As one of Nike's most iconic athletes, LeBron James' signature sneaker line has consistently pushed the boundaries of performance and style. During this year’s Summer Olympics in Paris, LeBron did not disappoint, debuting several new Nike models, including the LeBron TR 1, the Nike ReactX Rejuven8, and his latest signature basketball model, the LeBron 22. Taking the court in the gold medal win against France, The King sported a fitting Gold Medal PE of his LeBron 22.
The Nike LeBron 22 Gold Medal PE is a fitting tribute to LeBron's legendary career and Team USA's Olympic triumph. The sneaker features a striking metallic gold finish that covers the entire base layer, exuding an air of victory and prestige. Obsidian accents complement the gold, which adds depth and contrast to the design. An obsidian outline Swoosh logo runs along the side, leading to LeBron James' signature, also in obsidian, prominently displayed on the heel. The obsidian detailing continues on the tongue, laces, and sockliner, enhancing the sneaker's bold aesthetic. Underfoot, the shoe has a golden midsole, an iridescent Swoosh logo, and a matching golden rubber outsole, providing both style and performance on the court.
While the Nike LeBron 22 Gold Medal PE was created specifically for LeBron's Olympic appearance, we expect multiple colorways of the model to come to shelves in the coming months.
