Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 10/16 – 10/22

Weekly Rewind 10 22

What a week it was, starting with two great events last Saturday. Sneaker Con NYC went down for the third time this year, while LeBron James was the guest of honor at the launch of the LeBron 8 ‘Pre-Heat’. Of course that wasn’t the only LeBron news, as Sneaker News showed you the another LeBron James signature shoe called the LeBron 8 V2. In keeping with the trend of upcoming kicks, we brought you a detailed look at the Metallic Pewter Foamposite One, the Kobe VI Concord, some new colorways of the CMFT Max Air 12, and a great collection of Melo M7 releases. Some kicks we were already familiar with re-emerged with some changes, like the Air Jordan XIII Altitude and the all-new mesh upper, and the Zoom Kobe V in a special commemorative design.

A set of brand new Trainers just hit – three new Trainer SC 2010s and a nice collection if Trainer 1.2 Mids in special colorways inspired by some of Nike’s greatest athletes called the ‘All For One’ Pack. We also got a look at another set of kicks made for athletes, like a rare John Wall Nike PE and some exclusive pairs made just for Michael Jordan. The celebrities came out once again as New York-based pro-athletes showed up at the Foot Locker ‘On Our Feet’ Charity Event and the ATF Crew dropped by Sneaker Con NYC, and Sneaker News got a chance to interview one of the most well-known personalities of the 90’s. Finally, Sneaker News received a special package from Jordan Brand, in which we were designated as ‘Informants’ for Agent D3’s mission. There’s a lot more to see so check out all of this week’s happenings by reading through our Sneaker News Weekly Rewind!
