As Christmas nears, brands are putting out the last of their holiday season releases. While Jordan Brand's biggest release of the season and possibly the year, was the "Space Jam" XI, the silhouette will see one more extremely limited release with the Air Jordan XI Premium "Grey Suede." Also, coming from Jordan Brand is the Air Jordan XVI "Midnight Navy," which is releasing for the first time since 2001 and the Air Jordan 1 "Storm Blue," which is releasing for the first time since 1986.
Adidas makes the list the NMD_XR1 "Duck Camo" Pack, Damian Lillard's brick-inspired Adidas Dame 3 "Roots" and a collaboration with Ronnie Fieg. The Kith x Adidas Consortium "Aspen" Pack includes an Ultra Boost Mid with wool blended Primeknit and a Response Trail Boost suitable for handling the most rugged trails.
Nike will be releasing the Nike Kobe 11 Elite 4KB "Ghost of Christmas Past" but it's worth noting that the Swoosh will also be releasing a mystery sneaker at a random time on Christmas Day.
To get a full run down on everything dropping, here's a Complete Guide to This Weekend's Sneaker Releases.
