NBA All-Stars LeBron James (@KingJames), Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5), and Kobe Bryant will be donning space themed Nike shoes for the Feb 26 2012 NBA All-Star Game in Orlando. The shoes are styled after NASA space suits and inspired by astronauts.
Nike is saying these shoes are galactic themed, which they said in a statement will "pay homage to the supernova — arguably the most powerful force in the universe."
The outsoles of each shoe glow in the dark and mission patches, similar to astronaut mission badges, adorn each shoe (right).
The new space themed shoes are the LeBron 9, Nike Zoom KD IV and Nike Zoom Kobe VII System shoes. The new style has been introduced to the Nike Dunk, Nike Flight One, and Nike Foamposite One models.
The new Space Exploration style will be released by Nike on February 23 2012 and the new basketball models will be released on February 25 2012, the day before the NBA All-Star Game.
