The last week featured a plethora of scene-stealing Sneaker News; on the heels of Kobe’s 5th Championship, we got a first look at LeBron’s eighth signature shoe – until Kobe brought a new colorway of the Zoom Kobe V for the Championship Parade. LeBron’s free-agency in-decision has been the #1 topic in NBA news but a youngster named John Wall has a set future for now, as he was drafted first overall while being chosen to represent the Reebok Basketball label. The celebs were out in full force, as three of the best MC’s of this decade – Kanye, Hova, and Eminem – were out and about in some notable sneakers. Nike SB and Nike Running did what it could to get some notice, as we got a look at some early-2011 Nike SB releases, a sea of Air Max 2011 colorways, and an Air Max 24/7 in a familiar colorway.
But in the end, it was Jordan Brand who stole the spotlight and ruled the week; Sneaker News gave you a look into the next Air Jordan VII Retro and an OG AJ IX while confirming the releases of some big-time retros like Air Jordan III White Cement and the ‘Playoffs’ Air Jordan XIII. But surprisingly, it wasn’t the Retros or even the OG Jordan Brand apparel that caused the most buzz; Sneaker News gave you notice of two Jordan hybrid projects – one involved Air Max and the other a two-model hybrid with Collezione Package pairings. Don’t let this week fly over your head because there are enough teasers and previews to enjoy, so stop in and check out this week’s Sneaker News Weekly Rewind.
