Original Story: A new NBA season is upon us and that means that we’ll be seeing new colorways and silhouettes hitting the courts. Amongst one of them are the Nike LeBron 22s. The Akron king himself, LeBron James is gearing up for a new season, playing side-by-side with his son Bronny James, ready to show-out in the new season with some never-before-seen sneakers. He teases what is to come for the upcoming season in a recent pre-season warm-up, revealing the “Blacklight” colorway for his latest signature sneaker. The shoe is dressed in a sleek, black nubuck upper, constructed of premium quality throughout. The shoe features a bold laser fuchsia that accents the outline of the shoe to contrast the darker hues. Dark grey panels complement the upper on the midsole while purple and guava ice details hit the shoe, adding to its design. The LeBron 22 sits atop a two-toned midsole on top of a Zoom Turbo unit for extra explosiveness. It is equipped with a full-length CushIon 2.0 foam for added comfort and is set to release in early December of this year.
