Starting off with Air Jordan news, we brought you a look at upcoming Spring 2012 releases, which included new Air Jordan X releases and the Air Jordan IV White/Cement. We also brought you a look at a Black colorway of the Air Jordan V Quai 54 and the Team ISO 2, as well as some OGs and samples, like the Air Jordan IX Penny Hardaway. Staying on the BBall topic, Nike Basketball officially unveiled the 2011 installments of the Hyperdunk and Hyperfuse, selected Blake Griffin and Rajon Rondo as its representatives. We also served up a detailed look at the Kobe VI ‘Lower Merion Aces’, a new colorway of Derrick Rose’s adiZero Rose 2.0, and the upcoming Nike Zoom Rookie – a multi-Air Penny hybrid shoe.
Nike SB, always a huge topic on Sneaker News, made some noise as well, as we got a look at July 2011 Footwear Releases, which includes the ‘Red Devil’ SB Dunk High. Another piece of SB buzz was the unreleased Dr. Feelgood sample, purchased by celeb sneakerhead Andy Milonakis. On a similar note, this week’s Celebrity Feet features included Jay-Z in his favorite Jordans, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, and a number of NBA Draft prospects. Moving on to custom sneakers, a booming sub-category on Sneaker News, Mizzeecustoms and Dank showed off their latest works, which created a ton of buzz and debate in our comments. Sneaker Con NYC wrapped up this past weekend, to which we followed with a great recap of the event and of the ‘Feet’. And finally, Sneaker News continued with the Weekly Buyer’s Guide, giving you a complete look at the hottest releases of the past week. There’s much more ahead so get caught up on the world of sneakers with this latest chapter of Sneaker News Weekly Rewind!
