Nike Zoom Rookie LWP “Galaxy” – New Images
August 17th, 2012 by Aaron Hope | 15 comments

The most recent pair of ‘Galaxy’ Nike Zoom Rookies we saw earlier this week displayed a soft blue on the Air Flight One-inspired pods as an indication that they glow in the dark just like the sole on February’s legendary Air Foamposite One. And just when you think that an early production model might reveal the final result, the same retailer known for getting its hands on heat months before everyone else shows us a different build. This ‘Galaxy’ Zoom Rookie opts for black pods instead, which has a nice balancing effect but might not be quite as exciting as either the other pair’s blue ‘natural’ state (and definitely can’t outshine the GITD capability). Still, it’s not simply cramming a bunch of details into a single sneaker that makes for a standout, and the Zoom Rookie itself represents a shining example of how to gracefully combine selections from a buffet of tasty details. So you make the call, Sneaker News readers: glow-in-the-dark or black pods on the ‘Galaxy’ Zoom Rookie LWP? The latter is depicted in greater detail below, and be sure to stick with us to find out which version releases, and exactly when.

These gonna b a quickstrike....2 prevent any riots but niggas will b niggas
does any1 c sumthing wrong w/ this pic? when they first was shown as the retail shoe, it was suppose 2 have a felt penny i insignia on the tongue instead of the red tag. and a person who had the felt insignia sold them on ebay. so by this pic u r telling me there is 3 "galaxy" rookies coming out? or somebody got some fake 1 or there is a sample version out.
@QuentinNevaletemdwnJones The penny logo is still there. Its behind the nike tag.
@asdfjkln64 ok thnx i notice it now
i want these so bad but i know theyre gona be limited and the mall is gona be super packed
If they make it glow in the dark I would consider copping
I don't like this sneaker but i would rather the glow in the dark pods
they changed the logo on the toungue
gotta go with the glow, it gives it the galaxy in galaxy just a bit more,
