The WNBA season is coming to a close soon, with Golden State and Atlanta showing down in a match-up of defensive powerhouses. When the WNBA season ends, though, the college basketball season is only a few weeks behind, quickly restarting a new season of hype for women’s hoops fans everywhere. In Southern California, the USC Trojans are eyeing a deep tournament run with the return of the school’s superstar guard, JuJu Watkins.
The Nike LeBron NXXT Gen By JuJu Black White is the latest pair from the LeBron’s NXXT Gen label, which was designed with insights from Watkins. After debuting the silhouette in silver earlier in the year and then adding a USC red colorway a few months back, the Black White colorway follows a slime green EYBL PE and a clean summer colorway in bronze and pink.

Starting with a clean black suede base on the one-piece toecap and lace panel, the side panels switch to black mesh, with a quilted black sockliner and black midsole to round it out. The Swoosh is black, too, but outlined in white to match the white laces and complete the two-tone look. Inside are doodles created by JuJu, including a ladybug on the lining of the tongue and a “NXXT Gen By JuJu” drawing on the insole.
The Nike LeBron NXXT Gen By JuJu Black White will be released Holiday 2026, through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $170. To keep up with all the latest Nike Basketball news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
