If you think of CHBL, the Chinese High School Basketball League, as Nike’s version of EYBL in China, the PE sneaker lines should also be equivalent. But this year, The Swoosh is taking things to the stratosphere for the teens in China.
The Nike GT Future CHBL Blue is the latest CHBL PE to arrive from beyond Earth’s atmosphere, adding another galaxy print upper to the wavy, armored silhouette. Just like the pink galaxy CHBL Futures, the pair adds a flooded all-over print galaxy to the upper with a CHBL basketball logo to the tongue on the left shoe and a Swoosh on the right.
