The Sneaker News team doesn’t want you to feel left behind in any category of the current footwear world. Which means we’re back again giving you a run down of the more notable stories that popped up in the past seven days. The NBA pre-season games continue to be a source of interest, with Carmelo Anthony creating perhaps the most interesting story lately from there with his Jordan Melo 1.5 wear. Of course Nike Basketball’s Big Three are making plenty of noise with their shoes as well-LeBron’s eleventh came through with a scorching Forged Iron colorway, the Kobe 8 promised us a “What the Kobe” release, and Kevin Durant showed off his “Wheat” joints. Other new fangled footwear outside of the Swoosh realm included the likes of Reebok’s Q96 and Pumpspective Omni pairs, each of them remixing some classics from their back catalog.
Speaking of classics, the wide ranging retro category had plenty to talk about this week. The Nike Air Max 1 for example certainly surprised us thanks to that elemental “Liquid Metal” pack of sneakers that looks to be a WMNS exclusive. Other inline bangers included Asics’ “Christmas Pack” set that we thankfully got up close and personal with this week. The Ewing 33 Hi popped up again with a sizzurp looking purple suede combination, Sneaker Freaker flexed their blocking powers on an adidas rarity, and Bodega became the latest team to touch up the Reebok Classic Leather. And we wouldn’t exactly call it a retro given that the original released just last year, but Kim Kardashian came through and teased us a little bit with another peek at those “Red October” Yeezy 2s. Stay with us after the break for a run-down of all these Sneaker News stories and more in the latest episode of Weekly Rewind.
