Nike Basketball once again leans into post-holiday momentum with a Christmas collection that arrives after the calendar flips. The Nike Basketball 2025 Christmas Collection follows a familiar playbook, targeting gift-card spending while extending the league’s holiday storytelling beyond December 25th.

Although Kobe’s winter-themed Protro pair arrived on Christmas Eve, attention quickly shifts to the LeBron 23 “Stocking Stuffer.” The design blends playful holiday cues, including coal-inspired heel graphics, with subtle nods to LeBron James and his long-standing presence in Christmas Day matchups.

The rest of the lineup connects through a shared “Snowed In” theme. The Ja 3, Giannis Freak 7, KD 18, GT Cut 3, and GT Hustle 3 each use icy palettes, white speckling, and globe-style details. Ja Morant’s Ja 3 stands out visually, pairing neon gradients with crisp white mesh for contrast.

Meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo brings a purple-heavy Freak 7 balanced by seasonal reds and greens along the outsole. The KD 18 takes a quieter route, using light blue tones that feel wearable well beyond December, an approach that suits Kevin Durant’s understated style.

Rounding out the collection, Victor Wembanyama’s GT Hustle 3 arrives in black mesh with snowy wraparound accents and Alien branding. The design mirrors his growing league presence—clean, confident, and instantly recognizable.

The Nike Basketball 2025 Christmas Collection arrives December 26th via Nike.com, closing the holiday season with performance-driven designs built for winter runs and beyond.
