10 Sneaker Headlines To Remember From September 2014

October Headlines 2014

Back to school season is in full swing, and the sneaker world is starting to heat up in preparation for the holiday rush. With that being said, the past month hasn’t exactly been slow in terms of headlines and big events in the sneaker world. We got a preview of what was coming in terms of the aforementioned holiday rush in the Air Jordan “Ultimate Gift of Flight” pack, a two-sneaker set which should help conjure up the standard Jordan 11 hysteria for December. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg in terms of sneaker headlines to remember from this past September.

This month was particularly dense with the sort of behind-the-scenes moves that have broader potential for change than any singular shoe release. We’re talking Kevin Durant finally inking a new deal with Nike after all that Under Armour speculation. We’re talking about adidas bringing three top Nike designers to their side and setting up a new design studio in Brooklyn for them to work out of. Lest we spoil the whole group for you, continue reading to get up on the rest of the biggest sneaker headlines to remember from this past month.
