The pair is accented by a black leather tongue tab, cream leather heel tab, black speckled heel, and a crimson ankle collar and Flywire lace loops.

What You Need to Know: Nike SB and Japanese toy maker Medicom have teamed up once again to drop a recreated version of their Dunk Low collab from 2004. The same basic color scheme is used. White mesh replaces the OG white leather across the upper for a more lightweight construction, while blue and orange leather accents are still used throughout. However, this time around the duo adds tan suede panels to the upper. The biggest change is that instead of a traditional Dunk Low, the colorway has been placed on the SB Zoom Dunk High Elite, a modern take on the Dunk silhouette complete with a sock-like Flyknit ankle collar. Special insoles and a Be@rbrick logo stitched on the lateral heel act as special details.

What You Need to Know: Jordan Brand brings back one of the most popular non-OG colorways of the Air Jordan I. This women's-exclusive pair covers the black, orange, and cream "Shattered Backboard" color scheme with a luxurious satin material. Staying true to the quality of the original 2015 release, the mid panels still use a cream-colored tumbled leather. Despite being released in women's sizing only, the pair will drop up to a size 12, equivalent to a men's 10.5. So, not all hope is lost for any men trying to cop this weekend.

The translucent white upper is accented by crimson on the midsole, branding, and insole. Another notable feature of the Zoom Fly SP is its giant Swoosh branding.
