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” has 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.

I'm really hoping those blacklights, tunnel vision, pigeons, whatever you want to call them hit the discount. I was just watching some YouTube reviews and man those stock pics don't do them justice. The materials alone are sooo nice. It's a great color blocking job as well and that's not something you will hear coming out of my mouth very often when it comes to the lebron line

It’s guaranteed, finish line had the CJ’s available for 130… not a single size moved…Disco train on the way

I mean come on 😂?? The XX’s IMO were a perfect mix of crazy/spirited but subtle and dope. James Gang, Nike Lifer’s, Black/Gold, Debut’s etc. Now we’re getting Cotton Candy Bozo’s

They need to just go ahead and make those the PRIDE colorway. The Lion and his Pride thing, along with connecting with as a gay community activist.

Win/Win.

Just give us a triple black colorway and let us forget about this model.

Here’s hoping the 23s will be a huge improvement over these.

One of the worst things I've ever seen. The color blocking is so elementary and basic. You can put these at the bottom of the trash can with those patent pink "south beach" colorway. I don't think we're in any danger of missing out on PE only colorways anytime soon. Hot garbage

High praise from FDZ

I was able to try them on today at DSG… didn’t really notice the weight difference. Felt pretty similar to the 21… can def feel the saddle, had like a cradling effect on my foot. Will probably grab a pair down the road, this colorway kinda growing on me.. looks good in person.
