Nike Air Zoom BB NXT “Heat Map” Drops December 1st

Nike was founded in experimentation. It’s so ingrained in their DNA, that still, 56 years later, the brand continues to push the boundaries in footwear. But it’s not just running that’s at the forefront of performance; their other big performer — basketball — has been leading all brand in the category for decades, and in 2020, they’re taking leveling up with the Nike Air Zoom BB NXT. The new React and Zoom-loaded silhouette has been privy to some pretty creative colorways in its short span, with this next heat map-inspired option one of the most audacious yet.

Like its titular matter, the pair sports bleeding gradient uppers of red, orange, purple, and green to mimic that of thermal imaging — though it’s not entirely random. Central lines sport a cooling blue-green mix that enables the overlaying iridescent Swoosh to pop amidst the warming hues of the upper’s extremities. Encasing the heated hues is a staunch black and dark royal, the former found at the tongue, collar, and React midsoles, while the latter rounds out the design at the liner and slightly-translucent rubber outsole.

Though a release date for the pair remains a mystery, official imagery now available indicates that a release is imminent. So grab a detailed look at the release while we await further updates, and keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for future developments.
