Nike takes over for Reebok as the official supplier of NFL licensed apparel shortly after the Super Bowl in February; do they have similar plans to influence the NBA’s jerseys starting with that league’s All-Star Game a week later? Nike Basketball’s latest revelations fly in the face of the traditional East blue/West red color configuration, with the related Zoom Kobe VII going for black with a multicolored array of accents as this Nike LeBron 9 ‘Big Bang’ centers its otherworldly aesthetic on the ‘other’ coast. A firey orange upper and glow in the dark translucent outsole are sure to draw attention at the ASG in Orlando irrespective of their congruency with the Eastern Conference unis; will you find a place in your wardrobe for one of the more inventive colorways we’ve seen applied to the LeBron 9? Let us know with a comment as you click through to see a series of new images and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date because if history holds true, it won’t be very long now at all. via Sole Awesome

they look alright.. the silhouette is cool but the color has nothing to do with "the Big Bang" they should have added more color to incorporate the theme more.
January 10th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
FIRST!!! … LOL but i cant wait till dese is on my feet
January 10th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
best colorway in my opinion, China's were dope, but the the concept and detail including the glow in dark sole are over the top for this shoe. Remember when ppl were bashing the 9s model, saying it was whack/ugly etc now its a totally different story lol

January 10th, 2012 at 5:09 pm

man cant wait to have these bad boys on my feet…………….
January 10th, 2012 at 5:35 pm
glow in the dark sole=swag
January 10th, 2012 at 5:55 pm
The glow-in-the-dark is sick but they just kind of look loud for the sake of loud. Not as clean as the Chinas.
January 10th, 2012 at 6:38 pm
If they put the glow in the dark sole on the Chinas they would blow these away! No contest.
January 10th, 2012 at 6:41 pm
I was just thinkin the same thing… How many people said they "weren't copping any Lebron's this year? But im not gonna lie. They are surprising the hell outta me.
January 10th, 2012 at 6:43 pm
I agree. Said that when i first saw em. Got 30 thumbs down lol people be hatin on here.
January 10th, 2012 at 7:03 pm
Yeah like you said, In certain situations like this its not always the shape/design of the shoe, its the colorways and details. And this shoe has very nice details and has that shocking orange to make people turn their heads.
January 10th, 2012 at 7:05 pm
too much orange but they are defintely a summertime shoe
January 10th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
The "Big Bang Theory" explains how our galaxy was formed after an explosion, so how does this orange flame looking colorway not tie in with the theme? If anything, these were the most well executed pair of the pack.
January 10th, 2012 at 7:55 pm
These are one of the best jordans michael jordan made here. Even though he's a sorry slut, these orange retro 7's are kickin!
January 10th, 2012 at 7:57 pm
