Following up the extensive offerings from a loaded weekend of releases during NBA All-Star Weekend out in Los Angeles last weekend, brands are once again back to deliver another round of worthy drops. 

This week's important releases begin on Thursday with the return of the highly-coveted Nike Air Force 1 "Hong Kong" from 2001. Also releasing on Feb. 22 is Nike's newest competition for the Adidas Ultra Boost, the Nike Epic React Flyknit. The Epic React Flyknit will debut in two colorways for both men and women. A "Wolf Grey" color scheme of the KD X will also be hitting Nike Basketball retailers on Thursday.

Nike continues its offering on Friday with the release of a "Triple Black" Flyknit Trainer and the white and red "Mo'Money" Air More Money. London skate brand Palace is also delivering new footwear on Friday in the form of three pairs of the retro Workout model accented with neon tones in collaboration with Reebok. A trio of all white Adidas models dubbed the "Blank Canvas" pack will be hitting select retailers as well to celebrate the Hindu festival of Holi, courtesy of Pharrell. 

Finishing out the week, Adidas will be dropping a four-shoe collaboration with Japan streetwear label Neighborhood. Nike's Saturday deliveries include a new PG 2 to match the home jerseys of the OKC Thunder, a kids-exclusive grey and orange LeBron 15 that closely resembles the famed "Pigeon" color scheme, a "Cool Grey" VaporMax Plus, and the long-awaited return of the OG "Gundam" colorway of the Air Max 98. Jordan Brand's big Saturday release this week is going to be the "Bred Toe" Air Jordan I, a brand new colorway that combines the color blocking of the classic "Bred" and "Black Toe" pairs.
