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.

Michael Jordan Is Wearing a Supreme x Air Jordan T-Shirt

"Jordan was spotted today on Supreme's Instagram wearing a T-shirt from the collection in a picture photographed by Terry Richardson. The shirt trades the "R" in Supreme for the Jumpman logo and shows that, when he's not busy dancing to Drake rap about him, Jordan himself is down with the streetwear label."

The Supreme x Air Jordan Vs Are Not Releasing in the NYC Store


"An image from @solejuken, pictured below, shows a note on Supreme's Lafayette Street NYC location that says the Jordan V collaboration will not be sold in store. It then instructs customers to sign up for its newsletter for more information on the release."

LeBron's Favorite Sneakers Are a Pair That He Lost a Game In

"While some may be expecting the Nike LeBron IX Elite — the model James wore during his first NBA Championship win — or one of the subsequent "Championship" packs, it was actually a sneaker that he took an L in: the "First Game" colorway of the Air Zoom Generation."

Here's the First Review of adidas' 3D-Printed Futurecraft Sneaker

"The pair make it a point to note that despite the upper's similarities to the Ultra Boost, this is a completely new sneaker. According to them, the Futurecraft's 3D-printed midsole isn't quite as cloud-like and responsive as Boost, however they say that it's still extremely comfortable and actually feels more stable."

A Company Is Completely Ripping Off Every Kanye West x adidas Sneaker

"The brand is doing straight-up copies of the adidas Yeezy 350 and 750 Boosts, as well as low-cut versions of the 750 Boosts and models spliced with different soles. And they're selling them for cheap, too. All of the pairs are available for less than $80."
