What You Need to Know: While pairs have already dropped overseas in recent weeks, the long awaited return of 1999's Nike Air Max Deluxe is finally hitting U.S. retailers this week. The first colorway to mark the return of the '90s favorite will be a women's exclusive. Blue, yellow, navy blue, and purple hits accent the rave-inspired pattern across the silhouette's neoprene upper. A molded Foamposite heel and midsole unit borrowed from the Air Max 97 act as final details on the busy design.

What You Need to Know: As the NBA offseason chugs along, Nike continues to drop new pairs of its signature athlete's current on-court footwear. This week, the Kyrie 4 arrives in a simple "Triple Black" colorway that covers every aspect of the mid-top in the dark shade. Subtle contrast comes from grey marbling on the outsole and a grey Kyrie logo on the tongue.

What You Need to Know: One of the most popular pairs from Virgil Abloh's original "The Ten" collection with Nike was the designer's take on the Air Presto. After months of teasers, the second installment of Abloh's deconstructed version is finally arriving at retailers. The first half of the "Polar Opposites" pack, this release covers the model in an all-black upper with signature details like a sewed-on white Swoosh, "AIR" written on the heel, orange tabs, and a red zip tie all making an appearance. As is the case for all of Abloh's previous work with Nike, expect these to be nearly impossible to acquire on Friday morning. Have fun trying to avoid that dreaded L though.

What You Need to Know: For its latest exclusive release, European retailer size? is taking inspiration from the early days of Vans. This multicolored Style 36 is inspired by an original promo sample created by Vans during its infancy to showcase the various color options available for customers to customize their pairs with. Red, pink, purple, navy blue, yellow, and green suede panels give this pair a "What The" vibe. Red and blue Vans branding is repeated across the midsole as well that further adds to the retro feel of this release.

What You Need to Know: Taking cues from one of the most popular Air Jordans of all time, Jordan Brand is dropping the "Cement" Air Jordan X this Saturday.

What You Need to Know: Taking some inspiration from the OG Air Foamposite One, Nike has given the Air Flightposite the "Royal" treatment. A royal blue Foamposite upper and black neoprene shroud enclose the model's inner bootie. A zipper on the outer shroud can cover or expose the lacing system of this early 2000s performance model that would pair perfectly with a throwback Kevin Garnett T'Wolves jersey.

What You Need to Know: Acting as a close cousin to the women's "Floral Camo" pack dropping on the same day, men are getting their own camo-covered Air Max as well. This Air Max 95 covers the wavy leather upper in desert camouflage and accents the design with bright orange hits on the lace loops, branding, and Air unit. Like the military-inspired pairs releasing for women, this one also sits atop a gum outsole.

What You Need to Know: Continuing its 25th anniversary celebration, Shoe Palace is releasing another special edition collaboration on the Air Huarache. The follow-up to the metallic silver Air Huarache Zip is a traditional styling of the 1992 runner with a white mesh and leather upper, metallic red hits on the tongue branding, outer cage, and heel strap, and black-and-white artwork from Bay Area artist Joonbug on the neoprene bootie.

What You Need to Know: Earlier this month, news broke that Adidas would be bringing back its Ultra Boost Collective collaborations in 2018. The first pair dropping from the new lineup will be designed by German boutique A Kind of Guise. This uncaged version of the popular runner instead features a lacing system that extends down to the midsole. Another notable difference is the striped pattern across the entirety of the tan knit upper. Other details on this pair inspired by the Mediterranean coastline are AKOG branding stamped on the lateral heel, suede hits on the tongue and heel, leather detailing, and a marbled yellow, white, and orange outsole.
