LeBron James is set to make history this year by playing in his 19th Christmas Day game, and what better way to celebrate than with a festive sneaker release? Enter the Nike LeBron 22 ‘Christmas’, a bold and playful tribute to both the holiday spirit and James’ illustrious career.
This special edition sneaker combines eye-catching design with a touch of nostalgia, taking inspiration from classic Nike Christmas basketball collections while putting a fresh spin on the tradition.
Design Details:
The most striking feature of the LeBron 22 ‘Christmas’ is its mismatched colourway. Each shoe swaps dominant and accent hues between vibrant ‘Solar Red’ and ‘Vapour Green’. The left shoe pairs a blue and green leather upper with bright pink accents, while the right shoe reverses the arrangement. These bold contrasts not only channel the festive vibes of the season but also give a subtle nod to the iconic LeBron 8 ‘South Beach’ — a fan-favourite from James' signature line.
Adding to the holiday cheer are intricate details like fuzzy white laces reminiscent of fresh snow, translucent outsoles with green forefoot accents, and insoles adorned with snowflake graphics. For an extra splash of personalisation, Nike includes an additional set of green laces to complement the outsole.
The glossy finishes on the upper and velvet-like textures on the laces complete the luxe, celebratory vibe. Sneaker enthusiasts will also spot subtle references to previous holiday hits, including a ‘Grinch-like’ aesthetic that echoes Kobe’s legendary Christmas designs.
Release Info:
Set to launch on December 26th via the SNKRS app and select retailers, the Nike LeBron 22 ‘Christmas’ is a must-have for fans of basketball, sneakers, and the holiday season. Don’t miss your chance to bring the holiday drip to your collection!
