Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 3/31 – 4/6

Weekly Rewind Summary 4 6

The champion of our Non-OG Air Jordan Tournament has been crowned, bringing about a heated debate among our readers. But moving on from past Air Jordans to new, we brought you a complete look at all the upcoming Air Jordan IX releases for the Holiday 2012 season, headlined by the eagerly-anticipated Johnny Kilroy edition, while the latest Air Jordan model gets some new spins with the debut the Jordan Brand Classic PEs. Jordan and Converse teamed up for a 23-pair limited edition auction-only release to pay tribute to MJ’s National Title-winning shot in ’82. The South Beach wave continues as we get a first look at a similar colorway on the LeBron 9 Low, as well as the first real pics of the Varsity Maize Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite. Over in SB news, you can see what the ‘What the Dunk’ might look like as a High and the new 2012 Supreme x SB Dunk collaboration has been confirmed for this month.

An upcoming Camo-uppered Air Force 1 premium releases got our readers in an ecstatic daze, the upcoming Air Max Express in Black/Pine Green raised a discussion regarding the fusion of older designs and new materials and we got a look at some Fall 2012 Air Safari samples that give a new look to the classic design. Nike and the NFL unveiled the new Elite 51 uniform this past Tuesday, which features the classic uniform amped up in a way only Nike knows how. The Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational Golf Tournament brought a peek at some crazy Jumpman golf gear. Another sole-swapped Foamposite One inspired by the Los Angeles Lakers made a ton of noise, especially when Joe Budden (one of several celebrities mentioned this week) wore them during an interview with Fuse. New Balance had a strong week with a nice blend of classic releases and interesting collaborations. Finally, another helping of Air Jordan samples and PE’s kept us glued to online auctions once again. There’s plenty more to see, so check out the entire Weekly Rewind below!
