Sneaker News is all about bringing to you the latest hot topics in kicks, but this week’s biggest story wasn’t directly about sneakers! The NBA will return on Christmas Day, which means just a few more weeks until we see our favorite NBA stars rock their kicks on court. But going back to kicks – there’s still plenty to catch up on. Jordan Brand is gearing up for the release of the Jordan Fly Wade 2, but we also got to see a Green/Orange colorway of the Jordan Melo M8. The Kobe VII might’ve been the hot topic this week, as four new colorways were detailed in-depth solely by Sneaker News. The Nike LeBron 9 Low and LeBron 9 iD designs seemed to have been to big LeBron stories, as was a set of Nike Basketball PEs that touched upon alternate careers of Nike Basketball athletes like Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, and Andre Iguodala.
Nike SB continues its simplistic approach with its sneakers, opting for simpler, more street-friendly colorways. Patta of Amsterdam has been working on an Asics Gel Saga II collaboration, while adidas Originals worked on a set of Forum Mids with Boylston Trading Co. which may be one of the best adidas releases of the year. December 1st marked World AIDS Day, as we got a look at a gorgeous Chuck Taylor designed by New Yorker Jose Parla for (PRODUCT)RED x Converse. The Foamposite frenzy got a bit crazier as Sneaker News gave you an exclusive look at a great custom pair of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro. It seems like the cold weather is keeping celebrities indoors, as this week’s Celebrity Feet features included Wale, during a performance for FuseTV, and Jerry Ferrara of Entourage, seen wearing a pair of Jordan Retros from ’07. There’s a lot more to see below, so cozy up to Sneaker News Weekly Rewind to be on top of your sneaker game!
