The arrival of the "Bright Crimson" colorway in the Nike LeBron NXXT Genisus marks a significant turning point in the history of the brand. By combining performance and design elements with the essence of the Air Zoom Generation, the LeBron NXXT Genisus exemplifies that new-meets-old package.

The NXXT Gen series, which is worn by LeBron, his son, and a number of NBA players, has potential as long as the company remembers its customers.


Release date, where to buy, price

In the spring of 2025, the Nike LeBron NXXT Genisus "Bright Crimson" will go on sale. It will cost $150 USD and be offered in-store, online, on Nike.com and a few Nike Basketball shops.


Sneaker design

The silhouette, which is depicted in the Bright Crimson Sundial colorway, is comparable to earlier NXXT Gen versions in terms of general design and branding.

But the upper's construction and tooling are completely different. More red is applied to the mesh sections of the tongue, while the base features a tiny mesh with a wild, '90s-style pattern in a contrasting red tint.

This unique lacing design has LeBron James' signature on top of the tongue and nylon lace loops.

The double Swoosh design features a black sundial logo outline and a smaller iridescent one with yellow "X" stitching accents that go back into the heel as we get toward the midfoot.

The insole is branded with NXXT Genisus, while the sockliner nearby has cushioned padding for comfort and lockdown.

Below, the sole unit is different from the original NXXT Gen, with a revised foam configuration and an altered outsole traction pattern.


Brief history of Nike LeBron Nxxt Gen

A performance basketball shoe designed to satisfy the demands of the contemporary game is the Nike LeBron NXXT Gen. The goal of Nike's design team is to keep athletes ahead of the competition by using force and speed in every direction.

The configuration maintains a flexible court feel that flows with your foot organically while providing energy return for responsiveness. Additionally, the heel's top-loaded Zoom Air element provides more impact protection.

Like the Nike LeBron 20, these sneakers have multiple references to James' history. Future color schemes will also pay homage to James' illustrious career and family.


Nike LeBron 22 "What The Monopoly" drops on January 23

Nike Basketball and Monopoly just announced that the LeBron 22 will be available in two themed colorways by the end of 2025.

Furthermore, the Swoosh has now formally revealed a third "What The Monopoly" pair.

Tie-dyed accents are used throughout the mismatched pair, and the thematic shoe box and the stitched tag on the lateral heel pay homage to Monopoly.

At a starting price of $200 USD, the release is still planned for January 23, 2025, via Nike SNKRS and a few other stores.


Don't overlook this latest addition to LeBron's sneaker collection. With its ideal blend of cutting-edge technology and style, the Nike Zoom LeBron NXXT Genisus "Bright Crimson" guarantees that you'll be prepared for any game.

This release adds vitality and performance to every stride, whether on the court or in the streets.
