Patrick Ewing has remained very much involved in the Ewing Athletics revival. When the Ewing 33 Hi first hit at a handful of stores in the greater NY the New York Knicks legend was there, signing sneakers and meeting with the fans who turned out in droves to support. He popped up once again over the weekend, hanging out at Palace 5ive in Washington DC to celebrate the release of the Ewing 33 Hi “Georgetown” colorway. Continue reading to see some shots from the event, which also included a surprise appearance from Biz Markie, and stick with us for any and all news on Ewing Athletics.

The man responsible for one of 2012′s best retros returned to the place it all started last night, as Patrick Ewing rocked a familiar design from his signature line at Madison Square Garden. The Hall of Fame Knicks center sported his Ewing 33 Hi in blue suede, one of the more recent among four original colorways issued over the past four months. Also notable from last night’s victory over the crosstown rival Nets, the appearance of the 33 Hi at the Madison Concourse in MSG. Ewing Athletics noted their availability as of gametime, but how long will this highly coveted classic last in the city where it’s more beloved than any other?

Last Friday, three high profile NY area shops raised the ante for the eagerly anticipated Ewing 33 Hi comeback by hosting Patrick Ewing in-store for the retro launch. In addition to Kith and West, we’ve gotta give a special tip of the hat to Packer Shoes, one of the few retailers that have been in business long enough to have actually stocked the original go-round of Ewing footwear. Along with the first two colorways available for purchase, Packer Shoes was decked out in Knicks regalia, from shirts to jerseys to fitteds, with one dedicated attendee even upping the bar with his Ewing haircut paying homage to the brand and man of the hour. Click through for the full photo recap from the Packer Shoes x Ewing Athletics launch event and stay tuned to Sneaker News for word on when and where the Ewing 33 Hi will become more widely available coming soon.

The long awaited release of the Ewing 33 Hi is finally upon us, with the first two colorways of the sneaker making their way into some select spots in the NY/NJ area as of this morning. Of course we mentioned yesterday that the sneakers were set to drop at a staggered pace: 11am at Kith, 1pm at West and 4pm at Packer Shoes. Sure enough the schedule has coincided with that of Patrick Ewing himself, who has so far stopped by each for a meet and greet while this next wave of his sneaker legacy is launched for the public. Stay with us after the jump to check out eleven time NBA All-Star Patrick Ewing chilling with the eager sneaker fiends at Kith Manhattan and keep in mind you might still be able to spot him during the day if you’re out hunting for the Ewing 33 Hi.

Patrick Ewing told the world that his Dream Team would win “10 out of 10″ against the reigning Olympic champions, but the cited size advantage is among the key reasons this Hall of Fame center’s sneakers haven’t aged like Barkley, Pippen or Jordan’s. Historically, ‘big men’ shoes just haven’t sold as well as perimeter players’ (though to be fair, Ewing’s mid-’80s adidas Attitude and Conductors are still thriving), but just as the twentieth anniversary of the Dream Team and a still surging interest in kicks made for so many dope retros, the time is right for Ewing’s namesake brand to resurrect its most famous silhouette. The Ewing Athletics 33 High returns with both the white and the red of the original 1990 colorways next Friday, August 31st (the blue and black have yet to get a release date), but with only six NY-area retailers getting limited numbers to start, will you be able to get in on this long-lusted bringback?

Patrick Ewing has officially reached his golden years as the former NBA great and New York Knicks center celebrated his 50th Birthday yesterday. The timing’s perfect as we are all anticipating a return of the Ewing Athletics line of sneakers, which is slated for a release later this month. Ewing’s decision to bring his signature brand back could not have come at a more opportune time with Retro basketball sneakers at an all-time high and the demand for vintage pieces like the Ewing growing by the day. Yesterday, Ewing Athletics, Patrick’s fans and some notable sneaker figureheads like Fat Joe, Chi McBride (from his pal p_e_gee), and DJ Clark Kent, gave birthday shout-outs to Mr. Ewing himself with the latter trio showing off the Ewing logo tees that were also given away to a few Twitter followers yesterday. We can only wait patiently for the official return in stores, starting with the Ewing 33 Hi, so for now check out the shirts and send out a birthday shout-out of your own to @EwingAthletics!
