This week of releases is filled across the board with everything from high fashion collaborations, to retro basketball silhouettes, and everything in between.
The drops start Wednesday when JW Anderson drops his third collab with Converse dubbed the "New_Classics" pack. Releases pick up again on Thursday with Adidas debuting a new women's lifestyle model, the Arkyn, in four colorways, a second iteration of the Nike KD X inspired by the Golden State Warriors' "City Edition" jerseys, and a new color scheme on the OG-inspired Huarache '91.
On Friday, the drops continue with a quartet of colorways of the Air VaporMax Plus for men and women, a new Reimagined collection of Air Jordan Is and Air Force 1s for the ladies in monochromatic Spring tones, and two new pairs of the Vapor Street Flyknit from Nike.
This round of releases concludes on Saturday with the release of a new colorway of the Nike Air Maestro 2 LTD model originally released by Ronnie Fieg, an Air Jordan XXXII paying homage to one of MJ's playoff superstitions, a girls Air Jordan XI Low in black and coral, and an Air Jordan XVIII, worn by Jordan during his time with the Washington Wizards, done up in a red suede as a callback to his more notable time with the Chicago Bulls.
