It doesn’t stand a chance to win sneaker of the year going heads-up against the favorites Nike Mag 2011 and Air Jordan XI Retro ‘Concord’, but is there any doubt that the Nike Zoom Rookie is the most impressive hybrid design we’ve seen this year? Not only is this mashup of the Go Flight LWP, Air Flight 1 and Air Foamposite One absolutely perfect in its combo construction, but there are enough impressive colorups on the way to suit anyone’s taste. The latest would do perfectly with a late October release, and with the House of Hoops-exclusive tag rumored to carry along with it a limited run of 666 pairs, these might very well come out on top of next month’s list. Have a closer look at the black and Max Orange Zoom Rookie after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date. via osneaker
