It was quite a momentous week over at Sneaker News; we brought you two exclusive looks at an upcoming Air Max 24/7 and Air Jordan 2010 Team, as well as an in-depth interview with one of Nike’s progressive designers. The stars came out of the woodwork with some serious heat, as QB’s finest Nas, Ciara, and Yankees ace C.C. Sabathia presented some heat from their closets. Over on the NBA court, LeBron, NateRob, and D-Wade sported some great colorways to coincide with the NBA Green Week effort, all of which might’ve been overshadowed by Stephen Jackson’s Space Jam XI. And finally, after weeks of fan voting and reader response, the Air Jordan XI came out on top in the inaugural Sneaker News March Madness Sneaker Tournament. Did you miss a beat? It’s all good. Stop in and check out what you might’ve missed.
