Nike LeBron 23 "Masked Menace" releases March 24th, 2026

Nike Basketball is releasing the Nike LeBron 23 "Masked Menace" on March 24th, 2026, channeling one of the most memorable on-court visuals from LeBron James' career.

Nike has confirmed the LeBron 23 "Masked Menace" through its official product images, tying the pair directly to the carbon fiber protective mask LeBron James wore in 2014 after breaking his nose. That look became one of the defining visuals of his Miami era, which gives this all-black release a clear piece of signature storytelling before the shoe even hits the floor, in usual Nike fashion.

This pair comes with style code IH1513-004, a reported retail price of $210, and an official “Triple Black” ("Black / Black / Black") color scheme. The upper leans into a carbon-fiber-inspired texture across the shell and tongue, while tonal black laces, a mini metallic Swoosh, and a smoky outsole keep the finish stealthy. Gold accents on the LeBron tongue badge and hardware sharpen the theme, and the sculpted heel construction continues the armored look that fits the "Masked Menace" nickname.
