Nike Zoom Rookie LWP ‘Blackout’ – New Images

Any basketball sneaker worth its salt is bound to end up in a blackout colorway, and in the case of one of Nike Sportswear’s finest hybrid designs to date, it just happens to be a bit more expressive than on most. That’s because the Nike Zoom Rookie LWP‘s black and Anthracite colorup has so much shine on its Foamposite sections, that they give off the sense of being cast in a mineral straight from the earth. So in the right light, these are one of the ‘brightest’ blackout sneakers in recent memory, but in other conditions they’re as dark as a coal mine. This new set of images, then, is something like a canary to notify you that something big is coming up soon; heed the call and click through to see more, and stick with Sneaker News for word on the US release date. via Air-Randy
