A lot of sneaker news happens each day, so it's hard to sift through all of it and shake out the clutter. Your Twitter feed is likely full of Air Jordans releases dates and sneakers on sale, but what's worth paying attention to? Beyond that, there are daily industry rumbles that may affect the athletic footwear world as a whole. Oh, and memes, Vines, and other shenanigans, too. Here's what you need to know.
"What makes this sneaker different from its predecessor is that it straddles the space between running shoe and sneakerboot. It's something you'd expect from Nike ACG. According to Hanon Shop, who will be selling these Huaraches on October 15, the Utility includes, "A neoprene Huarache sock upper which provides foot hugging comfort, a Magwire lacing system for optimum foot securing capabilities, meanwhile a fused mudguard provides protection from the elements."
"Previewed on Hupu, these new Air Prestos ditch the model's traditional stretch mesh upper in favor of a knitted construction. Given the Air Presto's simplified minimalist design, this is the sort of thing that was bound to happen sooner or later. Thus far, we can confirm that these Flyknit Prestos will be releasing in tonal off-white, pictured above, along with a royal blue version finished with a white midsole."
"Introduced last April, this popular option allowed sneakerheads to deck out the Air Max 90's upper in a variety of pony hair-based patterns including spotted, leopard, zebra, and cheetah. This opened up the possibility to emulate popular runner colorways like the "Animal Pack" Air Max range, but now the plug is about to be officially pulled."
"After debuting "Pinnacle" and "MTM" Jordan 1s during recent promo events, Michael Jordan broke out a pair of "Cyber Monday" 1s for a panel with designer Tinker Hatfield and sportscaster Ahmad Rashad. The sleek monochrome look on the "Cyber Monday" release complemented the G.O.A.T.'s suit well, giving us an idea of just how easy it will be to dress these 1s up if so desired."
"For this latest round, adidas has designed a "wave" pattern into the shoe's Primeknit upper allowing for a gradation of color to be featured. Consisting of five colorways, the collection features a little something for everyone. For fans that insist on only rocking black and white, adidas has you covered with new takes on the classic colorways. For fans that enjoy more colorful offerings, the latter three might be more to your liking."
