Just last night, Sneaker News brought up the discussion of a potential release of the Red AirYeezy 2 (or a third colorway release in general). One of the reasons behind these blooming theories is that a number of samples like the red and the “oreo” version hit the internet newswire, and this latest revelation of a “Blackout” sample only adds fuel to the flame. Of course, nothing is confirmed regarding another Air Yeezy 2 release, and this Blackout Air Yeezy 2 sample, shown to us by Young Jeezy’s production coordinator DJ Folk, may be just an early mock-up (a lot of early wear-test samples are made in tonal black colorways – think the LeBron XI). In any case, this new Air Yeezy 2 brings the discussion to light again: is another Air Yeezy 2 release in the works?

Perhaps one of the most painstaking releases in Nike history was the Nike Air Yeezy 2 in 2012. Some may postulate that Nike’s Twitter RSVP system was created just to counter the seemingly limitless crowds that would undoubtedly show at storefronts, and although independently owned shops did not employ their own “Twitter RSVP”, Nike did encourage each store to use a raffle-style release in order to minimize the camp-out craze. Two colorways of the Air Yeezy 2 came and went, and considering the original Air Yeezy released in three versions, many believed that a third Air Yeezy 2 colorway was in the works – especially with that curious “Kobe” colorway in purple/red/volt still swimming around the net and Gentry Humphrey himself coolly mentioned that “things are still in the works”. With that said, the excitement around the Air Yeezy 2 has never waned, but recent events have propelled this discussion topic back to the surface. Tonight’s topic on What Do You Think?: What could the release of the red Nike Air Yeezy 2 colorway mean for the sneaker game and how will it go down?

Size? has selected these two great colorways as exclusives to their shop – a cream-based color and a tonal-black with a shiny leather upper.

The outpour of Air Jordan IV Retro colorways in a year intended for its successor continues to leave us on the edges or seats as we get a look at the Air Jordan IV “Red Tongue”. You might be reminded of that PE colorway that Jordan Brand athlete Chris Paul wore during a bowling outing as this new colorways also mixes grey, black, red, and blue, but there are a few discrepancies between the two as this latest version uses blacked-out netting and the highlighted “red tongue” whereas CP3s were an alternate color-blocking. As always, Sneaker News will be first to let you know of any release info, so take a look at the full shot below and stay tuned.

A little bit of light is finally shed on the release dates for the Nike LeBron X EXT pairs coming this summer. You know, the Nike LeBron X “Black/Mint”, the Nike LeBron X “Denim”, and the Nike LeBron X “Brown Suede”. After some switched around release information, it appears that we’ve finally pinned down when the sneakers will be arriving at European shops (All of which are subject to change as usual). The black/mint will be first up with its June 10th drop, followed by the denim on June 22nd, and the brown suede on July 6th. Most of those make sense except for the June 10th, which is a Monday-so we wouldn’t be surprised if that pair showed up the previous/following Saturday. Continue reading for another look at each and keep in mind that the US dates have so far lined up with those abroad on pairs like these. Also, if you don’t feel like waiting then grab check out each of them available now from ronimo1989 on eBay.
