The Swoosh kicks off its big week on Tuesday with the release of the "Camo Sunset" Air Max 270. It will pick back up on Thursday with the arrival of the "Team Red" Air Max 98 for men, and "Solar Red" and "Radiant Emerald" Air Max 98 for women. Also dropping for women on Thursday is the "Dark Sea" Air VaporMax 97, "Rook to Queen" Air Jordan XI Low inspired by WNBA star Maya Moore from Nike's "Art of a Champion" pack, and a Blazer commemorating Serena Williams' return to grand slam tennis competition. Men can look forward to the "Elemental Gold" Air Humara and OG "White/Varsity Red" Air More Uptempo.
On Friday the releases continue with a "Shock Orange" Air Max 97 Plus that originally released in 2008, Nike's pastel-colored "Spring Patchwork" pack, and a "Hyper Jade" pair of the Air Maestro 2 LTD.
Nike is not the only brand dropping product this week. Puma is also releasing a special collaboration with luxury goods brand MCM that consists of three colorways of the Suede and matching apparel on Friday.
Releases finish off on Saturday with Nike releasing the Air Force 1 Foamposite Pro Cup, Air Jordan XI "Cap and Gown" inspired by graduation ceremonies, and an "SVSM" Air Zoom Generation PE paying homage to LeBron James' high school.
