This week of sneaker releases has a lot of solid pairs to offer, but the undeniable favorite for many will be Travis Scott's latest work with Jordan Brand on the Air Jordan 1. Other highlights include collabs from Nike and Adidas, a new twist on an old classic, and a brand new silhouette from the Swoosh that merges the past with the present.
The drops start early this week with the "Pink Snakeskin" Air Jordan XI Low arriving on Tuesday. A trio of colorways from Clot on the Nike Zoom Haven 97 hybrid model is set to arrive the following day. Thursday will bring the arrival of the Nike React Presto and JW Anderson's latest project with Converse.
On Friday, the the Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard Overshoe receives a wider launch alongside a brand new colorway of the HFR x Nike LeBron 16 and the "Twist" Air Jordan 1. Releases wrap up on Saturday with the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 collab and Undefeated x Adidas collection of trail running-inspired designs.
