This week was a big one for Sneaker News, as we finally let loose our brand new Sneaker News Select channel. As you saw over the past couple of days, that spot on the site will be bringing you exclusive, original content like collab stories, insane collections, and behind the scenes Air Jordan news. Of course that doesn’t mean we’re slowing down the daily flow of news one bit. This week we kept you informed on Jordan Brand’s movements out in China, their plans for retro pricing in 2014, and the future of Melo’s line. Kevin Durant was out in China as well, a trip that coincided with the release his Nike KD VI “Bamboo”.
Kobe and LeBron had plenty of going on-the former getting an exciting NIKEiD upgrade to his sig and the latter getting ready for the release of his next. The celeb kicks category saw a few curveballs, as Patrick Ewing had us all nostalgic with his footwear choice and Kristen Wiig hit late night with a pair of Jordans. Nike Flyknit saw a huge boost thanks to the likes of the new Nike Flyknit Hyperfeel and the Nike Fyknit Free, both of which were rolled out at Nike’s latest Innovation Summit meeting in Beaverton. adidas dropped the much anticipated adidas Y-3 Qasa High urban Ninja shoe, Extra Butter slyly promised us some Asics heat, and Ronnie Fieg liberated the release date for his latest GLIII banger. J. Crew and New Balance got back in bed and Jason Dill’s profane Vans collab showed up a Supreme stores. Oh, and did we mention the biggest sneaker show ever hit NYC for the weeekend? Get all those headlinds and more just after the jump in this edition of Sneaker News Weekly Rewind.
