This special version of the Nike Kobe 9 pays tribute to the Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL), a prestigious tournament held at the end of each year, organized by Nike. With a pale blue gradient covering the Engineered Mesh upper, the sneaker is beautifully enhanced by vibrant Bright Mango accents on the sockliner, eyelets, branding, and midsole. Originally available only to those who participated in the tournament, this shoe holds a unique significance and serves as a cherished memento for the athletes.
