Every year, the top high school basketball players in the country battle it out during the circuit of Nike’s Elite Youth Basketball League. It’s essentially designed to be the “NBA” of high school hoops as it utilizes scouting networks, player evaluations and coaches’ recommendations to invite elite talent to play amongst its plethora of AAU teams. And those that have the luxury of touching the hardwood in this league are often treated to exclusive gear provided by the Swoosh such as this newly-unveiled Nike LeBron 20 “EYBL” colorway.For this new installment, Swoosh designers spruce James’ 20th signature sneaker with a myriad of striking details. Against its knitted gray backdrop you’ll find its double-stacked Nike checks fitted with a colorful mosaic that almost channels the aesthetic of a painter’s palette. The throat hosts pale pink laces and bright blue overlays while the tongues have been fitted with a bright purple hue and come stamped with EYBL logos. Inside, you’ll find the insoles co-branded with LeBron’s “XX” logo that resides underneath another EYBL hit. Down below, the midsoles are split between white and black panels, the former being sprinkled with multi-colored speckles.It’s likely that these will not be releasing to the public.Looking for more sneaker news?

Collaborative touches come in the form of Jarritos’ signature green appearing at its Swooshes, co-branding and rubber outsole while its matching orange similarly lands on branding elements, a small portion of the outsole and is used as contrast stitching at the midsole. Branding notes begin with a Jarritos jug pouring out its classic Mandarin flavor towards the heel, a co-branded tongue design and heel branding that reads “NIKE” and “JARRITOS” across the two shoes. Completing the pair, tear-away layers under the Swooshes and overlays are also included, revealing an orange base as pictured below.Official release information and imagery has yet to be shared by Nike and Jarritos.
