Are you ready for the Holiday 2012 sneaker craze? Sneaker News started things off with a complete preview of Holiday 2012 and Spring 2013 footwear from Jordan Brand, revealing some interesting pieces like the ‘Nike Air’ tagged Air Jordan 1. More Jordan Brand news revealed a detailed gallery of the Bred XIII and a complete look at the entire Kilroy Pack. The LeBron X launched with an amazing packaging fit for a Crown Jewel, while the KD IV popped up in the popular ‘What The’ style. Foamposites were a hot topic again, as we confirmed a release date while showing you four new Hyperposites. The Janoski will indeed arrive in a sick floral print, while the Air Force 1 will be hit with Glow in the Dark and new ‘Skive Tec’. The Black History Month 2013 Collection of footwear was also confirmed with a slew of models both new and old.
The Retro Basketball movement continues with a wider release of the Ewing 33 Hi and a new ‘Dusk Til Dawn’ Pack of two of Nike’s 90’s gems. Another 90’s shoe got the 360 Max Air upgrade and was met with some surprising praise – especially after Wale was seen in them. Other celebrity news included Big Sean and his adidas signature shoe, and Rihanna, who rocked the Gym Red Spiz’ikes. Vans comes through with more from the Metallica collaboration and Holiday Pack goodness, Nike Training unveils a weather-ready Free-soled footwear model, and we focus on five Nike Basketball Classics from the 90’s to finish off the week. More of Sneaker News Weekly Rewind is right ahead!
