While this week boasts fewer releases than most, there is still solid offerings from Nike and Jordan Brand, as well as a handful of Adidas collaborations to look forward to.
The releases kick off on Wednesday when Sneakersnstuff drops exclusive pairs of the Adidas EQT Support Mid ADV PK and EQT Basket ADV in subtle sand colorways. Adidas' big week continues on Thursday when four pastel-colored pairs drop in collaboration with LA-based brand Oyster Holdings.
On Friday, Nike's first two big drops of the week arrive when the Nike LeBron XV "Fruity Pebbles" and Virgil Abloh's second iteration of the Air VaporMax both drop at select retailers. Adidas also has another big drop on Friday. Kith is launching its "Element Exploration Agency" capsule collection that features three pairs of outdoor-ready Adidas Terrex models: the Agravic GTX, Jawpaw Slip-On, and Response TR Boost.
This week of releases concludes on Saturday with an eco-friendly NMD_CS1 from Parley and Adidas, two colorways of the LeBron XV Low, and a new pair of the Air Jordan XI Low with an emerald green patent leather dropping especially for Easter.
