Nike’s “Galaxy” theme has long been synonymous with the NBA’s All-Star festivities. Dating back to 2012 when the Air Foamposite One famously debuted its glowing galactic theme, since that time galaxy-inspired sneakers have released with great frequency come February.
This year looks to be no different as Shoe Palace has confirmed the retro release of a Nike Zoom Rookie “Galaxy” edition. The Penny Hardaway classic resurfaced last year when a “Glow in the Dark” pair released to wide acclaim. A “Galaxy” retro, however, is an even greater force.
Carrying the same sartorial strategy as the aforementioned Foamposite One, the solar system focused look is placed atop a glow-in-the-dark outsole for ripeness. You can expect this release on February 22, just a few days following NBA All-Star Weekend. Yet don’t be surprised of the shoe is available during the events in Charlotte at select retailers.
Update 2/15: Another Look at the Nike Zoom Rookie “Galaxy” set to release on February 22 for $220 USD at premium retailers like Politics.
