The return of the popular "Concord" Air Jordan XI in its OG form, a four-shoe collection between Carhartt WIP and Nike, and SoleFly's Air Jordan I to celebrate Art Basel Miami 2018 highlight this week of sneaker releases.
Drops kick off on Thursday with the Carhartt WIP x Nike collection, "Miami" Air Max Plus/97, "Atlanta" Air Force 1, and "Houston" Air Max 95. On Friday, Adidas delivers a basketball-inspired collaboration with Eric Emanuel and the "True Green" Ultra Boost.
A majority of the week's best releases occur on Saturday. The End. Clothing x Vans "Vertigo" pack, "Greedy" Nike Air Max Plus, SoleFly x Air Jordan I, and highly-anticipated "Concord" Air Jordan XI will all hit select retailers. Next Monday, Nike will introduce its latest online customization platform, "Maharishi By You," in collaboration with the London-based clothing brand.

Eric Emanuel x Adidas
Adidas Ultra Boost 'True Green'
End. Clothing x Vans 'Vertigo' Pack
Price: $99-$109
When: Saturday, Dec. 8
Where: endclothing.com
What You Need to Know: Popular retailer End. Clothing has put its spin on two classic Vans silhouettes for its upcoming "Vertigo" pack. The Old Skool and Slip-On are covered in a trippy take on the California brand's signature checkerboard pattern. The nature of the wavy pattern means that no two pairs will be exactly alike. Solid-colored leather panels and foot beds provide a more premium feel than your usual Vans sneaker, and offset the eye-catching optical illusion.
