The week started off with the *BANG*, as the biggest stars in basketball gathered in Los Angeles for the 2011 NBA All-Star Game. Sneaker News provided you on-the-clock coverage of all of the events, providing great recaps of the best kicks seen during the weekend-long events. Once All-Star Weekend was over, it was back to business, and Sneaker News continued forward with the best sneaker-related news information on the planet. The Jumpman was again in the spotlight as we got a look at a Carbon Fiber Air Jordan XI and a Black/Gold Air Jordan V made for a wedding. The other ‘man’ was ‘Dunkman’, as we got a first look at the Nike LeBron 8 P.S. ‘Dunkman’. Stealing some of the spotlight was the Nike Zoom Kobe VI, which dropped three new colorways this week. Blake Griffin, whose stock has been rising steadily throughout the course of the season, debuted the Hyperdunk 2011 during the All-Star Game, but we also got a look at two sick Air Max Fly By PEs made for the Clippers rising star. Carmelo Anthony made headlines as he was traded to the New York Knicks, which coincidentally fell right before we showed you a possible Jordan Melo M7 Future Sole design.
Outside of basketball was some big news from Nike SB; Sneaker News confirmed another Todd Bratrud designed Nike SB Dunk High, inspired once again by 4/20. The Nike Griffey line is set to broaden this summer, with the release of Air Griffey Max II and the Air Max JR. Nike will also introduce the Nike Hachi, an all-new lifestyle shoe focusing more on cool and casual. Mizzee Customs showed us another one of his great works by combining the Air Jordan VI and the popular Bordeaux colorway from the Air Jordan VII. Kanye West was spotted multiple times this week in our Celebrity Feet features, but the most notable Yeezy news came from a sneak peek at his second shoe with Nike – the Air Yeezy 2. And finally, Sneaker News featured the Air Jordan XIV in our latest Michael Jordan Through The Years feature, focusing on Michael’s short but sweet time with the Air Jordan XIV. There’s a lot more to see so check in with Sneaker News Weekly Rewind to be caught up on the entire world of sneakers.
