As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent on virtual basketball courts, the announcement of the Nike LeBron 22 has me practically jumping out of my seat (and maybe my gaming chair too). The fusion of real-world athleticism and virtual gaming technology never ceases to amaze me. I can almost feel that Cushlon 2.0 foam under my fingers as I swipe to take off for a dunk, just like LeBron himself.
With the NBA season fast approaching, Nike Basketball and LeBron James unveil his 22nd addition to the popular Nike LeBron series – the Nike LeBron 22. The design is a refined version of the sleek, low-cut styles introduced by the LeBron 20 and LeBron 21. LeBron James wore these new kicks during his record-breaking performance at this year’s Olympics in Paris, and images for its debut colorway were released just yesterday. Now, we have all the details on its key features.
Following the introduction of his initial training shoe with the Swoosh, the Nike LeBron TR1, the LeBron 22 is designed in a similar fashion to maximize the potential of the seasoned leader. The product of years of collaboration, it concentrates on “managing and surpassing pressure.” Its development starts with a new midfoot saddle that offers control through enhanced stability. The sole unit also includes Cushlon 2.0 foam alongside Zoom technology situated at both the forefoot and heel for effortless takeoffs and landings. Focusing on the outsole, its traction zones are specifically designed to support James’ key moves: jab steps, reverse pivots, takeoffs, and step-backs. Its premium details favor high-quality materials and distinct colorways such as this gray, neon green, pink, and black “Crown Jewel” design that serves as the initial appearance.
The Nike LeBron 22 shoe, boasting the “Crown Jewel” color scheme, will officially hit store shelves on November 1st, available through Nike SNKRS and various global retailers for a cost of $180 USD.
