Nike Basketball is famous for its thematic releases, especially its Christmas-themed sneakers. While the golden era of these holiday collections has come and gone, the label still comes forward with new colorways on the latest signature sneakers. For 2024, we’ve already gotten a preview of Ja Morant’s Nike Ja 2 in the X-Mas Tree Topper color scheme and have now just received our first look at LeBron James’ Nike LeBron 22 in an X-Mas colorway.
Taking on a split design, Christmas colors of white, red, and dusty cactus cover the upper of the left pair. A metallic shine is applied to the dusty cactus portions, wrapping around the toebox, collar, and midfoot, while the white Swoosh cutout is trimmed with red nylon. This red nylon extends onto the heel tab and forms LeBron’s signature.
