Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 9/24 – 9/30

With the Holiday 2011 season about the begin, the big footwear stories at Sneaker News won’t stop! This past week brought on a number of notable headlines from Air Jordan, Nike LeBron, and Celebrity Feet, so let’s get right to it. Sneaker News started off last weekend with a first look at upcoming October and November Jordan Brand releases, like the Air Jordan 8.0 and the new Jordan Big Ups. Nike LeBron 9 was a common topic this week as well, as we brought you an exclusive first look at the Wolf Grey/Cherry colorway while offering previews of the LeBron 9 iD. Some Nike SB specialties like the Patagonia Mids and the retro-crazed Roller Derbys were worth noting, and the official debut of the adidas adiZero Rose 2 was no bull.

It was a big week for celebrities, as J. Cole, Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Kevin Durant, and John Mayer are just some of the names featured in this week’s Celebrity Feet highlights. Nike Football created a special edition colorway of the Trainer Max 1.3 just for the EA Sports Madden ’12 team to celebrate the game’s Hall of Fame edition. In other celebratory gestures, the Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Strick’, commemorating the cultural impact of streetball legend John Strickland, will be released in October. The Nike Mag 2011 continues to make headlines as we learn of Kid Cudi copping not four, but FIVE pairs, and a noted sneakerhead out West shows us what the Mags look like when worn around the neighborhood. Across the ocean, sneaker retailer Afew opened their Vintage Gallery, which housed some of the greatest sneakers from the early 1980’s-mid 1990’s era. There plenty more of Sneaker News Weekly Rewind to look over, so check in and get caught up with the help of the Authority in Sneaker News!
