Team USA Unveil Their PE Sneakers Ahead of the FIBA World Cup

The world of basketball is all set to unite at the 2023 FIBA World Cup at the end of August, and the anticipation is palpable. As national pride and competitive spirit combine, the Men's National Team USA is gearing up, recently holding a four-day training camp in Las Vegas. Amidst the drills and scrimmages on the UNLV campus, one aspect caught the eye of fans and sneaker enthusiasts alike: the stunning array of Team USA Player Exclusive (PE) sneakers sported by the 12-man roster.

Representing a mix of Nike, Jordan Brand, and adidas, these exclusive sneakers are as diverse and dynamic as the players themselves.

Kobe Bryant's enduring influence was evident, with players like Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Tyrese Haliburton donning bright white versions of the Nike Kobe 6 Protro, embellished with a patriotic USA color palette. Quentin Grimes gave a sneak peek of his dark navy pair on Instagram, while Bobby Portis showcased a modified take on the legendary Nike Kobe 5 "Bruce Lee" series.

Jordan Brand marked its presence through Paolo Banchero, who flaunted the Air Jordan 37 Lows in a tasteful combination of white, dark blue, and red. On the adidas front, Anthony Edwards, despite rumors of receiving his own signature shoe, sported a BYW Select PE.

Catch a glimpse of these exclusive designs below, each telling its own story, capturing the essence of the players, and reflecting the spirit of Team USA.

Look out for the tournament to tip off on August 25.
