Sneaker News aims to keep you on top of the world of sneakers, and once again, this past week proved that we’re at the top of the game. Starting off, the Nike SB Dunk High ‘Cheech & Chong’ release has been cancelled by Nike due to legal reasons, which may cause a spike in price of whatever pairs have leaked out. A number of new Air Jordan releases came to light, like the new Orion Blue shade of the AJ2011 and the upcoming Stealth version of the Air Jordan III. Sneaker News also presented you a nice side-by-side comparison of OG and Retro Bordeaux VIIs, giving you a hint of what your Retros may look like 20 years down the line. A new colorway of the LeBron 8 V/2 Low caught our attention, but it was a camouflage-print Zoom Kobe VI that snuck up on us and caught us by surprise.
Sticking with basketball news, adidas introduced the adidas adiZero Crazy Light, the world’s lightest basketball shoe. Weighing it at a mere 9.8 oz., the Crazy Light is 15% lighter than its next competitor. Nike Sportswear has collaborated with Bodega to produce a sweet new colorway of the Nike Air Footscape Woven Chukka, part of a set of ‘Black Cat’ Footscape releases. Another Bodega collab with Nike made noteworthy buzz, as Sneaker News provided you with release info for the ‘Night Sky’ release. Nike Football unveiled the CR Mercurial Vapor SuperFly III, Cristiano Ronaldo’s newest football boot with the Swoosh, and celebrities and NBA players once again showed us their sick sneaker selections, like Wale’s Wolf Grey Air Jordan V. Sneaker News also continued its coverage of the ShoeZeum, bringing you even more in-depth walkthroughs of the immense showcase. And finally, a spotlight was placed on Michael Jordan and those rare instances during which he didn’t wear an Air Jordan shoe. Check out all the top stories from the past week by clicking below into the Sneaker News Weekly Rewind.
This week’s Air Jordan stories included the June 2011 roll-out as well as a unique custom gas mask made from an Air Jordan 1.
