Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 1/16 -1/22

weekly-rewind-summary-1-22

Welcome to our new Weekly Rewind segment, offering a chance to look back at some of the biggest stories of the past week. This week was packed with great content mostly coming from the basketball end of the spectrum. The biggest splash was made by the recent K-Pals exhibit, which offered us a seemingly never-ending supply of looks at one of the most jaw-dropping collections of basketball kicks ever seen. With All-Star Weekend right around the corner, the NBA has been heating up with some eye-catching new kicks on the feet of some of the game’s biggest stars. Also on the basketball front, we learned of the return of the Eggplant Foamposite, as well as a luxurious new croc-skinned Air Jordan II colorway. Nike SB also made some noise with the out-of-nowhere QS drop of two LOST-inspired models and a look forward at some upcoming products from their Winter 2010 collection. Keep reading for a look back at all these stories and more as Sneaker News gets you all caught up on the latest happenings in the world of kicks.
