Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Nike once again takes inspiration from its ACG line for a colorway of one of Paul George's signature sneakers. The "PCG" PG 4 is intended to be a nod to George's love for the outdoors, mainly fishing. A black zip-up shroud is accented by bright hits of Laser Crimson, and sits atop a trail-inspired beige midsole.

Nike ACG Moc 3.0 'Tie-Dye'

What You Need to Know: As part of its latest Summer 2020 collection, Nike ACG is also dropping off a bright colorway of the Moc 3.0. This pair sees the quilted upper covered in a multi-colored tie-dye pattern. The laceless design sits atop a speckled white midsole and cream outsole.
CDG x Nike Dunk Low
Price: $260
When: Thursday, May 14
Where: Dover Street Market
What You Need to Know: Comme des Garçons sub-label CDG is the latest brand to reinterpret the Nike Dunk Low in 2020. Set to release exclusively through Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market initially, both pairs have been given a deconstructed look complete with ripstop uppers, semi-translucent overlays, and leather heel tabs. One appears with more traditional neutral color blocking, while the other is covered in an all-over CDG logo print. Being the work of the legendary Japanese label, each pair also comes with a higher price tag as well in comparison to the usually affordable Dunk Low releases.
Nike Air Max 90 'Green Camo'
Price: $140
When: Friday, May 15 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Nike continues to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 90 with another brand new colorway. Similar to the"Duck Camo" drop for Air Max Day 2020 this past March, a mesh upper is paired with duck camouflage overlays. This time, the retro runner is dressed in a Ghost Green upper with tan camo detailing.
Nike Air Presto 'Red Orbit'
Price: $130
When: Friday, May 15 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: This eye-catching colorway of the Air Presto takes inspiration from the Korean national soccer team's uniforms. Black and white tiger stripes streak across the entire upper, the lacing cage fades from red on the lateral side to blue on the medial, and the South Korean flag can be seen stamped on each heel.
Women's Air Jordan OG 'University Blue'
Price: $140
When: Friday, May 15 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: The latest colorway of the Women's Air Jordan OG appears to pay homage to Michael Jordan's alma mater, the UNC Tar Heels. The women's performance model notably shares some characteristics with the Air Jordan XIII—mainly its dotted panels. This particular pair sports a white leather upper with subtle University Blue hits on the liner and outsole.
Nike LeBron VII 'Media Day'
Price: $200
When: Saturday, May 16 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Originally seen laced up by LeBron James on 2020 NBA Media Day, Nike is finally releasing the "Media Day" LeBron VII. Clearly inspired by his current team, the Los Angeles Lakers, this mismatched colorway features a yellow left shoe and purple right. The opposite color is used to detail elements like the laces, liner, and outsole on each foot, respectively.
Stüssy x Nike Air Zoom Spiridon Cage 2
Price: $160
When: Friday, May 15 at 10 a.m. PST
Where: stussy.com
What You Need to Know: Stüssy follows up its recently-released duo of Nike Air Zoom Spiridon Cage 2 collabs with a third colorway releasing exclusively via the OG streetwear brand's web store. This simplistic option sports an all-black upper that combines mesh and canvas paneling, and sits atop a grey midsole.
Adidas Yeezy 500 High 'Tyrian'
Price: $220
When: Saturday, May 16 at 10 a.m.

What You Need to Know: The Adidas Yeezy 500 High resurfaces this week in the "Tyrian" colorway. The high-top counterpart to the Yeezy 500, this model's build is almost identical aside from a heightened collar. This particular pair sports a brown suede upper with purple pods, a welcome bit of color to the usually earth-toned offerings that have become the norm from Kanye West's footwear line with the Three Stripes.
