Nike and Hasbro collaborate over Limited-Edition LeBron themed Monopoly Game

Posted on by

Footwear icon Nike and the creators of the classic Monopoly game set, Hasbro, have come into a special collaboration to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the board game on November 19 with a limited-edition Monopoly game set themed after the basketball legend LeBron James. Dubbed LeBron 22, the game set is fine memorabilia for both sports and Monopoly fans across all age groups.

The board game, with a fresh twist, is not a solitary-themed item born out of this collaboration that no one saw coming. Anyway, comes along with exclusive LeBron sneakers inspired by the Monopoly’s design elements. The game set on the other hand comes with LeBron-themed playing pieces including rings, basketballs, sneakers, and jerseys that take the gameplay to the next level of fandom.

Designer: Nike x Hasbro

Hasbro x Nike Monopoly-themed speakers come in two distinct designs. The Currency and Token. While the first is inspired by the graphic approach of the money in the game of Monopoly, the latter is envisioned after the game tokens in luxurious blue and gold floral print. Both have their own journey and style but live up to the common goal of celebrating LeBron’s admirable gameplay and lifestyle, and Monopoly’s iconic status. The Currency colorway is ready to drop on November 15 with Token arriving on the 19th.

Aside from the release of the game of Monopoly and the thematic sneakers, Nike and Hasbro plan on bringing the LeBron 22 Monopoly Game Set to LeBron James’ House Three Thirty community center in Akron, OH, to celebrate Monopoly Day on November 19. Along with a life-size version of the game being hosted at LeBron’s I Promise School where sixth to eighth-grade students will have a chance to experience Monopoly in a brand-new avatar. The idea of the large game board is to promote financial literacy with interactive gameplay.

This Wooden-Edition Monopoly Board is Beautiful Enough to Pass Down to Your Grandchildren

An upper-class version of the capitalist’s favorite board game!

The Monopoly Heirloom Edition is a sumptuous reimagining of the classic game. Its solid wood case, elegantly combining rosewood, walnut, and maple inlays, doesn’t just scream quality—it serenades it. This isn’t your typical cardboard and plastic setup. It’s a striking, handcrafted ensemble that includes a wooden banker’s tray, plated die-cast metal tokens, Monopoly money, wood houses and hotels, and custom foil-stamped Chance and Community Chest cards.

The board itself, a delightful blend of walnut cabinet and tiger maple and rosewood veneers, is not just a playing surface but a centerpiece that demands attention. Measuring a substantial 23″ wide x 24″ deep x 4″ high and weighing a hefty 17 pounds, it’s clear that this edition of Monopoly is built to last and to be cherished through generations. My one complaint? It isn’t foldable or travel-friendly.

But it’s not just about aesthetics. This Heirloom Edition is a nod to the timeless appeal of Monopoly, a game that has transcended generations, outliving fleeting gaming trends. Each set, with its rich hardwoods and veneers, gets heirloom status, allowing it to be used, cherished, retained, and passed down from one generation to another (quite like Jumanji but without any of the sci-fi drama). The inclusion of a storage drawer and built-in banker’s tray speaks to the thoughtfulness put into its design, ensuring that all the game components are neatly stored and easily accessible.
