While sitting courtside at a Mavericks vs. Lakers matchup in December of 2019, Kobe Bryant began an inclusive movement alongside his daughter Gigi who was sporting the now infamous vibrant orange WNBA hoodie. From LeBron James to Chris Paul to Naomi Osaka, the now #1 selling apparel piece in League history was dubbed Sports Business Journal’s “Fashion Statement of the Year” in 2020 with fans and supporters alike clamoring to get their hands on the supportive hoodie.
Paying homage to the staple closet asset, the Nike Air Deldon is joining this past February’s clad orange Nike Dunk High for a celebratory colorway. Reserving a dominant majority of its cracked leather and suede upper for the synonymous bright orange hue, the silhouette’s Swoosh and sequential drop-down construction enjoys a cake batter employment. Furthering its brightened accents along the tongues pull tabs, the medial sides mesh tooling employs a tightly knit white outfit in stark contrast to its speckled protective mudguard. Darkening its upper tongue with a brown toned mesh, a vintage gum tread finishes the pair’s tribute underfoot.
While we sit tight on the silhouette’s release in early 2023, enjoy official images of the Nike Air Deldon “WNBA Hoodie” below in the meantime.
