Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 12/3 – 12/9

While many of you have designed December as the month of the Concord XI, you’ll realize rather quickly that this month has a whole lot more in store. Not only did we see the unveiling of two signature shoes in the Nike Zoom Kobe VII and Jordan Fly Wade 2, but we were quickly reminded that there’s a ton of heat dropping from now until the 12/23 D-Day. The LeBron 9 ‘China’ was confirmed for a release next weekend, and another Ronnie Fieg x Asics collab seems to be in works before the New Year. But looking beyond 2011, there was plenty of new that made headlines; the new Griffey-inspired Air Max Express will arrive, as will the USA Basketball Pack, featuring four classic Nike Basketball sneakers with Olympic ties. The Air Force 1 ‘Jewel’ will also return in 2012.

Nike SB celebrated its 10th anniversary with an Innovation Timeline, detailing all of its footwear models and performance highlights over the last decade. Medicom Toy will end the solid year of Air Force 1 releases with a 10th Anniversary pack of two different Air Force 1s. In other news, we got a look at some off-the-wall stuff, like some ‘sneaker robots’, a sick 727-pair collection of Air Jordans, and a plethora of Air Jordan samples and PEs. Finishing off this magnanimous week of news was the Sneaker News Giveaway, as we revealed the winner of our Battlefield 3 prize while introducing another freebie of similar stature. There’s a lot more to see below, so take a good look at dont miss out on any of the top news!
