Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 12/24 – 12/30

Sneaker News is closing out 2011 in unmatched style, providing you with some great features that you will only find here. Sneaker News unveiled the preeminent year-end sneaker-list of the year – the Top 30 Sneaker of 2011 – while allowing the readers to lend their voices with the Readers’ Choice 2011 Poll. Moving on to daily news, Jordan made the most noise when news of his engagement from over the Christmas weekend made waves. The ‘Watch The Throne’ edition of the Nike LeBron 9 was finally previewed in detail this week, with a special look at the gold jewel piece that was designed by Gabriel Urist. The Kobe VI and KD IV Year of the Dragon both got some nice previews as well, with dragon detailing predominantly focusing on the heels. This week was also the debut of NBA Feet for the 2011-12 Season, as we started things off on Christmas Day.

The Nike Air Yeezy made headlines once again, but not for what you think; Kanye West, in one of his rare tweets, hinted at a Air Yeezy 3 release. Nike SB closed out 2011 with a preview of a re-hashed classic colorway – the Black/Loden SB Dunk Low. 21 Mercer celebrated the holiday by giving away limited pairs of ‘The Gift’ – a special Bespoke given out to lucky winners via a Twitter Giveaway. The Nike Air Force 1 Light also debuted, featuring a slimmed-down midsole and lining made just for the female sneakerheads. In collaborations, hip-hop producer Just Blaze will team up with Supra for a Skytop II and nonnative has its way with a New Balance CM997. Celebrity Feet was about quality and not quantity, as Jay-Z was spotted sitting courtside wearing the Air  Yeezy 2. This is one great way to close out one of the biggest years in sneakers, so check out all of Sneaker News Weekly Rewind below!
