Dylan Harper and Nike channel Bataan sunrise in Air Zoom GT Cut EP

Nike and TITAN turned Dylan Harper’s Filipino heritage into something you can see on court. The Air Zoom G.T. Cut EP “Daybreak” uses a Bataan sunrise as its color story, then folds in the deeper idea that Harper’s rise is shaped by humility, resilience, and an unrelenting drive to succeed.

The shoe lands as the first colorway in the “DUSK 2 DAWN” series, and the design does the storytelling without getting precious about it. Nike gave the pair a light blue upper for early-morning skies, then pushed soft yellow-to-orange gradients across the Swoosh and tongue to echo the first light over Bataan. A red-to-blue midsole fade nods to the Philippine flag, while the brushed silver heel detail adds a steel-like finish that reads as grit rather than gloss.

TITAN lists the model as the Nike Air Zoom G.T. Cut EP x TITAN x Dylan Harper “Daybreak,” style code IU0780-400, priced at 11,495.00. The Filipino retailer has set the official launch for June 17, 2026, with early pickup tied to its official media launch on June 13 and reserved orders scheduled to begin fulfillment on June 17. Cebu launch products are due June 24, giving the drop a staggered rollout that should keep demand tight in the Philippines before the wider audience gets a shot.

That broader release matters, because this is not just a decorative team-up. Retail coverage has the shoe arriving June 20 through Nike.com and select retailers, with a $200 price tag in the U.S., which puts it squarely in the performance-basketball lane rather than the casual lifestyle bracket. The premium feels justified by the specificity of the execution: this is a real player shoe with a cultural thesis, not a lazy print-and-go colorway.

Nike has also already been building Harper as more than a promising name on a roster. A separate G.T. Cut 4 Dylan Harper shoe on Nike’s site leans into his downhill, relentless style with a rose-gold look and signature logo, which makes “Daybreak” feel like part of a deliberate signature arc. Add the recent spotlight on Harper and Jordan Clarkson as the first Filipino-Americans to face each other on basketball’s biggest stage, and the collaboration carries a sharper edge: this is heritage branding that actually lands because the product, the athlete, and the symbolism are all pulling in the same direction.
