Nike LeBron 22

Being a longtime fan of the line I have a few the 2-4, 8, 11, 14, 15, and the 22
 
Had a few and all were tts and for me just well. Just a ymmv shoe.
I have a pair of the first color way. I put them on. Due to the posite there’s no give and it’s tight. Not comfortable for walking around all day. But you’re right.
 
1) 10
2) 9
3) 20
4) 8
5) 11

Only models I wouldn’t mind not owning is the 5 & 6.

15, 18, 19 were performance duds but looked great great.
Good list. As much as I like the 20….probably swap it for the 7s. Or bump the 11s off since the 20s are more comfortable lol. But the 11s definitely had fire colorways.

It’s wild what they’re doing to the 22.

I like the 7s, only have the Red Carpets but they’re beautiful on feet.

11s had fantastic color ways, especially his Heat PE’s that you could recreate on iD.

It’s wild what they’ve been doing with the past 3 models (20-22) in terms of special occasion/colorway release. If they had just released those iconic moments we’d be having a very different conversation about these models IMO.

Btw, are the Elites counted as a separate sneaker? That’s mainly why I put the 10s and 9s so high 😂 Obviously the standard version of both models are classics but the Elites 😮‍💨
 
With the elites, Nike was doing what they’re doing now with their run lines lol.

I’d say they’re not exactly the same shoe, slightly different design, setup and tooling. Usually for the better.

I liked the XX as a shoe and there were some good colorways. But I felt toward the end they didn’t ratchet it up for “heat.” And with the 21 and 22, just been lackluster besides his PEs. They’re not doing a generational player right. Dude has played 22 seasons lol, turned 40…and it’s like New Nike just quit.
 
9s are my all-time favorites, but I'd give the best to the 7s. That's where Brons really became a staple in footwear from a casual standpoint. 7 thru 11 still one of the greatest runs in sneaker design history. Petrie was in his bag for that run from both design and colorways.
