Sneaker News Weekly Rewind: 6/19 – 6/25

Sneaker News Weekly Rewind:  6/19   6/25

The last week featured a plethora of scene-stealing Sneaker News; on the heels of Kobe’s 5th Championship, we got a first look at LeBron’s eighth signature shoe – until Kobe brought a new colorway of the Zoom Kobe V for the Championship Parade. LeBron’s free-agency in-decision has been the #1 topic in NBA news but a youngster named John Wall has a set future for now, as he was drafted first overall while being chosen to represent the Reebok Basketball label. The celebs were out in full force, as three of the best MC’s of this decade – Kanye, Hova, and Eminem – were out and about in some notable sneakers. Nike SB and Nike Running did what it could to get some notice, as we got a look at some early-2011 Nike SB releases, a sea of Air Max 2011 colorways, and an Air Max 24/7 in a familiar colorway.

But in the end, it was Jordan Brand who stole the spotlight and ruled the week; Sneaker News gave you a look into the next Air Jordan VII Retro and an OG AJ IX  while confirming the releases of some big-time retros like Air Jordan III White Cement and the ‘Playoffs’ Air Jordan XIII. But surprisingly, it wasn’t the Retros or even the OG Jordan Brand apparel that caused the most buzz; Sneaker News gave you notice of two Jordan hybrid projects – one involved Air Max and the other a two-model hybrid with Collezione Package pairings. Don’t let this week fly over your head because there are enough teasers and previews to enjoy, so stop in and check out this week’s Sneaker News Weekly Rewind.

Air Jordan IX Retro – Black/Citrus – Release Date Changed

All year long, the Citrus 9s were much anticipated. Many sneakerheads were counting down the days on the calendars, waiting for July 3rd to come. However, we have some breaking news. Foot Locker has moved up the release date two days early to July 1st, which just so happens to be a Thursday. Thursday is an unusual day for an Air Jordan release considering that most Jordan’s are released on a Saturday. For now, this release date change only applies to Foot Locker, but if any other retailers follow, we will let you know. This is great news for most people, but it could be bad news for some trying to save up with two less days. Look for these July 1st at Foot Locker locations and Footlocker.com

Wallabee x Nike Air Max 1 Premium – Brown – Gum | Fall 2010 Sample

Wallabee x Nike Air Max 1 Premium   Brown   Gum | Fall 2010 Sample

Hybrids have caught our attention lately, haven’t they? The buy-jordans.com/2010/06/25/air-jordan-cmft-max-11-first-look/”>Air Jordan XI x Air Max 1 was a sure-fire topic of conversation because of the partnership that was once thought improbable. The buy-jordans.com/category/air-max/air-max-1/”>Nike Air Max 1 again is in focus, but this “hybrid” of sorts is a lot more subtle than what Jordan Brand did. Take a look at this Sample pair of the Wallabee x Nike Air Max 1; everything about the shoe is from the eighty-seven except the outsole, which appears to be crepe-like material found on the resurgent buy-jordans.com/2009/08/18/concepts-x-clarks-originals-wallabee-september-09/”>Clarks Wallabee lifestyle shoe. No word on whether Clarks had any part of this production, but we can expect this colorway to drop in Fall 2010 (if they don’t get scrapped, that is). Take a closer look after the jump and although the auction is closed, check out the listing for this sample from langox510x on eBay.

Air Jordan VII Retro – White/Orion Blue/Black/Infrared

We just got word that the White Cement 3s and the Playoffs 13s will get a 2011 release. In addition to those two, Jordan Brand will also release these 7s. This Air Jordan VII Retro comes in a White/Orion Blue/Black/Infrared colorway. Just when we thought that Jordan Brand will ease up a bit, their going even harder.

At the first look, these might look like the Air Jordan 7 “Pacific Blue” that released back in 2006. But, the colorway is entirely different from the pacific’s. These 7s sports a nice and clean white leather upper. Orion blue and infrared accents are evenly split onto the sole, tongue, and heel. The last time we saw a pair of 7s was in 2009, so it’s nice to have it back. What do you think of this latest Air Jordan VII Retro?

Air Jordan XIII Retro – “Playoffs” – Confirmed for 2011

Yesterday we got the much awaited confirmation of the white cement 3s. We all know what that shoe means to sneakerheads, so it was a special day. Well today we got another confirmation as the Playoff 13s have been confirmed for a release. Just like the white cements, these will release sometime in 2011. These aren’t going to get as much hype as the white cements, but it’s still a big release. These 13s are dubbed “Playoffs” because Michael Jordan wore these during the 1998 NBA Playoffs. These will certainly be overshadowed by the Flints, but these will be one of the spotlights in 2011. These are expected to release January 2011, which is a good 7 months away. So, do you plan to cop?

Nike Auto Trainer GS – White – Grey – Lemon – Green

Nike Auto Trainer GS   White   Grey   Lemon   Green

Here’s a shoe that’ll have youngsters excited for a blast from the past and the older Nike heads screaming “WHY?”. The more accurate cry of disbelief would be “Why not?”, as in “Why not retro the original Nike Air Trainer SC II 3/4?”. Perhaps it’s better to have something than nothing at all; check out the buy-jordans.com/2010/03/10/nike-auto-trainer-fall-2010-preview/”>Nike Auto Trainer GS,  the vulc-soled version of the Nike Air Trainer SC II 3/4 from the peak of Nike Training of two decades ago. The colorway of white, grey, and a tennis-ball-esque lemon yellow and green is definitely a nice combination and actually brings out the best of this hybrid shoe. These kids sizes just dropped at Wish so stick with Sneaker News and we’ll let you know when the mens/womens varieties become available.

Nike SB P-Rod IV – Burgundy – White

Nike SB P Rod IV   Burgundy   White

The buy-jordans.com/2009/12/30/nike-sb-zoom-p-rod-4-2010-apparel/”>Nike SB P-Rod IV has seen a interesting maturation over the years; since the first Paul Rodriguez shoe – the Nike SB P-Rod 1 – each P-Rod signature shoe experienced a slim-down along with a lower profile, sticking more to the classic skate designs originated by the likes of Vans. This latest colorway of burgundy and white is similar to the Retro-Phillies burgundy and university blue buy-jordans.com/2010/05/21/nike-sb-p-rod-2-5-deep-burgundy-university-blue-june-2010/”>P-Rod 2.5 that we previewed not long ago, utilizing the rich burgundy suede upper with a white swoosh and midsole. This latest P-Rod should hit Nike SB retailers soon as part of the Fall 2010 collection. via Colmilludo.

Here’s another look at the upcoming buy-jordans.com/2010/06/01/nike-sb-zoom-stefan-janoski-mid/”>Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Mid.  Rising from its previous incarnation as a lowtop, these are a sort of Un-Blazer CS, with both pairs meeting in the middle, right around the ankle.  This first pair features the same simple styling that made the original Janoskis such a hit, with a black suede upper adding white on the Swooshes and tongue tag.  If these are anything like the Janoski Lows, you can expect Stefan himself to leak photos similar to the one above, and we’ll show you all of them here on Sneaker News.  via N-SB.org

Air Jordan 2010 Playground Outdoor – Black – White

Air Jordan 2010 Playground Outdoor   Black   White
The buy-jordans.com/2010/06/09/air-jordan-2010-playground-outdoor-for-love-of-the-game/”>Air Jordan 2010 Playground Outdoor was created specifically to meet the demands of ballin’ on blacktop, and here’s a pair to match the surface.  These new buy-jordans.com/2010/05/20/air-jordan-2010-playground-outdoor-white-black-varsity-red-new-images/”>AJ2010 Outdoors are as dark as most playgrounds after 9pm, save the white embroidery that adds branding to the tongues and criss-crossing straps.  This is a no-nonsense shoe whose only potential weakness (being all-black) is offset by the huge shotgun perforations lining the side panels.  Quite possibly the best (and best-looking) outdoor basketball shoe since the legendary Nike Air Raid, these black/white AJ2010 Outdoors will be out later this year.  Click the jump below for more images and stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via Kinstor.
