While we await a confirmed release date for the Supreme x Air Jordan V collection, there are plenty of other releases coming up that deserve your attention.
For Jordan heads, the "Soar" 1.5s pictured above should definitely be on your radar. While many have been quick to compare these to the fragment design x Jordan 1s, we think they're dope with or without the Fujiwara association.
As for collaborations, there's another Polo-inspired sneaker from Just Blaze, Packer Shoes, and Saucony, along with limited Vans from the likes of Sneakersnstuff and Max Schaaf.
Find out all the details below in A Complete Guide to This Weekend's Sneaker Releases.
