Although bots have put a damper on Nike's online releases, the drops keep coming this weekend with a variety of noteworthy sneakers.
Jordan Brand will drop another remastered Air Jordan Retro V with the "Poison Green" colorway, which many have nicknamed "Space Jam." It's also got an Air Jordan Retro XX up its sleeve, so look out for both of those at select retailers, but don't bank on a Nike online release.
Nike also has a soccer-themed NikeLab Footscape Magista collection touching down along with the third and final drop of the Nike Basketball Elite Series, which hits in "Rose Gold" form. One of Charles Barkley's most famous signature sneakers will also make a return.
adidas Originals will celebrate LGBT Pride Month with two colorful silhouettes, while the Consortium department debuts the next Ultra Boost Collective installment.
A number of collabs are scheduled, too, including projects from End Clothing x Reebok, BAIT x Brooks, Epitome x Saucony, and a global release of the HAL x ASICS Gel Lyte "Medic."
