Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 6/4 – 6/10

After a minor snafu on our site last week, Sneaker News was back in action, delivering only the latest news in the world of sneakers. Starting off with the big news stories, Sneaker News reported the surprising news of the Air Jordan 2011 making a Nike iD debut, marking the first time an Air Jordan signature shoe would be available for customization. We also got a look at Dwyane Wade’s PE colorways for the Finals as well as teammate LeBron James’ LeBron 8 P.S. in a tonal red edition. The NBA Finals took a surprising turn, as the end of Game 5 resulted in a 3-2 series lead for the Dallas Mavericks. The final two games in Miami will be incredibly star-studded as it always is in Miami, but Sneaker News also brought you a look at celebs from around the nation rocking some sick sneakers – one of whom was Wale during the 2011 Summer Jam. Speaking of Wale and his kicks, we finally got a detailed look at the Dark Pine Foams, a shoe that Wale wore over the 2011 NBA All-Star Weekend.

Nike SB rang some bells as we got a look at some upcoming releases and some unreleased samples. Other footwear topics included the in-depth look at the Nike Sportswear Hyperfuse collection and the upcoming adidas Basketball releases for Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard. Two big releases went down this week; the Brooklyn Projects x Nike SB Dunk High and Ronnie Fieg x Asics GT-II releases turned out some interesting events. Sneaker News also gave you a look at some great PE colorways, mostly in ‘Cleat’ form, as well as a unique custom job that made recent retro releases look like OGs. And finally Sneaker News presented this week’s Buyer’s Guide, which was rife with fresh footwear selections and pick-ups. Check out the rest of Sneaker News Weekly Rewind below!
