This week in Sneaker News was filled with breaking news, never-before-seen samples, the hottest upcoming releases, and some dope collaborations. Starting off with Jordan Brand, Sneaker News gave you a look at the Air Jordan 1 designed by Dave White, for the Jordan Brand WINGS for the Future program. We also showed you two new Air Jordan 2011 colorways displayed at a Jordan Brand pop-up exhibit at Footaction. With the 2011 NBA All-Star Game just days away, Sneaker News offered a full review of all the Nike/Jordan All-Star kicks, detailing each All-Star player and the shoes they will be wearing for the big game. Kobe Bryant’s ‘Chaos’ colorway of the VI was detailed during the week, while an all-new Black/Red version of the LeBron 8 P.S. made its world premiere.
Plenty of NBA and Celebrity Feet action went down, with Gilbert Arenas wearing a pair of Military IVs, Kanye West wearing Infrared VIs, and Pharrell wearing South Beach LeBron 8s. Swizz Beatz made his official debut with Reebok, while another collaboration between Undefeated and Puma made news this last week. Another partnership that was once placed in the backburner was thrust back into the spotlight, as the EA Sports x Zoom KD III was released this week at Nike Santa Monica. The Nike iD options list just got a lot sweeter with the return of the Air Force 1, an expanded list of options for the Air Max 90, and a new color palette of the Air Max 95. Staying on the topic of Air Max, Sneaker News showed you a nice recap of Solemart Eindhoven, which shed light on the high influence of Air Max trainers (or runners) on the European sneaker game. And finally, Sneaker News presented the next installment of Michael Jordan Through The Years, placing a focus on the Air Jordan XIII. Check out all the top news of the week by reading ahead to the latest Sneaker News Weekly Rewind.
