Sneaker News continues our March Madness Tournament as we opened up the Sweet 16 Round of voting, featuring 8 hardcore match-ups in a battle for Air Jordan Retro supremacy. Perhaps if we ran another similar tournament in a few years, the Air Jordan XII ‘Cool Grey’ will have a shot, as we got a great detailed look this week in both mens and kids sizes. The LeBron 9 Elite was another major topic this week, as we got a look at the ‘South Beach/McFly’ colorway and an initial preview of the Varsity Maize version. The gradient fade option returned to Nike iD for the Kobe VII, allowing for some stunning colorways, while the red PE of the Zoom KD IV ‘EYBL’ completed the package of KD IV PEs for the event. Rounding out Nike Basketball news: Michigan’s Yellow and Navy hits a House of Hoops-exclusive Air Max Tempo and two more Air Flight Ones are confirmed for this Holiday.
Moving on to the Air Yeezy 2 – a first detailed look at the Air Yeezy 2 arrives alongside some troubling release news. The Nike SB story continues to unravel with a look at a funky Koston x AM90 hybrid and a dope ‘Skunk’ custom of the Janoski. UNDFTD moves into nationwide distribution as it collaborates with Converse for a Foot Locker-exclusive collection of footwear and apparel. Rounding out the rest of this week’s top stories on Sneaker News: Nike teams with TEDxPortland with a special edition Air Max 1, Monta Ellis rocks the Bred XI and Bred XIII in one game, Sneaker Con Miami shows that it’s okay to wear two different shoes at once and Fred Jones, who is now out of the NBA, might have some of the best Air Jordan PE’s ever. Check out the full Rewind below!
