The shoes are also upgraded with a crazy blood splatter graphic, some tongue-area patches that point back to the film, and a unique box to tie the whole thing together.

The Nike Zoom Rookie is a sneaker that already did a galaxy thing on a retail release, coming well after the rest of those starry pairs for 2012. This custom take isn’t really a straight on version of that theme though. Instead they sort of zoom in on the Nike LeBron 9 “Big Bang” from the All-Star group, taking on the bright orange tones of that sneaker and pairing them up with the whole “Galaxy” thing. See the Gourmet Kickz sneakers in full detail below and tell us if you think they did the aforementioned Nike LeBron 9 justice.
