Following last weekend's packed release schedule, this week's offerings may look rather scant in comparison, but that's just because there's little to no filler. Nearly every single drop this weekend is a certified banger.
First up is the Air Jordan XI Retro Low "True Red," better known as the "Bred" colorway. This particular low top has been rumored since 2011, so it goes without saying that plenty of 'heads will be ready and waiting for this release. Besides these, things will be relatively quiet for Jordan Brand this weekend.
Nike's got a handful of releases up its sleeve, including two Kobe X drops and the first stateside appearance of the "White Hot" Sportswear pack featuring the Blazer, Dunk High, and Lunar Force 1 Low. On the SB tip, the buzzed-about "Mag" release will hit skates hops, although word has it that a miscommunication over the sample version has resulted in limited stock at many locations, so plan accordingly.
Elsewhere, Sneakersnstuff brews up a metallic Stan Smith, Atlanta's Epitome gets busy on a Saucony classic, and two of last weekend's runner collabs will see wider releases. Find out all the details with A Complete Guide to This Weekend's Sneaker Releases.
