The world is in a Yeezy frenzy after Kanye wore the all-red joints last weekend, and things only got crazier when some hints regarding an October release started to swirl around. An on-feet look at the Elephant Print Air Jordan V came to light, while a release date for the “Thermal Map” Foamposites turned up the heat. LeBron whipped out a new PE for Game 4 (first of the Finals), while a new box was revealed to be a part of the Nike KD 6 packaging. Nike Sportswear’s going heavy this Fall with the return of several OG models, while the new Roshe continues to blossom with the Roshe High and Zoom BB model. A first look at a Lunar Force 1 VT Mesh gave the update sneaker some personality as well, while Nike SB reaches back to Beavis and Butthead for a sick duo of Dunks.
Reebok finally introduced the first part of the Artist Series curated by Stash, while a detailed July 2013 preview of Classics footwear proved that RBK was going to stay strong and steady through the Fall season. A first look at the adidas Rose 4 stirred up a nice discussion among our readers, while New Balance presented the American Rebel Collection for the Fall season. The release of the St. Alfred x Asics Gel Lyte III kept fans on their toes, while Taka Hayashi’s Revere Hi release gave us a hint of what sort of trends to expect this Fall. Investigative journalist Darren Rovell explored the sneaker buy/sell/trade world through the eyes of a 15-year-old kid, while the topic of “Color Flips” brought back some great memories of sneakers past. A full Sneaker News Weekly Rewind is just ahead so take a look and stay tuned for another fresh week of Sneaker News soon!
