We all have taken LeBron James’ presence in the NBA for granted. It’s unlikely we’ll get another player who can perform at the caliber LeBron has for over 20 years, with The King reaching a new milestone in NBA history by becoming the first player to surpass 50,000 career points. Of course, he achieved this feat while rocking his latest signature sneaker with Nike, the Nike LeBron 22, in the upcoming Bryce’s World colorway.
Paying homage to his son Bryce, who, unfortunately, won’t be able to play with his father the like his brother Bronny James is doing right now as a member of the Lakers, LeBron coats the silhouette in a mixture of vibrant blue hues and volt greens. A gradient effect featuring these two hues begins at the bottom of the sneaker, transitioning from blue to volt green as you work your way up. The green hue also totally envelopes the lace set, tongue overlay, perforated tongue, sockliner, and bungee cord that outlines the midfoot Swoosh and creates the LeBron signature on the heel.
As for the Swoosh panel, we see a textured blue hue that wraps around the back to the heel, matching the midfoot stability saddle with a contrasting pink Nike Swoosh. This shade is applied to the branding window atop the tongue and on the mini Swoosh on the medial toe. While the connection to Bryce may not seem apparent based on the description so far, his face is present on the medial side of the midsole, which itself contains multiple cushioning technologies, including Zoom Turbo, Cushlon 2,0, and Zoom Air. Finishing the sneaker is the blue rubber outsole.
The Nike LeBron 22 Bryce’s World will release on April 1, 2025, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s and GS sizing, the retail price is $190 and $150.
