For most, pressure is a problem. However, pressure presents an opportunity for LeBron James.
LeBron's latest signature silhouette is the product of decades of embracing, channeling, and rising above pressure. The LeBron XXII is crafted to enhance his game while inspiring the next generation of hoopers, who, like their icon, thrive under pressure rather than avoiding it.
"We engineered the LeBron XXII to match his powerful and agile playing style," says Ross Klein, Senior Director of Men's Basketball Footwear Product Design. "To move with the force and precision LeBron needs, we focused on delivering maximum lockdown control while maintaining the speed, lightweight feel, and court connection that he's loved in his recent signature models."
The LeBron XXII introduces a new midfoot saddle construction that acts as a guardrail and provides a natural sense of control and stability, enabling the next generation to lock in, take off, and push the limits with confidence. The shoe also features Cushlon 2.0 foam throughout the midsole for enhanced comfort with every step, while Zoom technology in the heel and forefoot ensures powerful propulsion and soft landings.
The low-top silhouette helps keep athletes grounded and allows for unrestricted movement while maintaining control. Outsole features, including traction zones, are engineered to support key movements, such as LeBron's jab steps, reverse pivots, takeoffs, and step-backs.
The LeBron XXII blends performance with luxury, using premium materials, elevated performance construction, and refined detailing that's designed to handle the demands of any stage, from the hardwood to Hollywood. LeBron’s style is evident throughout the shoe, from bold, disruptive colorways inspired by his design influence to his signature embedded in the heel, giving the shoe a distinct and personal touch.
The release of LeBron’s latest signature model closely follows the announcement of his first training shoe, the LeBron TR1, which transcends disciplines in an all-day silhouette that appeals to multisport athletes seeking both top-tier performance and bold street style.
The LeBron XXII will be available in adult and kids' sizing at nike.com and select retail locations on November 1.
