Good news, Jordan fans: it looks like Nike has finally worked out its website issues, as last weekend's "Statue" Jordan IXs popped up rather unexpectedly. That means that this weekend's "Chrome" Jordan VI Lows should be dropping as well, so click through below to find out everything you need to know about the drop.
Elsewhere, it's a huge weekend for tennis-related Nike drops as it gears up for the U.S. Open. First, the entire fragment design x Air Trainer 1 collection will be dropping, including the "Wimbledon" and "French Open" versions. Elsewhere, NikeCourt will drop two premium iterations of the Tennis Classic model, while Nike Basketball has readied a fuzzy "Tennis Ball" version of the LeBron 12 EXT.
On the collab tip, Foot Patrol will unleash its 25th anniversary ASICS Gel-Lyte III collaboration known as the "Squad," Odd Future's Golf Wang label hooks up with Vans Syndicate for a pack of Old Skools, and celeb jeweler Mr. Flawless gets busy on a pack of Filas.
