Sneaker News Weekly Rewind starts off with a plethora of Air Jordan news, highlighted by a rare game-worn PE of the Air Jordan 1 featuring a unique alteration to protect Michael’s recently healed foot, and a look at a new Team Jordan design inspired by a late-90’s classic. Sneaker News also brought you a look at a proposed LeBron 8 V4 dubbed ‘Milan’ – a high-end luxurious version of the Nike LeBron 8. Speaking of high-end shoes, we brought you a nice look at upcoming Stefan Janoski releases (the ‘dress’ skate shoe). Other Nike SB news included the upcoming May 2011 product line and a look at some unreleased samples from years before. Staying on the lifestyle side of things, the Nike Air Force 1 made yet another return to Nike iD, bringing along a new customizable option that made another pair very ‘worth it’.
The Foamposite push in 2011 continues with the ‘Retro/Black’ colorway (an electric teal blue), which is set for a Fall 2011 release. We also got a look at two awesome Nike Zoom KD III iD creations inspired by the LeBron 8 V/2 ‘Entourage’ and the Air Force 1 Low ‘Year of the Rabbit’. Amare Stoudemire finally unveiled a new PE colorway of the Zoom Huarache TR Mid last Sunday (as shown in our extensive NBA Feet coverage), and we followed that up with a look at a sick trio of colorways that’ll have Trainer fans drooling with envy. Speaking of the Knicks, Nike Sportswear is bringing back a special duo of the Nike Sky Force ’88 which we dubbed the ‘Bulls vs. Knicks’ Pack. The Nike Air Yeezy 2 was once again a hot topic of conversation, as we got better angles of the kicks on Kanye’s feet. Phil Knight, co-founder of Nike, was a special guest on Oprah, during which the legendary talk-show host was presented with a special Nike PE. And finally, Sneaker News turns the final page of Michael Jordan Through The Years, focusing on the man and not the shoes. There’s a ton more to see so count on Sneaker News Weekly Rewind to get you into top form in the world of sneakers!
Some more Air Jordan news came to surface, but a it was a quarter-century old artifact that had us buzzing with excitement.
