If you are looking to treat yourself, or a loved one, with a fresh pair of sneakers for Easter Sunday, there is a ton of new sneaker releases arriving this week from usual suspects like Nike, Jordan Brand, Adidas, and New Balance that are worthy of selecting.
Releases kick off on Wednesday with Adidas dropping a quartet of new colorways of the FYW S-97. On Thursday, Aimé Leon Dore's anticipated New Balance 997 collab gets a wider launch. The releases really pick up on Friday with the Bape x Neighborhood x Adidas collection, "Volt" Nike Air Max Tailwind IV, "Dark Grey" Adapt BB, throwback-inspired "MPLS Lakers" LeBron 16, and highly-anticipated "Blue Snakeskin" Air Jordan XI Low all making their way to retailers.
The drops conclude on Saturday with the "Walk the Dog" Nike SB Dunk High, debut of the Nike ACG React Terra Gobe, Nike Zoom GP retro, and A Ma Maniere x Adidas Crazy BYW Low. Nike will also celebrate Earth Day next Monday with a trio of eco-friendly designs.
