The Free The Youth x Air Jordan 16 Retro will be released in unisex sizing for $255. Like most Nike Kobe releases, this pair will be semi-limited. Select retailers and boutiques, such as Kith, Extra Butter, Undefeated, etc., will carry the release.

As of this writing, Nike has not loaded the pair to the SNKRS app, so it’s possible the pair will not get a Nike SNKRS release in the US. However, just in case they decide to shock drop the pair, make sure to update your Nike SNKRS App on your mobile device and ensure your billing/shipping info is up-to-date so you can enter the release with no issues.
