As part of Nike's stacked lineup for NBA All-Star weekend, the brand unveiled a new take on the Nike Air Max 720, dubbed the "Saturn." This hightop sneaker looks like it is something out of The Jetsons if they were all race car drivers. There have only been a few colorways of the shoe so far, although the brand is looking to expand on the selection consumers can expect from the new model. One of the colorways that will be dropping soon features some familiar colors alongside some pretty interesting graphics.

The zipper, Air Max unit and straps all come in a shattered backboard orange, while the tongue and rest of the upper come in black. While this may sound basic, it isn't. Etched all the way throughout the upper are images of basketball players going to grab the ball and going for the rim. All of the animations are done in an Anime aesthetic that will surely appeal to fans of both basketball and Japanese animation.

For those who are looking to cop these wild looking sneakers, there is no release information just yet, although these should be dropping in April for $200 USD according to Sneaker News.
