The Holiday 2013 sneaker season is in full effect, and this week’s news gave us a strong indication that these three months will be huge. We saw two brand new Foamposite colorways, a variant colorway of the Air Jordan 3Lab5, and two new LeBron 11 colorways that we’ve never seen. Nike Running made two huge leaps with the introduction of the Air Max+ 2014 and the Flyknit Air Max. Jordan Brand unveiled a series of Air Jordan 12 PEs for its NFL athletes, and Nike Sportswear introduces the “Monotones Pack”, which can be viewed as a throwback to the original “One’s Pack” from the early 2000’s. A “What The” version of the Kobe 8 came to light, while a first look at the “Wheat” Nike KD 6 gave the shoe an interesting lifestyle-esque POV.
The NBA season is ready to go, and we provided some nice pre-season recaps of the best sneaker heat. adidas rose to the occasion with a sick collaboration with mita sneakers, while New Balance wowed us with the dope navy/burgundy combo known as the Blue Tab Pack. Vans continued its impressive approach to season-specific footwear, but Reebok takes the cake with the “For Players Only Pack” of Reebok Questions, which surely will ruffle the feathers of its rival brands. Sneaker News Select provided some awesome stories as well, led by a deep look into the sneaker collection of Franalations. There’s plenty more to see in Sneaker News Weekly Rewind, so enjoy it in full below to get caught up with the best sneaker news source on the planet.
