It was quite another week for Sneaker News, so let’s get right down to it. Martin Luther King Day was the focus of a huge collection of sneakers, some of which were featured in our NBA Feet segments. One of those MLK/Black History releases is the Air Jordan III, which was just one of the many Air Jordan new stories that surfaced. Sneaker News gave you a look at the upcoming Air Jordan VII Bordeaux as well as the Cardinal releases, as well as a look at some great upcoming releases for Fall 2011. The Nike Zoom Kobe VI also has big plans in store, with new inclusions of the special LA Pack being revealed this week, and Nike co-representative LeBron James also made noise with the announcement of an animated series based on The LeBrons. While we’re on the topic of ‘animated’, this week’s Jeremy Scott headlines were definitely one to take a peek at, because he’s got some even crazier stuff i store. In other adidas news, an all-new Star Wars collabo with adidas incited some excitement from our readers as well.
Nike SB has been enjoying somewhat of a renaissance, with the celebration of the history of the Nike SB Dunk being the focus of the year. There are plenty of other non-Dunk SB releases to look forward to as well. Moving on to retro-inspired Nike releases, a Fuse-uppered Nike Dunk incited some interesting response, leading our readers to believe that more in’Fuse’d Sportswear releases will be headed our way. Sneaker News also gave you a look at an exciting semi-new colorway of the Air Trainer SC II for Summer and two more Foamposite releases for Fall 2011. Something that’s available right now is the Steven Alan x NSW collection, featuring four classic Nike Sportswear models constructed in premium materials. DJ Clark Kent brought some attention to himself when he showed off his Air Max TR1+ 360 done up in the unmistakable ‘112’ motif. And finally, Sneaker News has finally reached number XI in our Michael Jordan Through The Years Feature; for a shoe as magnanimous, it was only necessary to split this particular installment into volumes, with the first one going live this week. Check out all that went down this week in the world of kicks by checking out the latest Sneaker News Weekly Rewind.
