This week's roundup of releases showcases a ton of new collaborations from Nike, Converse, Puma, and Reebok along with plenty of other big releases to look forward to.

The drops start on Tuesday with the release of Nike's latest self-lacing HyperAdapt 1.0 with a digi-camo upper. Wednesday also has one big release. Nike Basketball is dropping a pack of signature sneakers inspired by the NBA's City Edition jerseys. A LeBron 15, Kyrie 4, Kobe A.D. Mid, and KD X will all be a part of the collection.

On Thursday, Nike releases a chromed-out Foamposite One and multiple pastel-toned pairs of the Air Jordan 1 exclusively for the ladies, as well as multiple pairs of the VaporMax Plus model that takes inspiration from a popular '90s runner, the Air Max Plus, in men's and women's exclusive colorways. Also dropping Thursday is Vince Staples' first collaboration with Converse inspired by his 2017 album Big Fish Theory.

The latest shoe to get the "Wheat" treatment from Nike is the Air Pippen 1 that will be hitting stores on Friday alongside the OG "Tour Yellow" colorway of the Air Max 98. Arguably the week's biggest release arrives Friday courtesy of Nike as well. Kendrick Lamar's Nike collaboration, the Cortez Kenny 1, is dropping before this weekend's Grammy Awards to celebrate the multiple nominations that his 2017 project Damn. received. Aside from new pairs from the Swoosh, Adidas is dropping a bleached version of the Prophere and Puma is releasing a collaboration with the clothing label synonymous with '90s hip-hop, Fubu.

This weekend, UK's Hanon Shop is dropping a collab on the Reebok Workout Lo Plus inspired by beer bellies, Diamond Supply Co. is dropping a handful of classic Puma silhouettes, Adidas is debuting its newest Boost-equipped basketball sneaker, the BYW LVL 1, in limited quantities, and Jordan Brand is giving retro fans a never-before-seen colorway of the Air Jordan X with an all grey upper and multicolor hits on the outsole.
