Sneaker News is all about giving you all the top news in the sneaker world, and this week’s timely reports proved once again that Sneaker News is the one-stop shop for staying on top of the game. We first brought you an advanced look at the Nike Zoom Kobe VII and the Nike Zoom KD IV, the upcoming models of Nike Basketball’s two major signature lines. Nike LeBron also made some headway with a look at the Solar Red colorway of the LeBron 8 V/2. In Air Jordan news, the Jordan Fly Wade hit Nike iD in advance, a detailed look at the White/Black XI IE Low surfaced, and we also brought you a great comparison between two bunny-specific Air Jordan VIIs. The basketball news continued with NBA Feet recaps of the second round of the NBA Playoffs as well as a look at some Air Jordan Samples, PEs, and OGs.
Throughout the last decade, Nike SB has had some beer/alcohol-inspired SB Dunk releases, and we got a look at the next installment of this surly series. The next colorway of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 also received wide support, as did the two new colorways of the Nike Air Talaria Boot, which are set for a release this month. With the French Open kicking off soon, the Packer Shoes x Reebok Court Victory Pump ‘French Open’ will hit select retailers soon as well. Nike unveiled the Lunarglide+ 3, which features an all-new floating heel-cap and visible Lunar foam on bottom of the sole. The celebrities kicked it into gear once again, as Wale, Fabolous, Chris Brown, and Big Sean hogged the Celebrity Feet spotlight for the week. Sneaker customs were a popular topic as well, as we got a look at two great Foamposite customs and an Air Force 1 inspired by the Atmos x Air Max 1. Sneaker News also unveiled a weekly buyer’s guide, bringing to attention an eclectic picking of the most recent sneaker releases of various brands and styles. There’s a lot more to see below so check out this week’s Sneaker News Weekly Rewind because it’s all you’ll need!
