Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 6/30 – 7/6

Weekly Rewind 7 6

What a way to kick off the second half of 2012! We brought you a first look at the official packaging set-up for the Golden Moment Pack, while two interesting Air Jordan IV PEs (the Gentry and the Quai) made some notable headlines. Staying in the PE category, Amare Stoudemire was the recipient of a sick ‘Knicks’ color-up of the Air Max Hyperposite, while a potential World Champion edition of the LeBron 9 stirred up some nice discussion. Nike SB continues to force its way into the top sneaker headlines with the confirmed release date of the Pushead 2 and a further look at the Levi’s collab, and even Jeremy Scott won back some of his detractors with a solid Spring 2013 preview. One of the best headlines of the week was the official unveiling of the 2012 Ewing 33 Hi’s, dropping in August in four OG colorways.

Nike teams up with its subsidiary brand Hurley for another collaboration, while Sneaker Freaker stretched its 10th Anniversary celebration with the Supra Skytop III. Saucony hits us with the ‘Grey Devil’ by Solebox, while Tinie Tempah of the UK designed his own Blazer Mid LR and released all 60 pairs scavenger hunt-style. New Balance and Vans continue forward with their well-rounded weekly offerings, while the Air Safari stories kept pouring in after this past Saturday’s re-release of the OG. Some major events went down this week as well, like the BET Awards in Los Angeles, Sneaker Con in NYC, and some dope showcases in Asia. Finally, the Air Max 95 gets some due props as it is featured in Classics Revisited. Continue on for a complete rewind recap of the best Sneaker News of the week, and stay on top of your game!
