Nike Basketball’s Christmas collection is taking shape, and the LeBron 24 “Christmas” is the latest pair to show up. The shoe is expected to release on December 4th for $200.
The big theme this year is a see-through zippered shroud, and LeBron’s version might be the boldest. A green layer wraps over the upper, and it has an effect that shifts in the light.
Overall, the colors are black and electric green with touches of metallic silver. Silver appears on the Swoosh near the heel, while a red logo sits on top of the tongue.
The outsole is green rubber, and it houses a Zoom Turbo unit. That keeps the shoe light and quick, just like the rest of the LeBron 24 line.
The pair is part of a Grinch-inspired “naughty list” theme that also includes the Sabrina 4 and the Book 2. The style code is IO8205-300. Pairs are expected in men’s sizing through Nike and select retailers.
The first look came from a 360-degree video that Nike shared. Some basketball creators also saw the shoe earlier during a trip to Nike headquarters. Overall, it is one of the most eye-catching Christmas Nikes in years.

Nike LeBron 24 “Christmas”
LeBron’s holiday shoes have a long history. The Christmas Day games have also always been a showcase for new colorways, and fans look forward to them every year. His first Christmas season as a Sixer adds some extra attention to whatever he wears.
The LeBron 24 line has already included the Nike LeBron 24 Greater China and the red and blue pairs in Sixers colors, and the blue “Stars” pair is set for November 17th.
The shoe is also the lightest LeBron signature model so far, and the zippered shroud gives it a futuristic edge that fans may love.
Overall, the “Christmas” 24 is a fun, creative way to end the year. It should be one of the most talked-about Nike Basketball releases in December.
