The Hyperposite overlay gets a rather literal tree print while that championed Megafuse base utilizes the most Dark Emerald of any of three Nike Basketball Christmas collection pairs. Bright Crimson on the branding, lining, and speckled midsole helps to make this pair one of the best LeBron Christmas looks yet. The Nike Lebron 12 Christmas retails for $220.

Nike Kobe 9 Elite Christmas

Nike Kobe 9 Elite stands out with Bright Crimson with the flyknit upper while a unique pattern arrives on the midsole to offset the sparse greens found on the heel stitching and insole. At a retail price of $225 the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Christmas is a slam dunk.
