Basketball season is in full swing, as this week in Sneaker News was chock full ‘o hoopin’ shoes, rare Player Exclusives, and nightly NBA action. If you were curious as to what your favorite NBA player was rocking on court, Sneaker News’ NBA Feet had you covered on all corners. Also featured were a number of PEs both past and present, as well as some rare gems you might have never seen before. Two new colorways of the LeBron 8 V2 were revealed this week while Melo’s new kicks were officially debuted via a sweet new Jordan Brand-directed commercial. Sneaker News also gave you a look at a sample pair of the Nike Zoom KD IV – so while we’re on the topic of signature shoes, we also brought you a unique list detailing the 25 best sig shoes of all time.
Sneaker News provided a detailed viewing of the upcoming Metallic Pewter Foamposite One as well as some Cool Grey-inspired apparel to match with the late-December release. The Lunar-cushioned Fuse-uppered Lunar Haze was previewed, as was Hiroshi Fujiwara’s next Nike design. SBTG’s 2010 Collection offered some nice eye candy, as did the celebrity spottings of the past week. Wrapping up this Rewind is two great Sneaker News features; first, we brought you an exclusive interview with Nike designer Jason Petrie, which shed some light on a number of LeBron-related issues, and secondly, Sneaker News unveiled its newest Weekly Feature called Michael Jordan: Through The Years, which should school you on Jordan and his kicks of the last 25 years. Sneaker News Weekly Rewind is finally here so check out all that went down this past week!
