The Nike Elite Youth Baksetball League brings together top-tier traveling 17 & under basketball teams for a series of games that culminates with a tournament in July. Each of the 24 participants in that tourney will earn a contract with Nike for the following season, and if that gear is anywhere near the quality of this Nike Kobe X Beethoven, they’re in for a treat. The EYBL Hyperfuse Low manages to totally avoid a ‘Christmas’ characterization thanks to precisely chosen shades of intense red and vibrant green. The end result is far more like a watermelon, and with the icey sole as its finishing touch, maybe they’re a watermelon flavored sno-cone. A delicious summer treat for sneakerheads, the Zoom Hyperfuse Low ‘EYBL’ should hit select Nike Basketball retailers some time before the conclusion of the league finals, and you can see more images when you click on the jump below.
