hey what's going on guys uh this is
0:01
tayeeb at hasakix.com and today we're
0:03
going to talk about the nike lebron 9
0:06
big bang the 61st edition of the
0:09
nba all-star weekend took place 10 years
0:11
ago and i was in orlando florida and it
0:14
featured some of the best signature
0:16
shoes out of nike the sneaker market had
0:18
ever seen
0:19
and the nike lebron 9 big bang also
0:22
known as the galaxy nines was one of the
0:24
hallmark sneakers released on during the
0:27
weekend ever since then nike has tried
0:29
to replicate the success of the galaxy
0:31
pack but i don't think the brand has
0:33
been able to capture that the big bang 9
0:35
was created with one thing in mind space
0:38
and his name screams just that and the
0:40
designers drew inspiration from the
0:43
universe to build
0:44
a crazy incredible sneaker that captures
0:47
everything about the universe so today
0:48
we're going to look at the history of
0:50
these sneakers and see how they made
0:52
their way from space to the basketball
0:53
court now prior to 2010 the bronze
0:56
signature sneakers were not as sought
0:58
after as jordans i recall going into my
1:00
local dtlr and picking up a pair of the
1:03
lebron seven dunk men so easily but
1:05
everything changed in 2010. lebron 8
1:08
came out and was one of the first
1:10
basketball sneakers to feature fly wire
1:12
material but that's not the real reason
1:14
why the lebron line went ballistic is
1:16
because of the lebron 8 south beach that
1:20
summer everybody remembers the infamous
1:22
decision when lebron james went on
1:24
national tv to broadcast where he was
1:26
going to be playing the following season
1:29
he went to miami and played alongside
1:31
chris bush and dwyane wade and that shoe
1:34
was named the lebron eight south beach
1:37
and everything changed from then on it
1:39
propulsed the lebron line to higher
1:41
levels now following the success of the
1:43
lebron 8 south beach nike's new
1:45
challenge was to keep the lebron line
1:47
relevant and the brand did an excellent
1:49
job at keeping fans on their toes the
1:52
lebron 9 came out in a variety of
1:53
colorways but none of them was able to
1:56
to replicate the success and intensity
1:58
of the lebron eight south beach but all
2:00
things changed again in 2012
2:04
the lebron 9 big bang came into the
2:06
picture jason petry was inspired by
2:09
space and the universe when he designed
2:11
the entire sneaker closing on the shoe
2:14
it was inspired by stars and a planet so
2:17
the designers wanted to build a sneaker
2:19
that would remind people of the endless
2:21
possibilities that exist outside of our
2:23
universe so to me the big bang it
2:26
actually screams the existence of god
2:28
because if you think about it anything
2:30
in the state of inertia tends to stay in
2:33
that set of inertia unless acted upon by
2:36
an outside force so for me when i see
2:38
the big bang lebron 9 i'm thinking there
2:40
is a god and that's actually the truth
2:42
so basically if you look at the outside
2:44
of the shoe
2:45
it's orange and that's reminiscent of
2:48
the the spacesuits astronauts wear when
2:50
they go on their mission but the icing
2:52
on the cake is the outsole of the shoe
2:54
it glows in the dark and that's supposed
2:56
to be representing the milky way galaxy
2:58
now another thing that i wanted to
3:00
mention was the inner liner is again
3:02
built to be reminiscent of the galactic
3:05
theme but then you have uh the full
3:08
length almost full length air unit on
3:10
the out and at the midsole again that's
3:12
for functionality and for cushioning
3:14
nike didn't just create a shoe that
3:15
looks good it's also functional and
3:17
lebron 9 were probably one of the most
3:19
comfortable shoes that was ever created
3:21
but they were a little bit narrow on the
3:23
on the toe area
3:24
now as far as i'm concerned the price is
3:26
a little bit too steep
3:28
when it first came out it was 160 but
3:30
now the shoe was like 240 dollars so
3:33
when i ran the the cpi the inflation
3:36
calculator it was supposed to be costing
3:38
190 so nike hasn't explained why they
3:41
should cost too much money so i don't
3:43
think they do 240 is justified but again
3:45
i know people are going to jump on it
3:46
because it's just a shoe that people
3:48
just want for their collection okay
3:50
and again i did a real versus fake on
3:52
that back in like the 2012 so if you
