Lebron James has long been the king of the court, and it seems he may soon be the king of the board game, as well.
A collaboration with Nike, Hasbro, and Jame’s marketing team Victory Creative Group launched Monopoly: Leborn James Luxury Edition. The game, which is gold and silver foil-stamped, honors James’ career as he enters his 22nd year in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Players will journey across the Monopoly board starting in Akron, Ohio, eventually landing in Los Angeles, California.Â
On Natinoal Monopoly Day Nov. 19, the board will be on display at an event for children from James’ I Promise School. The event, which will be at House 330 in Akron, will focus on using Hasbro’s classic Monopoly game as a tool for promoting financial literacy among children.

While the Monopoly game has all the classic rules and gameplay, pretty much everything else is renovated with a complete LeBron twist. Instead of the classic railroads, the locations on the board represent James’ four NBA Championships. The tokens include James’ Nike shoe, James’ jersey, a Nike basketball with James’ logo, a lion, and a crown. There is also a blue-plated token that represents James’ latest signature shoe, the LeBron XXII.
For fans who cannot get enough of this crossover, Â Nike and Hasbro are releasing two new editions of the latest LeBron XXII shoe: the Currency, featuring Monopoly money, and the Token, featuring a Monopoly token theme. While it is unknown when the board game will be available to the public, the shoes will be available at Nike retailers starting today and on nike.com starting Nov. 19.
The game also has iconic features, such as clear acrylic dice with gold pips and die-cast metal LeBron James logo hotels.
