Nike LeBron NXXT Gen By JuJu EYBL PE

We’ll be careful not to jump the gun, but one of the biggest questions facing the sneaker world is how Nike will handle LeBron James’ footwear line whenever he decides to retire. The brand’s recent work with the LeBron NXXT Gen series and USC star JuJu Watkins may offer an early clue. Nike has used LeBron’s non-numbered line as an incubator for one of basketball’s brightest young talents, producing co-designed releases that sit somewhere between a traditional player exclusive and a true signature shoe.

Following the “Silver Lining” and “USC” colorways, the Nike LeBron NXXT Gen by JuJu line continues with her first EYBL edition, supposedly created in connection with the Nike Nationals girls championship later this month. The pair is energetic by every measure, pairing a vivid lime green upper with bright pink accents across the Swoosh, lining, and outsole. EYBL branding appears on one tongue, while the other carries LeBron’s familiar crown logo.

No release date for the Nike LeBron NXXT Gen by JuJu “EYBL” has been reported as of this writing, though EYBL sneakers have routinely made their way to retail in recent years. See detailed images below and keep our Sneaker Release Dates page close for any potential updates.
