The Nike LeBron 23 Gets Festive with the ‘Stocking Stuffer’

The Nike LeBron 23 gets a festive remix with the upcoming ‘Stocking Stuffer’ – a holiday-themed colourway that adds seasonal personality to one of Nike Basketball’s most dependable signature lines.

Visually, the ‘Stocking Stuffer’ taps into Christmas energy. A bold ‘Bright Crimson’ upper does most of the jawing, while iridescent blue and teal overlays bring movement and depth through the side panels. Accents in ‘Dusty Amethyst’ and ‘Barely Volt’ sharpen the palette, before a translucent green outsole ties the festive theme together. The standout detail lives at the heel, where LeBron’s signature ‘LJ’ logo is flipped into a pair of stockings stuffed with coal – a cheeky nod to the colourway’s name. Nike also lean into the holiday moment with special themed packaging, giving the unboxing experience an extra lift.

Importantly, this pair doesn’t lose sight of what the line does best. The LeBron 23 is built to handle power basketball, pairing Zoom Air cushioning with a responsive foam setup for impact protection and energy return underfoot. A reinforced upper and structured containment through the midfoot keep things locked in, while a stable base helps manage LeBron-level forces when cutting, landing, and changing direction at speed.

Whether it’s destined for a Christmas rotation or wrapped up under the tree, the LeBron 23 ‘Stocking Stuffer’ proves festive sneakers can still mean business. Look for the colourway to land on December 26 at Nike and select retailers.
