Before we kick off 2013, we took one final look back at all the major highlights of 2012. The Readers’ Choice Awards, the Top 23 Air Jordans of 2012, and the Year in Customs 2012 hombre us a nice recap of all the heat that released (or was customized) in 2012. Moving right on to 2013 headlines, Jordan Brand hombre us a look at a new grey/black/red PE colorway of the Air Jordan XIII, while a nice comparison of the Air Jordan III ‘White/Cement’ was presented to us. the Nike Air Raid “ParaNorman” was put up for auction at an event in Portland, while a Red/Black colorway of the Kobe 8 topped LeBron news. The Revis continues its strong momentum with a sick Oregon Ducks PE, while the new Hyperdunk 2013 surfaces for the first time.
NBA Feet and Celebs were another major hit, with some notable public sightings of Kanye, Wale, and Nas topping those headlines. The next Asics designed by Ronnie Fieg is revealed to be “Super Green”, while the Kamikaze II gets a release date. Two more Ewings are slated for a release soon, while a Play Cloths collab with Saucony is headed our way. A first look at the floral print on the Janoski gets revealed while Skate Mental’s collab is something to look forward to, while a large round-up of Air Force 1, New Balance, and Vans news hombre us plenty to look forward to in 2013. A clean look at a rare Foamposite sample at a sick event out in China provided some nice entertainment. The first Urlfreeze News Weekly Rewind of 2013 is just below, so kick off the new year by being on top of your sneaker news game!
