John Kim 
February’s here, and that means All-Star, BHM, and a ton of Jordan Retro releases to look forward to. In the Air Jordan category, we got a look at an Air Jordan VI sample designed by Kanye for his late mother Donda. LeBrons continue to be a big hit as we saw a “King’s Crown” edition that made use of a metallic finish on the upper. KD’s soaring stardom may put him at the #1 spot next year, while Kobe’s latest shoe is ready to unveil yet another tech advancement in Flyknit. Nike SB will celebrate the second release by Diamond, the Roshe Run gets a snazzy “Moypup” design, and another take on the Infrared Air Max 90 gets a confirmed release date.
2Chainz and adidas have something in the works for All-Star Weekend, while Reebok connects with The Distinct Life for a pair of GL6000s. Asics has a slew of great GR releases on the way, Vans always comes through with great LX releases, and New Balance gets ready for travel with the Passport Pack. Usher rocked some all-gold Air Jordan 9s for The Voice – will we see a release? Custom kicks gets headlined by JBF and another Python build with special add-ons. We featured some special pieces on Kobe’s innovative push, Signature shoes in new team colorways, and a sick Air Tech Challenge collection, while SN Select dropped exclusive info on the Air Jordan XX9 and a rare 1-of-1 Yeezy sample. Sneaker New Weekly Rewind is ready to go, so take a look below to get caught up with the best sneaker news website on the planet!
