UPDATE 6/13/26: A full size run of JuJu’s Nike LeBron NXXT Gen “With Love” is still available on Nike.com.

Original Story 6/11/26:
Coinciding with Watkins’ return to the hardwood after tearing her ACL in March Madness causing her to miss the 2025-26 season, Nike is keeping her front-and-center for their basketball future. This next colorway fits that mold perfectly and this release continues that momentum as her return nears.

The JuJu Watkins x Nike LeBron NXXT Gen “With Love” will release June 12, 2026 at 10AM ET on Nike.com, along with select retailers.

Watkins made history earlier this year with the LeBron NXXT Gen “Silver Lining,” becoming the first athlete to co-create a sneaker under the LeBron NXXT line. Her “With Love” colorway shifts the story closer to USC, using a Hyper Crimson base with golden yellow hits that tie back to the Trojans.

Shaggy suede changes the feel of the shoe right away. It covers the tongue, lace stays, toe box, and medial panels, giving the performance model more texture than the average on-court release. Yellow detailing appears on the insoles, behind the tongue, and on the spare laces.

The LeBron NXXT Gen still keeps its basketball build intact. Full-length React foam handles the cushioning, while forefoot Air Zoom units add bounce for quick cuts, hard stops, and explosive moves off the dribble. It fits Watkins’ game without needing to overstate the connection.

The Nike LeBron NXXT Gen “With Love” by JuJu Watkins releases June 12th at 10AM ET through Nike.com and select retailers.
