Jewell Loyd's Autism Awareness Kicks: Sold Out and Serving Purpose

If you were sleeping on Jewell Loyd's Nike GT Cut 3's, you might be kicking yourself right about now. These autism awareness stunners flew off the shelves faster than The Gold Mamba’s crossover, and now they're hotter than fish grease on the resale market.

Jewell Loyd's Nike GT Cut 3 shoes are a heartfelt tribute to autism awareness, inspired by Justice Swann, the autistic son of Loyd's best friend. These sneakers, which feature vibrant designs of smiley faces, flames, and lightning bolts, reflect Justice's love for drawing and creativity. The shoes were designed with input from Justice and his sister Sloan, making them a unique and personal project.

Released on May 15, 2024, for $190, these shoes quickly sold out and are now highly sought after on the resale market. Part of the proceeds from the original sales went to the Little Boy Blue Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families with autistic children. This collaboration not only highlights Jewell Loyd's star power but also her commitment to making a positive impact off the court.

So if you managed to snag a pair, congratulations! You're not just rocking some exclusive heat, you're wearing a piece of a movement. This sellout isn't just a win for Jewell and Nike - it's a win for autism awareness. It shows that when we combine fly kicks with a powerful message, people will show up and show out.

Jewell Loyd just proved that she can sell out shoes as quickly as she sells out arenas. That's how you use your star power to make a real difference, on and off the court!
