TLDR: The Nike LeBron 23 ‘Green With Envy’ celebrates LeBron's legendary Game 6 performance against Boston in 2012 – with striking colours, clever details and a dash of trash talk in sneaker form. Release date is 29 January 2026 for €200. As always, more information is available at Grailify. The latest colourway of the Nike LeBron 23 commemorates one of the most significant games in LeBron's career: Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics. In a do-or-die moment, LeBron delivered a dominant performance with 45 points, making it clear once and for all that the Celtics' time was over – Miami was the new powerhouse in the East.
In keeping with this, the sneaker features a light green upper with an iridescent mudguard in purple that changes depending on the light. The colours not only refer to the Celtics, but also to the iconic purple shirt LeBron wore before the game. Water droplet graphics can be seen on the tongue – a tribute to the victory celebrations in the locker room – and there is a special detail on the heel: a metallic tag in the shape of a can tab with an embedded green gemstone, inspired by a moment when a disappointed Celtics fan doused LeBron with beer after the game. The Nike LeBron 23 ‘Green With Envy’ combines performance with storytelling like no other colourway in the series.
