How was your Labor Day? While you were able to relax and enjoy the day off the Sneaker News team made sure that it wasn’t a slow one in terms of your favorite footwear, keeping you updated on all the pertinent news out there for the three day weekend and well into the no-wearing-white season. The epic ShoeZeum makes its new home in Las Vegas with our guys on the ground covering the event. The LeBron X keeps poking its head up, the latest getting away from the ‘Heat’ for a moment with a chilly blue look. Elsewhere in signature sneakers Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul both get a surprise release date for their next iterations with Jordan Brand. A custom creator cuts up his pair of Air Jordan IV’s and pours milk inside them (don’t try this at home). Nike SB plants itself firmly in the headlines once again with another obvious Air Jordan-esque pair, with collaborator Brooklyn Projects whipping up a ‘Concord’ looking Dunk Low.
SoleFly out in Miami joins the rarefied air of sneaker spots to lock down a collabo with Jordan Brand, coloring up a Jordan Spiz’ike with a local Miami Hurricanes look. Celebs show up in droves to the MTV Video Music Awards, with a select few among them making some sneakerhead moves (‘Supreme’ Dunks, ‘Golden Moment’ Air Jordan VII’s, and more). Of course for the celebs we can’t forget Whoopi Goldberg, who turned heads on The View with her Foamposite selection. Bape brings their camo look back to a pair of adidas along with UNDFTD, Ronnie Fieg teases his next New Balance release, and Patrick Ewing makes sure you’re getting your bang for your buck on those Ewing 33 Hi retros. Click through for all these awesome headlines and more in this edition of the Sneaker News Weekly Rewind!
