Dylan Harper x TITAN x Nike Air Zoom G.T. Cut 1 “Bleached Aqua” (IU0779-400)

The Dylan Harper x TITAN x Nike Air Zoom G.T. Cut 1 “Bleached Aqua” opens the collaborative DUSK 2 DAWN series with a colorway known as “Daybreak.” Its design draws inspiration from the calm early-morning sky over Bataan, the Philippine province connected to Harper through his mother.

Bleached Aqua covers the lightweight upper, while gradients shifting from light yellow to pale orange appear across the Swoosh and tongue to represent the first light of sunrise. A red-to-blue fade through the midsole offers a subtle interpretation of the Philippine flag, while a Brushed Silver heel detail symbolizes steel, resilience and the work behind Harper’s rise.

Performance remains central to the design. A full-length React drop-in midsole is positioned above a parabolic Air Zoom Strobel unit, while an additional Zoom Air unit in the heel provides responsive impact protection. Reinforced layered mesh, a structured heel clip and a low-to-the-ground platform support quick cuts and controlled lateral movement.

Design Story

The “Daybreak” colorway represents the beginning of Dylan Harper’s DUSK 2 DAWN journey. Its Bleached Aqua upper reflects the calm sky before sunrise, while the warm Swoosh and tongue gradients represent the first morning light over Bataan.

Bataan is the Philippine hometown associated with Harper’s mother. The design connects his basketball journey with the Filipino values of humility, resilience and an unrelenting drive to succeed.

The Brushed Silver heel represents steel and the resilience developed throughout Harper’s career. Red and blue midsole accents reference the colors of the Philippine flag without reproducing it literally.

Styling Guide

On court, pair the Bleached Aqua GT Cut with white, navy, red or black basketball apparel. Its multicolor accents coordinate especially well with Philippine-inspired jerseys and neutral performance sets.

For casual styling, combine it with relaxed black cargo trousers, technical pants or washed denim. Keep the rest of the outfit neutral to let the Bleached Aqua upper, sunrise gradients and Metallic Silver heel remain the focal point.

Care Instructions

• Remove loose court dust with a clean, soft brush.

• Spot-clean the textile upper using mild soap and cool water.

• Wipe synthetic and Metallic Silver sections gently with a damp cloth.

• Remove the React drop-in midsole before deeper spot-cleaning.

• Do not soak or machine-wash the shoes.

• Avoid bleach, alcohol and aggressive chemical cleaners.

• Allow the shoes and drop-in midsoles to dry naturally.

• Keep away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight.

• Clean the rubber outsole regularly to maintain traction.

• Allow the shoes to air out fully between basketball sessions.

• Store in a cool, dry and ventilated location.
