Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 1/5 – 1/11

Weekly Rewind 1 11

With 2012 in our rear-view mirror, we’re ready to take on 2013 with double the enthusiasm for sneakers. We got a first look at the 2013 Year of the Snake Collection by Nike as well as a few Black History Month editions set to hit stores within the next two months. A sick Air Jordan XI Low is confirmed for the Summer, while a new Barkley with All-Star allusions was revealed. The ‘Home’ KD V got some nice attention, as did a slew of Snake-inspired Kobe 8s. A release date for the Suns Foamposites was revealed, Brett Favre’s Zoom Turf Jet ’97 made a return to retail, and the next P-Rod was teased as well.

NBA ballers continued their impressive showcase with Thomas Robinson stealing the spotlight with his Air Flightposite One. Tim Tebow’s Nike shoe got a first look, as did official images of the highly-anticipated Reebok Kamikaze II. A slew of collaborations got some notice as well, like Slam Jam’s Asics Gel Lyte III, Packer Shoes’ Top Ten 2000s for Iman Shumpert, and a Herschel Supply Co. partnership with New Balance. A slew of Air Jordan PEs and Samples got our attention, like a surprising Air Jordan XVI Low that was intended for a Fall 2012 release. Finally, Sneaker Con celebrated its first event in Atlanta, which we got a full recap of below. Check out all of Sneaker News Weekly Rewind and stay tuned for the best in sneaker news!
