Good news. We are a few days away from making it through another insane year. Unfortunately for sneakerheads, that means there is a very limited number of drops left to cop or drop. Despite a very limited offering, Nike and Jordan Brand have still delivered a handful of goods for some people to make their final cop of 2017.
On Wednesday, Nike is releasing the third installment of its Air More Uptempo pack inspired by some of America's finest cities. The final colorway is a Yankees-colored pair paying homage to New York City. Nike is also introducing a brand new iteration of its popular Vapormax silhouette, the Chukka Slip. Both black and white versions of this laceless, mid-cut silhouette will be hitting select stores.
The final big releases of 2017 will drop Saturday. The sixth and final installment from Jordan Brand's popular Gatorade collection will be releasing, a green suede Air Jordan VI with orange accents and Gatorade detailing. Also dropping will be a limited pair of Air Jordan Xs designed by Canadian tattoo artist Steve Wiebe. This all-red pair with black accents will be dropping exclusively at House of Hoops Harlem.
Finally, Kith will be dropping its highly anticipated, three shoe "Long Live the King" pack of Nike LeBron 15s in celebration of LeBron James' 33rd birthday this Saturday.
