We hope you’re seated as you’re reading this latest Sneaker News Weekly Rewind. All the big stories that surfaced were not for the meek of heart, so if you happened to miss out on any of the big news, be prepared. Starting off with Air Jordan news, Sneaker News confirmed the release of the Air Jordan X ‘Chicago’ for Spring 2012 and also gave you a look at a sample of the upcoming White/Cement IV. The Nubuck sample of the Air Jordan III also stirred up quite a debate as well. Some samples of OGs also made noise, like the unreleased White/Bright Cactus Air Jordan VIII Low that was scheduled for an early 2008 release. Nike SB made a big splash as well, as we learned of the collaboration between Doug Ellin, creator of the hit show Entourage, and the Nike SB Dunk Low. The 2011 Finals ended this week, with Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks triumphing over LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and the Miami Heat.
Other Nike news included the 40th birthday of the Swoosh, originally created by Carolyn Davidson for a mere $2 an hour. We brought you a look at some upcoming Nike Basketball kicks, like the Air Shox Hyperballer, Hyperforce 2011, and other Spring 2012 releases. It was another big week for celebrities in Air Jordans, with Ludacris, Wiz Khalifa, and Kid Cudi making appearances. The Supra Skytop III, Chad Muska’s signature shoe, was officially unveiled this week in four colorways as well. Sneaker Con NYC is tomorrow at noon, so if you’re one of the many NYC-based Sneaker News readers, be sure to show up tomorrow with your heat! And finally, Sneaker News hit you with another Weekly Buyer’s Guide, laying out all of the new releases this week. Check out the rest of the Sneaker News Weekly Rewind below and get caught up!
