able to understand that I still want to rock those and pay tribute to him and Gigi with the shoes that I wear."

The G.T. Cut will release in late April across North America, followed by the Air Zoom G.T. Run in the summer and the Air Zoom G.T. Jump later this year.
