This week’s sneaker release calendar may be a bit lighter than what we have gotten used to, but it is packed with some high profile collabs that are worth checking out.
Drake’s Nike sneaker, the Hot Step Air Terra, is finally making its retail debut, and anyone who struck out last week will get another chance at the JJJJound x New Balance 990v3. Supreme has its latest set of Nike SB Dunks dropping, there are some exotic new Chuck 70s from Tyler, the Creator’s Golf Wang, and European retailer Size puts its spin on the popular Nike Dunk Low.
