The newest Nike LeBron 22 will come in a deep teal colorway accented by a white Nike Swoosh and white midsole to match. We see bright pink stitching along the Nike Swoosh and through the back heel as the shoes are finished by a soft neon green Nike Zoom outsole. We also see fluffy white laces over the teal tongue, furthering the Christmas theme on this upcoming release. It may not rank the highest among James’ exclusive set of holiday sneakers, but it’s certainly a clean option for their upcoming game.

LeBron James is 10-7 on Christmas Day in his career, averaging 27.1 PPG, 7.6 RPG, and 7.0 APG. It will be the Lakers’ first time matching up against the Golden State Warriors when the two squads meet December 25 on ABC and ESPN.

The Nike LeBron 22 “Christmas” is expected to release on December 26, 2024 for a retail tag of $190. They should come in full sizing and will be made available through Nike SNKRS app and select Nike retailers. Be sure to grab your pair in time for the holiday season!
