The Nike LeBron 24 "Stars" Releases November 2026

Nike Basketball is officially unveiling the LeBron 24 with the "Stars" colorway, a release that marks both a significant design shift for the signature line and the launch of a new storytelling framework built around chapters from LeBron James' life and career. The "Stars" name connects directly to the Shooting Stars, the AAU program James played for as a kid, a team that has appeared as inspiration on LeBron footwear in various player-exclusive builds over the years.

The LeBron line was long associated with heavier, more protective builds designed around James' physical style of play, but the LeBron 24 moves in a different direction entirely. Nike calls it the lightest game shoe in LeBron's signature history, achieved through a new KingKnit upper that reduces weight while maintaining breathability and on-court support. React foam runs the full length of the removable drop-in midsole, with Air Zoom cushioning placed in both the heel and forefoot for responsive impact protection. A midfoot shank provides structural stability, and a redesigned traction pattern on the outsole is engineered for grip through cuts and directional changes. The "Stars" colorway lands in a Polarized Blue, Black, Racer Blue, and Blue Glow palette that reflects the team colors tied to James' AAU background.
