A Zoom KD IV inspired by meterology, a whole pack of Zoom Kobe VIIs dedicated to deadly predators and now a Nike LeBron 9 ‘Big Bang’ colorway — anyone care to venture a guess the Color, Graphics and Materials Team over at Nike Basketball has been watching a bunch of the Science Channel lately? We saw a pronounced shift toward college-themed releases when the NBA and its PA couldn’t get their act together during the early fall, and this same kind of looking beyond the bounds of your everyday average NBA signature sneaker likely played a role in getting all these wildly inventive new looks to market. The ‘Big Bang’ LeBron 9 is arguably the most intense of all these colorways, a blazing mix of orange and red that features more little details than any release this side of Freegums’ doodle-heavy design. Sneaker News readers seem particularly jazzed about the galaxy represented on this pair‘s shank plate and insole, but that’s taking nothing away from the novelty of a sewn-on tongue tag. Click through and you’ll see all of these and more, and be sure to check back with us periodically for updates including word on their availability. via SoleWings
