When it comes to Christmas time, the Three Kings are more associated with gift giving than that of King James. Still, LeBron James and Nike have taken inspiration from the holiday by whipping up an array of Christmas<\/strong> themed Nike LeBron sneakers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Over the course of his career, LeBron James has played on Christmas Day a handful of times, but only a portion of the sneakers he wore were inspired by holiday vibes. With the recent unveiling of the Christmas Nike LeBron 12 “Akron Birch” for this year’s game and festivities, we take a look back at all the Christmas themed Nike LeBron signature sneaker.<\/p>\n

Nike Air Zoom Generation “Christmas” PE<\/h2>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2003<\/p>\n

As a rookie, LeBron James faced off against Tracy McGrady on Christmas Day. For the big event, Nike cooked up a “Christmas” colorway of the Air Zoom Generation. This laser decorated pair proved to be a PE and was never released.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Zoom LeBron VII “Christmas”<\/h2>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2009<\/p>\n

The implementation of Air Max cushioning propelled the Nike LeBron line to new heights. Building on the buzz, the Nike Zoom LeBron VII “Christmas” sported gradient styling and released to the public.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike LeBron 8 V2 “Christmas” Stoplight Pack<\/h2>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2010<\/p>\n

Hitting the brakes in styling but far from slowing down, the Nike LeBron 8 V2 “Christmas” from the Stoplight Pack rocked red in bold fashion. Green laces and a speckled midsole added zest to this nationwide launch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike LeBron 9 “Christmas”<\/h2>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2011<\/p>\n

Yes, all-red shoes were cool before Kanye. The Nike LeBron 9 “Christmas” maintained the marquee tone from the model before, cutting down the contrast with an icy, clear outsole.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike LeBron X “Christmas”<\/h2>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2012<\/p>\n

Sticking with the winning formula, the Nike LeBron X “Christmas” remained red and represented the rarest of diamond. Green accents were in greater abundance, touching the branding and sole.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike LeBron 11 “Christmas”<\/h2>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2013<\/p>\n

Flipping the script, the Nike LeBron 11 “Christmas” went icy green on the upper for a more chill take on the holiday theme. Snowflake styling and red accents tied it all together on this December drop.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike LeBron 12 “Akron Birch”<\/h2>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2014<\/p>\n

Staying green, the Nike LeBron 12 “Akron Birch” carries over the snowflake story while also implementing camo. Traditional tones of red take a holiday on this pair, with hyper punch accents bringing brightness to the table.<\/p>\n
