LeBron James has been one of the most consistent parts of Nike's roster for the last two decades, and The King has received a yearly sneaker release since his rookie season in 2003. Now, onto his 21st sneaker; we're getting ready to gear up for his next primary model, the Nike LeBron 22. While we already know the silhouette is dropping in full during the Holiday 2024 season, the LeBron 22 will officially debut with a collaboration with Monopoly in September.
The Monopoly x Nike LeBron 22 is a visual feast, boasting a design as dynamic as LeBron's playing style. The upper is enveloped in Monopoly money print, lending the shoe an audacious and vibrant aesthetic. This design is complemented by strategic cut-outs on the midfoot and heel that reveal an expansive Swoosh, marrying classic Nike branding with the game's whimsical elements. The palette is further enriched with purple accents adorning the sockliner and tongue, alongside a bold green that outlines the Swoosh and animates the heel tab. The design's intricacy extends to the sole, where a green and silver midsole supports the shoe, finished with a gum and green outsole that promises durability and traction.
The Monopoly x Nike LeBron 22 will release on September 28, 2024, through Nike and select retailers. Available in men's and GS sizing, the retail price is set at $225 for men and $150 for GS.
