For those ready to get back into the act of copping kicks, this week revealed some great upcoming drops for you. Air Jordan Retros are already a dominating headine with the Air Jordan 6 “Carmine” confirmed to drop this year, while Drake’s Retro PEs have stirred up a storm on eBay. Black History Month is arriving soon, and Nike/Jordan Brand have their kicks ready. LeBron continues to show off PE colorways of his Retro shoes, while the 7th Kobe Prelude shoe is due for a release. The “Floral” KD is looking sweeter than ever, while a release date for the KD 6 BHM has been confirmed. NBA Feet was a big hit with some special spotlight to Andre Iguodala and Nick Young, while the celebrities came through yet again – Wale showed up twice.
Nike Sportswear launched the Nike Knows Collection, while the Tiffany SB Dunk High got confirmed for a release on February 8th. adidas is bringing back several shoes new and old – the ZX Flux being a mix of both. Reebok promised 27 Pump Fury collaborations involving their Certified Network, a full Fall 2014 preview of Asics was revealed, and several great New Balance general releases continue to hit stores. Li-Ning celebrated Wade’s Birthday with a special edition Way of Wade 2, while Vans came through with a surprising collab with Primitive. Customs were impressive this week, with a sick Air Jordan IV specialty modeled after the “Cheetah Yeezy” that never released. With the release of the “Knicks” Flightposites, we compiled a list of some of the rarest kicks that ended up releasing later on. Finally, Sneaker News launched Best of #SneakerNews, giving our followers with great on-feet photos some props. Sneaker News Weekly Rewind is ready for you below, so click through and get caught up on the world of kicks with the best site out there.
