Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 4/7 – 4/13

Weekly Rewind 4 13

Air Jordan news always makes headlines, but the top stories of this cycle easily go to Spike Lee, as his Spiz’ike and Son Of Mars made the most eye-catching headlines (think Nike iD and ‘Bordeaux’). The Air Foamposite continues to be a popular discussion topic as Gentry Humphrey confirms four Foamposite releases for 2012, which we followed up with news of the I-95 Posite Max and Air Max Hyperposite. Let’s transition from ‘Posite’ to ‘Penny’, because we got a great look at the upcoming ‘Miami’ Penny V on the feet of Wale. Now going from ‘Miami’ to ‘LeBron’, the Bumblebee/Bruce Lee/Taxi LeBron 9 Elite buzz carried over from the week before, while a detailed look at the Nike N7 colorways of the KD IV had people excited yet again.

In Retro news, the Air Force 1 ‘Camo’ was revealed to be NSW’s next big Air Force 1 release, while confirmation of a Air Trainer 1 ‘Chlorophyll’ retro made OG-fanatics crack a smile. Missoni and Converse hook up yet again for a fifth overall Chuck Taylor go-around, while a detailed look at the 24 Kilates x Asics Gel Saga makes the case for ‘best Asics collaboration of the year’ so far. Reebok made some headway with the return of the DMX 10 Run, while the super-limited John Wall PE dubbed ‘Beyond The Gold’ released this week at Packer Shoes. One of our favorite categories known as the Air Jordan OG/PE/Sample grouping, we caught a look at an unreleased UNDFTD x Air Jordan IV sample and perhaps the first B-Grade Air Jordan in history. More to review below, so check out this week’s Weekly Rewind to be on top of the latest in the sneaker game.
