The weekend drops kick off with two special styles releasing directly from NikeLab—the rugged Flyknit Trainer FSB, which comes in a crazy all-white color scheme, and a murdered-out Shox Mid TLX. Going into Saturday is the "Elephtan Print" Foamposite Pro and the all-new HyperCross trainer brought to you by Air Yeezy II designer Nathan VanHook. Rounding out the bunch is Ronnie Fieg's first-ever collaboration with adidas, which commemorates the NYPD and the people of New York who stood tall during the events of 9/11.
