The holiday weekend is almost upon us and we've got you covered with all the sneakers that you should have on your radar.

First, there's the popular "Carmine" Air Jordan VI that will be re-released for the first time since it was included in a Countdown Pack back in 2008. This same red and white color palette is applied to MJ's first signature sneaker, as the all-new "Carmine" 1 joins the VI for a Saturday morning release.

Nike Basketball accounts for five releases, which includes some international vibes by way of the Kobe 9 EM "Philippines" and KD VI "Brazil." The Kobes drop on Friday, while the KDs will see the normal Saturday release.

Finally, your holiday will conclude with the release of the the Jordan Future "Concord" and "Royal" on the morning of Memorial Day.
