The Kobe shoes enterprise is big business as always, but it already feels like 2025 will be a banner year for the late legend’s line. As Vanessa Bryant continues to shepherd his namesake under the Swoosh, she let loose a preview of some of the upcoming pairs that fans can look forward to. The Nike Kobe 4 “CHBL” is revealed as a part of that update, presenting a sunny take on the overseas endeavor.
Supported by Beaverton since 2022, the Chinese High School Basketball League has recieved special make-ups of Nike hoops product on a yearly basis ever since, but the Kobe 4 easily becomes the most sought-after silhouette made up for the occasion. A buttery gradient from “Soft Yellow” to “Lightening” is the standout feature, particularly attention-grabbing with the speckled midsole detailing. “Dusty Cactus” alternate laces present a way to bring some contrast flair to the profile, but otherwise, these stick around on the warmer side of the color palette in oding to overseas youth players.
The Nike Kobe 4 “CHBL” currently doesn’t have a concrete release date at the time of this writing. However, most of the other colorways that Vanessa Bryant previewed had previously been reported for Summer 2025 launches, potentially also the case for the Kobe 4 at hand. Finally, note that the bulk of previous CHBL pairs have remained Asia-exclusive; no doubt a heartbreaking turn of events for Kobe devotees but a distinct possibility nonetheless. Check out the glossy first look included below and keep our coverage close by for further updates.
