Other top drops include a "Vivid Sulfur" Air Jordan 4, Patta's take on the Converse Weapon, and an Air Max 95 paying homage to the city of Atlanta. 

Take a closer look at all of this week's best sneaker releases, below.

What You Need to Know: This Air Max 95 is inspired by the city of Atlanta. Nike partnered with some of the city's most prominent retailers—Walter's, Wish ATL, SolePlay, and A Ma Maniére—to bring this pair to life. The 95's layered upper showcases various shades of red and orange that pop off of the grey mesh underlays. Reflective panels can be seen on the toe, heel, and tongue. The colors and insole graphic are inspired by the resurgence of the Phoenix. They act as a nod to Atlanta's motto, "Resurgens," which is Latin for "rising again."

What You Need to Know: After a surprise release on SNKRS back in March, the "Total Orange" Hot Step 2 is getting a wider launch. The sequel to the first sneaker from Drake's NOCTA label with Nike features a molded synthetic leather upper, chrome panels on the heel and quarter panel, and NOCTA logos on the tongue and insole. The entire upper is also reflective, which gives it an extra pop when the flash hits it.
