The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris have drawn to a close, with 329 events showcasing the pinnacle of global athleticism. Among the memorable highlights was 39-year-old LeBron James leading Team USA to gold after their fourth-place finish in last year’s FIBA World Cup.
In the Gold Medal Game against the host nation, France, James delivered an exceptional performance, logging the highest minutes on court and making significant contributions in both scoring and assists. His performance was further distinguished by his choice of footwear: the Nike LeBron 22 in a striking all-gold colorway. This exclusive design featured a dazzling gold base with black accents on the Swoosh and James’ signature at the heel. The sneakers gleamed under the arena lights, captivating the attention of millions and marking a significant moment in James’ storied career—potentially his final appearance representing Team USA.
Currently, Nike Basketball has not announced whether this golden version of the LeBron 22 will be released to the public. While it is likely a player-exclusive (PE) model, there is hope that a public release or a similar variant may be made available to commemorate LeBron James and Team USA’s historic victory. Stay tuned for future updates on the availability of this special edition sneaker.
