Before the Air Maxes arrive, Kanye West and Adidas are dropping off the “Kyanite” Yeezy 7002 V3 on Thursday morning. The same day there will also be a “Polar Blue” Air Max 97 Swarovski releasing. On Friday, the “Bacon” Air Max 90 makes its long-awaited return alongside Nike’s new Air Max Pre-Day. The following day marks the return of the “Kiss of Death” Clot x Nike Air Max 1. The “Stealth” Air Jordan 5 and a pink Pharrell x Adidas NMD Hu arrive at stores this weekend. Buyers should also prepare for a pair of early Monday releases next week, the “College Navy” and “Medium Curry” Dunk Lows.
