Nike and LeBron James have an announcement to make: the new LeBron 22 will be available for purchase starting November 1st. The release of the new sneaker coincides with the start of the NBA season, where LeBron James and the Lakers hope to win their second title together.

James, now 39, will also have his son Bronny playing on the team, despite much controversy. The LeBron 22 first appeared when the Team USA star won the gold medal during the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.

“We engineered the LeBron XXII to match his powerful and agile playing style,” says Ross Klein, Nike’s Senior Director of Men’s Basketball Footwear Product Design. Here are some price details on the new LeBron 22s.
