A SHOW CALLED KICKS.

NIKE LEBRON 9 “WEATHERMAN” CUSTOM BY SAB-ONE

When Kevin Durant’s “Weatherman” colorway for the Nike Zoom KDIV came out, it was predicted by some to be the next “NERF” or “South Beach” in color flip customs, but quickly slipped under the radar (no pun intended) when the “Galaxy” phenomenon swept the community. Some of the bigger names in customs didn’t forget this highly compelling makeup, and Sab-One recently took to a staple in color flips to show how well it could cross over. His Lebron 9 custom matches the color palette almost perfectly, and recreated the Doppler Radar pattern on the ankle and inside the shoe. 

Sab works almost exclusively in one-offs, but you can ask for your own at his site.

NIKE ZOOM KD IV “AUNT PEARL”

Durant is killing it in the Playoffs so far. But the dominant forward has a soft side, as well, and his signature shoes have always displayed that. The Nike Zoom KD IV is full of touches like his parents’ names and that of a childhood coach, but the newest colorway of the sneaker really shows how much of a softy the big guy really is. The new “Aunt Pearl” design is named after the star’s Aunt who was taken by breast cancer.

The all-pink upper is reminiscent of the Think Pink breast cancer initiative, while a print of pearls sits on the heel with obvious allusions. The shoes will drop everywhere on May 12th.
