Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 4/17 – 4/23

Weekly Rewind Summary 4 23

The past week of all-things-sneakers started off with an Empire State of Mind; Jay-Z was spotted at Coachella, while the annual Jordan Brand Classic went down at the Garden last Saturday. We were treated to quite a showcase of kicks, as two new colorways of the Air Jordan 2010 were revealed and a number of NY-based celebrities wore some heat. On the Nike SB side of things, SB had its first big release of the year in the Dunk High Skunks and we got our first look at the Koston Dunk High. Sneaker News also brought you an exclusive teaser of an Air Jordan IX Retro that had gone completely under the radar. And finally, we gave our loyal readers a chance to show off their heat, as the WDWYT feature of Sneaker News launched with great success. New York City never sleeps and neither does the world of kicks, so stop in and re-energize yourself with all that’s been going.
