We hope you’re seated as you’re reading this latest Sneaker News Weekly Rewind. All the big stories that surfaced were not for the meek of heart, so if you happened to miss out on any of the big news, be prepared. Starting off with Air Jordan news, Sneaker News confirmed the release of the Air Jordan X ‘Chicago’ for Spring 2012 and also gave you a look at a sample of the upcoming White/Cement IV. The Nubuck sample of the Air Jordan III also stirred up quite a debate as well. Some samples of OGs also made noise, like the unreleased White/Bright Cactus Air Jordan VIII Low that was scheduled for an early 2008 release. Nike SB made a big splash as well, as we learned of the collaboration between Doug Ellin, creator of the hit show Entourage, and the Nike SB Dunk Low. The 2011 Finals ended this week, with Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks triumphing over LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and the Miami Heat.
Other Nike news included the 40th birthday of the Swoosh, originally created by Carolyn Davidson for a mere $2 an hour. We brought you a look at some upcoming Nike Basketball kicks, like the Air Shox Hyperballer, Hyperforce 2011, and other Spring 2012 releases. It was another big week for celebrities in Air Jordans, with Ludacris, Wiz Khalifa, and Kid Cudi making appearances. The Supra Skytop III, Chad Muska’s signature shoe, was officially unveiled this week in four colorways as well. Sneaker Con NYC is tomorrow at noon, so if you’re one of the many NYC-based Sneaker News readers, be sure to show up tomorrow with your heat! And finally, Sneaker News hit you with another Weekly Buyer’s Guide, laying out all of the new releases this week. Check out the rest of the Sneaker News Weekly Rewind below and get caught up!

The Air Jordan III True Blue released just two weeks ago, but if you’ve got infants in the 0-6 month age bracket, here’s some True Blue Baby Socks! Sneaker News has kept you updated before on Air Jordan Baby Socks, and we’re certainly keeping it topical as the new releases match the latest Air Jordans, so it’s about time we got our hands on some True Blue versions. But wait, there’s more! The White/Cements that dropped in January, the Wolf Grey V, and the upcoming ‘Steaths’ and Black/Cement are available as well. If you need these for your little budding Jordanheads, you can find these at select retailers, so keep your eye out for these sick sock heaters! For an extra treat, check out the True Blue Love Story video after the jump!

Last week Sneaker News gave you an advanced look at the new Foot Locker House of Hoops in Southlake Mall in Atlanta, GA. This coming Tuesday (June 21st) will be the Grand Opening event for the new location – a standalone House of Hoops situated right next to the existing Foot Locker inside the mall. The event will be hosted by ATF Crew member DJ Greg Street and DJ Infamous of V-103, with a special appearance being made by Josh Powell of the Atlanta Hawks. Some special kicks will be there for a taking (older retros!) so come prepared for the Grand Opening Event this Tuesday, June 21st!

2011 is the year of the Air Jordan III, but thankfully Jordan Brand hasn’t kept it exclusive that just one Air Jordan shoe. In fact, 2011 will hold plenty of the Air Jordan Retro releases, like the Air Jordan VII, to which we’ve already received a number of new releases like the Orion Blue and Year of the Rabbit. For mid-June (the end of the school year for some), Jordan Brand will drop an OG Air Jordan colorway – the Air Jordan VII in White/Cardinal Red-Black-Bronze. You may or may not remember Mike rocking these nearly two decades ago, and you may or may not have copped these back in 2006. In any combination of scenarios, the Cardinal VII is a must-have, so check your local Jordan Brand spot like the newly re-opened Moe’s Sneaker Spot or get a pair now on eBay.

We’ve seen mids, velcro lows and even a new variant with traditional boat shoe heel lacing, but what about the original Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski? The OG Janoskis will join these other new editions with a slate of new releases in 2012, the first quarter of which we previewed about two weeks ago. A key part of that group is this new Zoom Stefan Janoski SB in a golden shade dubbed Hay, a suede model that adds black accents and a white vulc sole to complete its look. Click through for more, let us know how these compare to the ever-expanding list of upcoming Stefan Janoski pro models and stick with Sneaker News for word on their release. via N-SB.

Nike’s successful Lunar technology has permeated all categories of Nike performance footwear, beginning with running and spreading to basketball and even outdoor activity. The Nike Lunar Elite Trail Mid, which debuted last year, was a trail-ready high-top form of the Nike Lunar Elite running shoe, constructed with rugged materials like weather-proof canvas, suede, nylon, and mesh materials, and just missed the cut for the Sneaker News Top 30 Sneakers of 2010. These two new colorways of the Nike Lunar Elite Trail builds on the already popular catalog of great releases; one in Silver, Orange, and Obsidian as well as a Black, Orange, and Blue colorway will hit stores later this year. Check out the detailed images of both colorways and let us know which of the two you like better. via step-japan.

Recently Sneaker News reported the release of the ‘Lightning’ colorway of the Nike Air Trainer SC High. Also arriving is a similar color-up of White, Dark Grey, and Volt, but not of the Air Trainer SC High, but the latest Nike Trainer to have spawned from the OG Trainer – the Nike Trainer 1.3. It comes sans-forefoot strap and with a 180-degree Max Air unit with a Flywire-stabilized outrigger and a rugged outsole suitable for any type of athletic activity. The colorway of White/Grey/Volt is nothing new to sing about, yet it appears fresh on any Nike silhouette. Expect this version of the Nike Trainer 1.3 to hit stores this Winter at retailers like Eastbay, so take a look at the detailed images below and let us know what you think.

By the name of this latest release from Nike Sportswear, you might assume they’d be welcome anywhere a racquet sport is played, but there’s no denying they’re also perfectly timed with the all-white festivities at London’s All England Club about to commence. And while these new Nike All Court Twist Tier Zero releases don’t actively incorporate the Wimbledon theme, one look at these white canvas kicks on a grass surface will complete the connection. The tongue tags, foxing bands and sockliners separate two similar pairs, with one going for gold and the other adding purple hits, both of which you can see in more photos after the jump. Let us know which one you prefer and stick with Sneaker News for updates including their US release date. via Kasina

Summer has officially hit the NYC area, so let’s kick it off right with Sneaker Con NYC! Home to the biggest and baddest sneaker convention known to man, Sneaker Con NYC is the one-stop-shop for buying, selling, trading, and admiring today’s most coveted sneakers and vintage gear. Of course, adidas is back at it again with a sick new adidas Originals NYC t-shirt, and plenty of other sponsors will be there as well. There will also be an awesome custom lasered lace-lock booth where you can personalize your own lace-locks. Admission is $12 and the doors open at noon, but be prepared for a long wait because we’re expecting a bigger turn-out than the last Sneaker Con NYC! Remember to rock heat and come with cash/kicks ready!

Shawn Stussy’s namesake brand just unveiled its latest collaboration with Vans, but what about the Nike Sportswear tag team effort we previewed back in April? The Stussy x Nike Sky Force 88 Mid is back with a new round of images and some details regarding the four-pack’s release. We say four because that’s how many pairs showed up in the aforementioned initial preview, though the grey pair with its purple camo details comes off so much lighter than in the other images that we’re either looking at a change or perhaps a fifth member of the group. The blacked-out edition remains the same and you can see more images of both after the jump, then be sure to stick with Sneaker News for updates in advance of the July 9th release date. via Nike Stadium
