LeBron James continues to put up impressive numbers in year 22, and Nike is hoping this latest installment in his venerable signature sneaker line can do the same.
The Nike LeBron XXII continues a trend that began with the Nike LeBron XX, which broke from the tradition of pairing high volume visible Nike Air cushioning in a high top silhouette. Like the XX and XXI before it, the Nike LeBron XXII features a low cut design that relies on encapsulated Zoom Air cushioning units. A low profile Zoom Air bag is mounted to the top of a Cushlon 2.0 foam midsole, while heel cushioning is provided by a thicker, bottom mounted Zoom Air unit.

The phrase “signature line” have never been more literal, as the upper is defined by a single, swooping line that creates both the iconic Nike Swoosh on either side and LeBron James’ signature around the heel.
The Nike LeBron XXII is available now in debut “Crown Jewel” and Monopoly-licensed “Currency” colorways, with a 3M-paneled “Blacklight” version slated for a December 6th release.
