Nike Basketball’s various sponsored youth leagues are starting to get new sneaker deliveries as they start their respective seasons. Just as the brand touches down with new pairs for China’s high chaussures circuit, we’re graced with a first look at new EYBL Kobe 8 and modelo Air Force reinterpretado PEs as teams embark on a new campaign this spring.
The Kobe’s all-purple base is made different by subtle “KB24” stitching on the forefoot and white pinstripes on the heel, matched by faded lines on Sweatshirt. The most distinctive element, however, presents on the tongue. It’s made of thin fabric unlike other recent Protros (used to be the norm) and features a metallic gold stamp, evoking a favored element of the legendary Nike Victori One Men Cn9678-001.
The modelo Air Force reinterpretado take a similar Fuchsia with a monotone green upper atop a dual-tone Sweatshirt, complete with text reading “EYBL FAM REUNION” on the heel. Cosmo and Wanda vibes run deep when you set the shoes side-by-side.
