Matt Varga For the average basketball fan, we’re currently in a “dead zone” for viewership; Summer League just wrapped, the college season is months away, and even the WNBA is on a mini-hiatus following their All-Star festivities. However, lower down the ranks, things are peaking. That’s especially visible through the lens of Nike Basketball, paying homage to the streetball tournament circuit and the next generation of aspirant hoopers with their yearly PEs. As Bradley Beal Elite wraps their title in the 2025 EYBL Peach Jam finals, some of the special PE make-ups are trickling out, featuring the Nike Ja 3, Sabrina 2, and A’One.
Of course, as one of Nike Basketball’s buzziest new faces, the Ja 3 gets top billing in this group, utilizing the signature orange shade in spades throughout its profile, bracketing it with neon green laces and blue branding hits, including on the Swoosh/”JA” hits on the lateral side. As it typically does, that “Peach Jam” coloring makes repeat appearances on what attendees laced up in — two A’one PEs wear it proudest in alternating trim treatments, swapping between moody navy and a lighter counterpart similar to the GR “Blue Fury.”
Sabrina Ionescu rounds out the shoes that’ve been revealed so far, issuing her own two-pack on both her previous silhouette and its upcoming successor. For a general issue pack, the Liberty sharpshooter prints a Knicks-adjacent edition and one that diverges from the tourney’s typical palette, sporting stealthy black and blue with gold detailing. On top of these editions, she also gifted the Sabrina 3 to the Cal Stars, a squad that she took to a championship in her own EYBL run. A pink/black is the more easily digestible of the two, but the upcoming “By You” initiative for the silhouette surfaces with a volt-soled, mismatch pair.
If it even needs saying, all of these “EYBL” pairs that Nike Basketball produced will remain exclusive to the players themselves. Nonetheless, you can get a sense of what this years’ swag had to offer via the in-hand images included below.
