However, in the sneaker community, we too have a lot to be thankful for. This year has been infused with retros that had not been seen prior, and some brands saw new life by bringing back some old favorites. There is surely more heat to come as the year comes to a close. Now that you have had the chance to stuff your face and tell jokes with family, watch football and plot “Black Friday” activities, take a little time to flip through 15 Sneakers We at Nice Kicks Are Most Thankful For Returning in 2012.

Ewing 33 Hi

The sneaker world was set on fire when word of the Ewing 33 Hi was going to retro earlier this year. Ewing athletics kept details scarce at first, then released the “Red Suede” and original “Home” colorways back on September 29 at selected retailers to much fanfare. Patrick Ewing even made an appearance for special events based around the iconic sneaker. The “Black Leather” and “Blue Suede” colors are set to release next Wednesday, November 28.
