Early Look: Nike LeBron 24 "Christmas" (2026)

LeBron James may no longer be the go-to offensive player now that he's on the Philadelphia 76ers, but that doesn't mean he isn't still box office. His current signature silhouette, the Nike LeBron 24, demonstrates this perfectly.

Nike Basketball continues cementing its place in the world of hoops with young, exciting talent, but it keeps a special place in its annual plans for "King James." The LeBron 24 didn't see the marketing push that its immediate predecessor saw, but it still showcases the Swoosh's commitment to providing the greatest performance gear for the NBA veteran. As the lightest Nike LeBron shoe ever, the LeBron 24 is an important part of James' signature series, and will likely help him feel fresh in deeper parts of the 2026-27 season.

As was the case for Halloween 2026, the Swoosh's hoops-obsessed cohort is outfitting LBJ's shoe the Christmas 2026. Complete details have yet to be disclosed by the brand as of writing, but it seems that the seasonal launch will take after the Grinch's iconic lime green look.

What stands out from the "X-Mas" LeBron 24 is that the KingKnit upper is reworked with a plastic zippered shroud. The zippered layer brings a lenticular-like component to the basketball shoe, which likely makes a visual statement on the hardwood.

Swoosh branding opts for a shimmering silver detail, while the semi-translucent outsoles underfoot keep things thematic in eye-catching green.

Stay tuned for more details on the festive LeBron 24. Pairs should drop via Nike.com, Foot Locker, and other popular retailers on December 4.
