This week of sneaker releases boasts new collaborations from Puma and Nike, PE-inspired Air Jordan and Nike LeBron releases, and more.
Drops start on Wednesday with the "Infrared 23" Air Jordan XXXIV. This bright basketball sneaker is followed up by the much more subtle Supreme x Nike Air Force 1, a vibrant "Multi-Color" Air Jordan II, and "Sunset" New Balance collection on Thursday. On Friday, Nike continues its run of LeBron VII retros with a Fairfax High School PE colorway from 2009 that has never been released at retail before.
The releases wrap up on Saturday with the second Rhude x Puma collection accompanied by matching apparel and the "UNC" Air Jordan III inspired by a PE gifted to the university's football team back in 2017.
