What You Need to Know: Jan. 22 marks the 13th anniversary of Kobe Bryant's historic 81-point performance against the Toronto Raptors in 2006. To commemorate the occasion, Nike is dropping a new Kobe 1 Protro in the same colorway that the Black Mamba wore during the amazing performance. A white leather upper is accented by a black Swoosh, purple hits on the heel and midsole, and subtle yellow detailing to match the uniforms of the Los Angeles Lakers. This pair also features all of the updated details of the Protro model like a more lightweight upper and full-length Zoom Air.

What You Need to Know: Jordan Brand is dropping a brand new colorway of the Air Jordan I. The "Hyper Crimson" color scheme features a black tumbled leather upper with grey suede overlays. A patina'd Hyper Crimson ankle collar slightly resembles the vintage-inspired detail seen previously on the Union x Air Jordan I collab. A cream-colored Wings logo and midsole add to the old school look. "SP 19 Air Jordan 1 High OG" is written under the Swoosh on the lateral side panel, a subtle detail that can't help but evoke thoughts of Virgil Abloh's trademark branding seen across the Off-White x Nike "The Ten" range.

Official NASA detailing comes in the form of NASA and Apollo 16 crests on each respective heel, an American flag patch on the right tongue, and a red "Remove Before Flight" hang tag.

What You Need to Know: Jordan Brand has crafted another Air Jordan V colorway inspired by Michael Jordan's high school, Emsley A. Laney. Differing from the "Laney" Air Jordan V that originally released in 2000, this pair swaps out a white leather upper in favor of a royal blue nubuck. Yellow hits appear on the midsole, liner, "23" embroidery on the lateral heel, and tongue to match the team colors of the Buccaneers. A chenille Jumpman on the tongue further adds to the high school-inspired design.
