The story of Johnny Kilroy began this week as the first wave of Holiday 2012 footwear releases began to hit store. The LeBron X was again a hot topic thanks to LeBron’s first-hand explanation of the colorways. More Posite news rolled in, with Wale revealing the I-95 Posite Boot and a slew of PE colorways of the Hyperposite from NBA Media Day. A first non-Thunder colorway of the Nike Zoom KD V surfaced, as did a unique pair of Kobe VIIs that embraces the mis-match style. Nike SB made plenty of noise with a launch event for the Koston 2, and Sneaker News got the chance to talk SB with Stefan Janoski and Eric Koston. ParaNorman was another hot topic as Nike revealed an Air Raid done in ‘Weird’ manner, and a look at more Supreme x Air Force 1s tossed up a bunch of excitement.
FlyKnit returned with a vengeance with a mass re-stock as well as an intro of four new Trainer colorways. Derrick Rose was a trending topic with the first look at the adidas Rose 3.5 and the sick ‘Electricity’ colorway. Packer Shoes unveiled their Reebok Question collaboration – a spin on the legendary ‘Practice’ soundbyte from an Iverson press conference. More collaboration news involved Asics and a legendary film and Reebok and a fun college drinking game. Vans made their way to the top headlines with some colorful kicks, as did the custom sneaker category with some Zoom Rookies and Air Jordans. The Air Penny was the focus of our Classics Revisited, throwing props at some understated 1-Cent releases of the past. Finally, the Sneaker News staff opened up and showed you our own Top 20 sneaker lists. More of Weekly Rewind is a click away!
