Merry Christmas

It's Friday and we get a present from the King. LeBron James and Nike are releasing the LeBron 20 ‘Christmas’ shoe in a green and red colorway this month. In what is sure to be one of the most sought after sneaker releases of the holiday season, the LeBron 20 Christmas features a red and green flyknit upper and white sole with black accents 🎄

The pattern on the tongue, sole and Nike check is meant to look like the leaves of a wreath. Considering how popular the Kobe Grinches are, I expect this Bron sneaker to sell well and be a big hit with young hoopers 🐍

Looking through the replies on Twitter, I already see a few fans saying that these green LeBron 20’s are a rip off Kobe’s grinch sneakers. I don’t see it that way, if anything these are something of an homage 🙏

Frankly the entire LeBron 20 line doesn’t feel like a Kobe rip off to me, instead I respect the LeBron team making an effort to make a shoe that actually feels great to hoop in 👏

Shoutout to the best to ever do it, I hope I see a pair of these bad boys under the Christmas tree this year! 💧
