LeBron James’ signature sneaker series spans multiple decades, with The King now onto his 22nd mainline model, the LeBron 22. Ahead of the NBA All-Star festivities next month, Nike has prepped a kids’ exclusive footwear collection across multiple signature athletes, including Sabrina Ionescu and Ja Morant. Included in this is James’ Nike LeBron 22.
Featuring what appears to be a floral pattern on the upper, we see an obsidian-shaded leather panel grace the majority of the model. Stamped atop this is the aforementioned floral-esque pattern in a contrasting red hue, matching the lace set, leather tongue patch, and the sockliner. Splitting the upper in half and creating the outline of the Swoosh logo is a white nylon bungee cord, running back to also form LeBron’s signature on the heel.

Branding details for LeBron also continue onto the tongue, seen via the XX2 logo on the branding window, the LeBron signature on the insole, and the diamond-inspired crown logo on the medial midsole. Finishing the design is the red rubber midsole containing a golden Nike Swoosh on the lateral side and a matching red rubber outsole encapsulating the Zoom Turbo, Cushlon 2.0, and Air Zoom-laden cushioning setup.
The Nike LeBron 22 Rhythm of LeBron was released on February 11, 2025, and is available now through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. In kids' sizing, the retail price is $140.
