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.
"Based on a number of Nikestore live chat screenshots coming out of Europe, it appears that a date of October 15 has been cemented for this much-anticipated drop."
This Is the First Look at the Newest Nike Pegasus Model
"Aesthetically, this new model sticks to the script, opting for a Swoosh at the rear panel and heavy use of Flywire cabling for support. The construction is similar, too, as it makes use of an engineered mesh build from toe to heel. Down below, an encapsulated Zoom Air setup ensures that these will be comfortable and responsive whether you're logging miles towards a new personal record or just flexing them as part of your 'fit."
"Although these don't come with all the bells and whistles that you'll find on the Nike pair, they can be had for literally a fraction of the going rate for the real deal. What's more is they can be "upgraded" with custom kits available on eBay that will bring these even closer to the authentic aesthetic. When it comes to grail-level sneakers like the Mag, sometimes you just have to fake it 'til you make it."
Here's Everything We Know So Far About adidas' 3D-Printed Sneaker Technology
"The first thing you need to know is that adidas Futurecraft 3D is still in prototype form and a few kinks will need to be worked out before it's ready to hit stores. "It'd be easy to make a 3D-printed product for a lifestyle shoe, but it's hard to make a 3D-printed product for performance," Liedtke said."
James Harden Made His adidas Debut in a Pair of Boost Sneakers Last Night
"As the Houston Rockets faltered 89-92 in a road loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, Harden did his part in a pair of red Crazylight Boost 2015s. This was actually one of the pairs that adidas sent him, and it's also one of the only models he's been spotted in so far. Harden had 11 points and 3 rebounds in just 20 minutes, giving us a glimpse of what to expect when the season officially tips off later this month."
