A third Yeezy? More HTM Flyknits? Air Jordan Retro Cards? Jeremy Scott x adidas? All these headlines are just the tip of massive iceberg that was the week of April 6th through April 12th, so let’s get to it! Starting off, our readers selected the greatest Air Foamposite release of all time, and the results were admittedly surprising. Retro Cards are making a slow comeback to Retro Jordans, while Nike Basketball unveiled the Elite 2.0 Gold Collection and the “EYBL” PE of the KDV Elite. The Glove Retro was a big headlines this week, as was the Army Camo Foamposite Pro.
We also dropped news of the next UNDFTD x Nike Dunk High in the “Ballistic” edition, FTC of SF collaborates on a special Dunk Low, and HTM hits the Flyknit for a sick Lunar Flyknit Trainer. Bespokes were big as a “Hare”-inspired composition had readers impressed, while the Air Max 1 made big headlines with Summer/Holiday previews and a dope “Yeezy”-esque colorway. NBA Feet and Celebrity Feet were impressive as well, as Kobe debuted the Kobe 8 Elite in advance and Wale wore some 2007-release Hybrids. Reebok cut ties with Rick Ross, while adidas continues its line with Jeremy Scott for one of the strongest seasonal outputs yet. With Wednesday’s restock causing a stir, Sneaker News opened up the discussion to a rather loud reader response. There’s more to see from Nike, adidas, Reebok, New Balance, Vans, and more, so check out Sneaker News Weekly Rewind in its entirety below.
