Sneaker News Blogs: Best of WDYWT – 1/31 – 2/6
It was another week of hot sneakers from Sneaker News Blogs: Best of WDYWT, and even with Superbowl XLVI keeping people at home in their living rooms or at local bars, the onslaught of on-feet fire didn’t miss a beat. A few readers got their hands on the Nike Basketball Black History Month 2012 Collection, while a pair of brothers rocked the Air Force 1 and Air Jordan III from last year’s BHM Collection. We also got a look at some great Retros, like the French Blue XII, Black Laser IV, and some nice low-top gems, and even an OG Air Jordan from ’93 made its way to this exclusive list. We’ve got all 20 from Sneaker News Blogs: WDYWT after the jump so take a look, vote for your fave, and don’t forget to submit your own kicks!

Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 1/28 – 2/3
February is upon us, and that means the Black History Month Collection by Nike is unveiled. In it is the Nike Basketball signature trio, the Nike Sportswear trio (Air Max 1, Blazer, Air Force 1), and the Huarache Free 2012. This week also shed light on a number of release dates of Air Jordans that are set for a Summer arrival. The Nike LeBron 9 ‘Swingman’ release a bit earlier than expected overseas, while the Kobe VII ‘Iridescent’ raised some eyebrows as well. We finally caught a viewing of the Nike Zoom KD IV ‘All-Star/Galaxy’, and pics of two early prototype samples had some buzz of their own going. NBA/NCAA Feet brought their heat as usual, but it was a recap of the New York Giants and their Air Jordans during Superbowl XLVI Media Day that was the highlight of the week. MJ broke out some Air Jordan 2012 golf shoes while out on the course, and after President Barack Obama made sneaker headlines last week, First Lady Michelle brought out her own kicks during an appearance on The Ellen Show.
After making an appearance as part of the Nike Zoom Rookie, the Nike Air Flight One will make its return in two colorways. The All-Star-specific Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’ has a release date as well. Staying on topic of the All-Star Game, adidas Basketball unveiled its All-Star colorways of the adidas adiZero Rose 2.5 and the adiPower Howard. The Dunk High will also be released in a pack, with a removable swoosh being the keynote feature of this All-Star collection. The Nike Lunar Hyperdunk 2012 was also introduced, featuring a combination of Lunar, Hyperfuse, and Flywire. China-based CLOT showed us their latest collaboration with Nike – the Museum Tennis Classic. Finally, a nice crop of Air Jordan custom sneakers made headlines. We’ve got all the top news listed below, so don’t miss out on Sneaker News Weekly Rewind!

Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 1/21 – 1/27
Closing out the month of January is Sneaker News Weekly Rewind, so let’s cut to the chase and get caught up in all the biggest news stories of the week. In Air Jordan news, Sneaker News showed you a sample pair of the upcoming Air Jordan VII ‘Charcoal’ while giving you some tips on how to claim the missing Air Jordan X hangtag from your recent Chicago X pick-up. A skilled artist going by the moniker A-BB dazzled the readers with his amazing Michael Jordan Series of artwork, capturing MJ and his kicks in some memorable scenes. LeBron James made some noise as we got a look at a Foamposite PE as well as a sample Mid version of the LeBron 8 ‘Flamingo’. The Kobe System seminars began, as Kobe took us through the first five levels of the Kobe System, while updates regarding the Zoom KD IV iD forced some curious, raised eyebrows. Sneaker News also showed you a quick peek at the upcoming Black History Month pack featuring a trio of Nike Bball signature models.
The first notable Quickstrike Dunk of 2012 from Nike SB came to light, as did news of an intriguing Air Jordan 1 x Nike SB collab. Nike Sportswear celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the Air Force 1 by introducing elephant print as a custom option for Nike iD. This Sunday’s Pro Bowl will feature some sick Nike representation, as we showed you the three footwear models included in the 2012 Pro Bowl Pack. Other sports with sneaker recognition are obviously the NBA and NCAA, which was headlined by Rip Hamilton’s White/Cement IVs. The celebrities had a quiet week, but Mark Wahlberg and his LeBrons made some noise towards the end, while Amare Stoudemire had to resign from his Foot Locker job in New York. Collab news included the vast previewing of the Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals collection for 2012, a sick partnership between PickYourShoes and Reebok, and the Fall 2012 Missoni x Converse capsule. Sneaker News Weekly Rewind will return in February, so close out the month the right way by keeping in tune with the authority in Sneaker News.

Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 1/14 – 1/20
Anytime we get a first look at an upcoming Air Jordan Retro, excitement stirs! This week brought a first look at the Air Jordan VI ‘Olympic’ and some new images of the XI Low and the Cool Grey XII. President Barack Obama also received a special pair of Spiz’ikes from Spike Lee during the president’s trip to NYC. The ‘Swingman’ colorway of the LeBron 9 seems to be rising as one of the best LeBron releases of 2012, as is the Kobe VII ‘Year Of The Dragon’ which features a special box in the shape of a dragon’s head. Some new team-based KD IV colorways also released, while the ‘YOTD’ colorway has started to hit retailers. More Foamposite news came when we caught another look at the ‘Galaxy’ colorway, while a ‘Gem Green’ Foamposite Pro looks to be in the works for July. Nike SB previewed some interesting things scheduled for this year, like a re-release of the Pushead x Nike SB Dunk Low in ‘bleached’ form.
It was a strong week for ballers as Ray Allen flashed a sick Air Jordan XII PE and Monta Ellis rocked Space Jams during the week’s games, but the celebs weren’t too shabby either as Wale rocked the Air Jordan V ‘Tokyo 23′ and Ludacris wore the Olympic VII. Serena Williams will receive her own special capsule of tennis hear in celebration of Black History Month, kicking off a new season of tennis for Nike’s top athletes.

Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 1/7 – 1/13
Welcome to Week 2 of the new year, typically filled with broken resolutions and the itch to begin a fresh year’s worth of new sneakers. Sneaker News didn’t miss a beat with all the big-time news that went down, like the ‘Year Of The Dragon’ releases that featured special-edition boxes (Air Jordan with three shelves, Kobe VII with 3-D, KD IV with a all-around ‘tattoo’-ing). The LeBron ‘Year Of The Dragon’ is actually the ‘China’ that dropped in 2011, but we still got some LBJ headlines with the surfacing of the ‘Fortune’ Magazine Sample PE, inspired by one of LeBron’s favorite magazine covers. Chris Paul and the Jordan CP3.V made some news after last week’s debut, as CP3 and designer Tom Luedecke discussed the inspiration behind the detailed design of the CP3.V. With NBA and NCAA games in full swing, we caught a glimpse at some great sneakers, like LeBron’s Red/Black PE and the Zoom KD IV PE worn by the Texas Longhorns.
Are there plans to merge Nike SB and Nike 6.0? Recent developments point to some sort of restructuring of the two Action Sports brands, possibly to form one umbrella label to cover all genres. Nike Retros are poised for a strong year, with the Diamond Turf II, Total Griffey Max ’99, Zoom Huarache 2k4, and Air Max NM all making news this past week. On the flipside, the Zoom Rookie – a Retro-inspired hybrid – caught our attention with another look at the ‘Eggplant’ as well as a look at a Black/Gold sample. On adidas’ side, the adiRose Dominate came to light with the All-Star and Lei Feng special edition releases. Celebrity Feet is always a popular section on Sneaker News, and one common name is Wale, who owned all the headlines in that category until Chi McBride broke necks with some sick Jordans. Finally, Jason Negron continued his works of Foamposite art with a ‘Knicks’ custom. We’ve got plenty more headlines below so take a look at the Sneaker News Weekly Rewind to stay on top of all-things sneakers!

Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 12/31 – 1/6
Welcome to the first Sneaker News Weekly Rewind of 2012. As you will see below, the onslaught of sick releases and events didn’t miss a beat, so let’s see what went down during the last seven days. To start off, Nike introduced the ‘Year Of The Dragon’ collection, featuring the Air Force 1, KD IV, Zoom Kobe VII, and the Air Jordan 2012. Jordan Brand unveiled the Jordan CP3.V this week at a special media event in Los Angeles, but we also brought you a better look at the new Jordan Retro box for 2012. The KD IV has risen atop the sneaker rankings, but it’s the GR colorways that we showed you this week that truly help build the following. The Zoom Kobe VII, which already has its solid group of fans, now has solid release dates for some highly anticipated colorways, but no RD yet for the crazy ‘Big Bang’ edition that showed up late this week. It all points to a great NBA Feet recap from the New Years weekend, which we gathered for you below.
Nike SB developments are always a headline here on Sneaker News, and this week brought a look at some great upcoming kicks like the 2012 vulc sole SB Dunks. Jeremy Scott won’t disappoint this Spring, as we gave you a look at some upcoming Spring releases. The Lunar Flow got an interesting premium upgrade with leather, pairing luxury with sport for a nice combo of material and design. Elsewhere in the lifestyle world, we got our first peek at a mysterious new Asics GT-II colorway courtesy of Theophilus London. The celebrities were out and about once again, with Lil’ Wayne, NY Giants Wide Receiver Victor Cruz, and SNL funny-man Jason Sudeikis making headlines. Nike launched its #MAKEITCOUNT campaign, challenging athletes to make 2012 a memorable year. Finally, Sneaker News launched the Top 30 Sneaker Of 2011 Book, giving hardcore sneaker-heads a hard copy of the best year-end sneaker review list of 2011. Check out the rest of Weekly Rewind after the jump, and brace yourself for the best sneaker news and info for 2012!
