Just when you were feeling a little disappointed about Paul George being the only Nike Basketball athlete with a Christmas-themed sneaker this year, LeBron James drops a surprise ahead of the Lakers' game against the Dallas Mavericks.
James laced up the 'X-Mas in LA' colorway of the Nike LeBron 18, taking on a traditional red-based look with subtle green and metallic gold accents. The "snow" speckled midsole is reminiscent of Christmas LeBron releases of the past and LeBron-inspired ornaments adorn the insoles. Icy blue-tinted translucent soles cap off the festive look.
The "X-Mas in LA" LeBron 18 will release on Dec. 30 for $225 on the SNKRS app.
