Nike Air Max dominates this week of sneaker releases as we are now just one week away from Air Max Day 2020.
The big drops start on Thursday with a wider launch of the yellow colorway from Aimé Leon Dore's recent New Balance 827 release, a Women's Air Jordan OG collab from Melody Ehsani, the black colorway of Undefeated's redesigned Air Max 90, an Air Max Triax 96 covered in camouflage, and the Air Max 1 "City Pack" celebrating Amsterdam and London.
Releases finish up on Saturday with the "'95 Neon" Air Jordan IV made to resemble the OG Nike Air Max 95 color scheme, and the "Cinder" Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 both hitting select retailers.
Check out a more detailed look at all of this week's biggest sneaker drops below.
Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 827
Price: $150
When: Thursday, March 19
Where: Select New Balance retailers like End. Clothing
What You Need to Know: After initially releasing exclusively via raffle on Aimé Leon Dore's web store last Friday in three colorways, the yellow option from the brand's recent New Balance 827 project will be getting a wider launch. A lesser-discussed runner from New Balance's '90s archive, the 827 sports a mesh upper, suede overlays, and sits on ABZORB cushioning. ALD's Teddy Santis adds his own touch in the form of bright yellow paneling, multi-colored lace loops, reflective "ALD" lettering on each heel, and special co-branded insoles.
Melody Ehsani x Women's Air Jordan OG
Price: $150
When: Thursday, March 19 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Melody Ehsani follows up her colorful Air Jordan I Mid collaboration from 2019 with a much more toned-down Women's Air Jordan OG. The pair, which slightly resembles the Air Jordan XIII, is dressed in an all black upper. Details include bright red hits on the liner and midsole, purple insoles and outsoles, and reflective piping act. Ehsani's "ME." logo on the right insole and stitched on each heel, and metal cherry lacelocks complete the collab.
Undefeated x Nike Air Max 90
Price: $150
When: Thursday, March 19 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: For its latest Air Max 90 collab, Undefeated has reworked the upper of the popular retro runner. The shoe's paneling has been switched, most notably eliminating the leather mudguard to expose a full Swoosh on each side panel and doing away with the usual "Air Max" branding hit above the heel. The materials are inspired by technical outerwear made popular in New York in the '90s. This all-black colorway is completed with a heel pull tab, reflective loops added to the lacing setup, and Undefeated logos on the tongue and heel.
Nike Air Max Triax 96 'Safari'
Price: $150
When: Thursday, March 19 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: After retroing in two OG colorways back in 2019, the Air Max Triax 96 returns this Thursday in a brand new "Safari" colorway. This time, the '90s runner's mesh upper is covered entirely in safari camouflage. Yellow tongue tabs and mismatched red and green tabs on each heel act as minimal pops of color.
Nike Air Max 1 'City Pack'
Price: $160
When: Thursday, March 19 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNEAKERS and other select European retailers
What You Need to Know: Another special drop for Nike's month-long Air Max celebration is the brand new "City Pack" of Air Max 1s representing Amsterdam and London. Details on the Amsterdam colorway include a dark red tumbled leather mid panel, peach corduroy wrapping the heel, three red Xs on the lateral toe area, and a unique graphic on the heel tab to represent the canals in the city. London's pair opts for features like a rough grey suede mid panel, blue Swoosh and matching mini Swoosh stitched on the toe, remixed "LDN" tongue tags, and embroidery to represent the Thames River on each heel.
