If you missed out on Sneaker News this week, chances are you’re very much behind. The world of sneakers is a round-the-clock news-feed, and Sneaker News does whatever it takes to keep you in the know. This week, Jordan Brand introduced its latest athlete in Maya Moore, who is also the brand’s first official female athlete. We were also given a nice look at three colorways of the Air Jordan 2011 Quick Fuse. Playboy magazine is also getting in on the sneaker fun, as we got a preview of Playboy’s 23 best Air Jordans of all time. Kobe Bryant is certainly following in MJ’s footsteps, and although another three-peat is out of the question, we did get a look at some new upcoming releases, one of which involved Nike SB – the Zoom Kobe VI x Zoom Koston One hybrid. The Lakers were left behind, but the remaining 4 teams continue to battle it out as we got a look at their Conference Finals kicks – the most notable being Kevin Durant’s Scoring Title PEs.
Sneaker News also filled you in on a ton of upcoming releases, like two new Air Max running models, the Fuse-uppered Hypershox, the Air Diamond Turf II, a re-mastered version of the Air Max2 CB ’94, and yet another Air Griffey hybrid shoe. In other brand news, the next Ronnie Fieg x Asics collaboration was put on the spotlight, as was Reebok’s upcoming Swizz Beatz and John Wall releases. The Black/Electric Green Foamposite One also released this week in Quickstrike fashion, as they were available in limited number exclusively at House of Hoops locations. Sneakerpedia was a fun-filled, sneaker-centric event, as the NYC Launch went down this past Tuesday night, with celebrities like Bun B and the ATF Crew in attendance. Other celebrities not directly known for their sneakers showed off their sneaker game as well, as SN Celebrity Feet regulars Jay-Z and Fabolous made some of their own news. And finally, we kicked off our second Buyer’s Guide, offering this week’s best new releases that might have slipped under the radar. Sneaker News Weekly Rewind is here to end the week right, so take a look below and be on top of your sneaker news game!
The last Nike Air Max Humara preview run here on Sneaker News caught our eye with a 3M eyestay, but the pair pictured above is more about reflecting the nike free run 3.0 mens season. Coming up for a November release, this combination of the Terra Humara with the faux-retro Air Max Correlate sole setup features a mix of Total Orange and burgundy atop a black and Dark Obsidian base. The result is something like an ESPN Thursday night game at Lane Stadium, and you can see more of the latest Virginia Tech-flavored fall release from Nike Sportswear after the jump before pre-ordering from Titolo.
