The Nike LeBron 22 "Dunkman" is finally here, and it's just in time for the NBA postseason.

First teased earlier this year, the "Dunkman" made its arrival on Tuesday night, as it was LeBron James' shoe of choice for game two of their first round matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. A revamped iteration of the original LeBron 22 with silver and green accents as the standout. Aside from the tan upper and green color placements, the silhouette features the tomahawk dunk logo on the side, and is equipped with Nike's extra durable rubber, making it a great performance shoe thanks to its grip and traction.

The "Dunkman" has an anticipated release date of May 1. Priced at $180, it will be available via Nike SNKRS and select retailers. What's more, the shoes apparently have a glow-in-the-dark rubber outsole as well. Aside from James wearing his new kicks, game two was packed out with the celebrities from top to bottom.

Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin were among the celebs who pulled up to the Crypto Arena to watch the Lakers victory. Sitting courtside, the couple showed off their custom Lakers jerseys, posing for pictures and smiling brightly. Aside from the custom jerseys they showed off, Song was also spotted wearing a black Lakers jersey with number 8 on it—an homage to the number the great Kobe Bryant sported during the first half of his career. 

Game three of Lakers vs Timberwolves will take place on Friday, April 25 at 9:30pm EST.
