The latest collaboration between LeBron James and Hasbro brings an exciting fusion of basketball culture and the iconic Monopoly game. In commemoration of Monopoly Day on November 19, the three brands have launched the Nike LeBron 22 sneakers in two colorways - “Currency” and “Token” alongside a special edition of the Monopoly board game.
The LeBron James’ Nike x Hasbro Monopoly sneakers are priced at $200 in adult sizes and will be available on Nike’s website, with the "Currency" dropping on November 15 and the "Token" following on November 19. A life-sized version of the Monopoly game will be presented at James’ I Promise School in Akron, Ohio, making this launch exclusive for everyone.
The Nike LeBron James 22 “Currency” colorway draws from the Monopoly money design
The LeBron 22 "Currency" sneaker stands out with its design inspired by Monopoly money. Attributing graphics that pay tribute to the sentimental Art Deco style, this colorway nods to the eternal visuals of the classic board game. Nike’s attention to detail is evident in its exclusive aesthetic, which blends a vintage feel with contemporary performance traits.
The "Currency" design brings an innovative look to the LeBron 22 collection, appealing to sneakerheads and basketball fans who appreciate a design that rejoices in nostalgia and athleticism.
The LeBron 22 “Token” colorway is enthused by Monopoly’s iconic game pieces
The “Token” colorway of the LeBron 22 takes motivation from two of Monopoly’s most celebrated game pieces: the racecar and the thimble. This shoe merges a gold and floral print, mixing vintage Monopoly aesthetics with a modern design. The "Token" colorway also prioritizes comfort, showcasing Nike’s signature innovation in sneaker technology.
The design presents a different and fresh approach to the LeBron 22 line, incorporating elements of the beloved board game while guaranteeing the footwear remains suitable for casual wear and on-court performance. This colorway emphasizes the creative methods Nike and Hasbro are bringing together sports culture and gaming history.
The special edition Monopoly game presents a life-sized experience for students
Alongside the sneaker launch, Nike and Hasbro are announcing a life-sized version of the Monopoly game at House Three Thirty in Akron, Ohio. This event will be especially meaningful for students at LeBron James’ I Promise School, where they will experience the game in a larger-than-life format. The game will concentrate on some crucial moments in James’ career, letting contributors learn about financial knowledge through a fun, attractive platform.
Students will earn “Bron Bucks” and take lessons from qualified investors about saving, investing, and handling money. Each attendee will take home a special Monopoly edition: LeBron James Edition board game with products from the Nike x Hasbro partnership.
The LeBron James x Nike x Hasbro collaboration has something for everyone, from sneakerheads to those interested in financial education. The drop of the Nike LeBron 22 in two different colorways provides a chance to wear a piece of basketball history, while the life-sized Monopoly game brings a novel twist to the classic experience.
With the bonus of financial education for students, this collaboration celebrates LeBron’s legacy and highlights the power of mixing sports, gaming, and learning in a way that’s approachable to a distinctive audience.
