10 Sneaker Headlines To Remember From February 2014

10 Sneaker Headlines To Remember From February 2014

February 2014 Sneaker News Headlines

Despite it being the shortest month of the calendar year, a lot went down in the sneaker scene during the month of February. Of course, the release of All-Star kicks and YOTH fare kept us busy in stores, but all of the surrounding events might have February as the most eventful in recent memory. Of course, it all starts with the sudden and unexpected release of the Red October Yeezy 2, but there’s plenty more to make note of from the last four weeks.

Aside from the drop of the Red Yeezy 2s, Kevin Durant was spotted wearing the KD 6 Elite (he loves them, apparently). Aside from that, Jordan Brand made waves with the unveil of the Future as well as the collaboration with Nike SB, while adidas joined forces with one of the most influential names in streetwear (whether or not that will product footwear is yet to be determined). Continue on for a quick recap of the 10 Sneaker Headlines to Remember and stay tuned for another month of breaking sneaker news!

Nikestore releases the Air Yeezy 2 “Red October”

The final Kanye x Nike chapter came to a close when Nike randomly tweeted a purchase link for the Red October Yeezy 2. Perhaps the most “hyped” shoe of the last decade, the current resale value for these all-red sneakers have eclipsed that of any other Yeezy release.

Durant Wearings Kd 6 Elite

Kevin Durant spills the beans on the KD 6 Elite

Images of KD’s Playoff sneakers were floating around, but Durant aka “The Servant” caught everyone off guard when he was seen wearing them during a basketball workout.

Lunar Force 1 February

The Lunar Force 1 Steals the Spotlight
