Closing out the month of January was a bucketload of great sneaker related news and happenings. The Postseason version of the Nike LeBron 8 was unveiled this week, featuring Fuse and a Zoom/Max Air cushioning combo. LeBron’s Nike counterpart Kobe Bryant had a lot going, as we got a look at some new colorways of the Kobe VI along with some new info for some his most anticipated kicks. As usual, Jordan-related topics drew the largest crowds, as we got a look at two upcoming GS Retros and a sweet historical comparison of the Air Jordan III. The 2011 NBA All-Star Game is just a few weeks away, so Sneaker News also showed you some of the All-Star kicks from Nike, Jordan, and adidas while providing a thorough viewing of what our favorite NBA All-Stars (and snubs) are wearing right now.
On the skate side of things, Sneaker News gave you a look at all the February 2011 releases in footwear apparel and topped it off with a great feature comparing the new and old Nike SB Dunk Pro. Vans also got our attention with news of another collaboration with urban/skate brand Supreme. In other collaborations, Sneaker News gave you a detailed look at the Australian colorway Packer x Reebok Court Victory Pump Grand Slam Pack which is set to release on Saturday, January 29th. Other noteworthy news was a great custom pair of Dunk Highs from Diversitile, Drake, J. Cole, and Anne Hathaway in some interesting kicks, and a big sneaker-related event recap in Houston. Of course, the biggest news story of the week was the official unveiling of the Air Jordan 2011; Sneaker News brought you first-hand coverage of all the Air Jordan 2011 upcoming releases as well as a one-on-one interview with AJ2011 co-designer Tom Luedecke.
