Sneaker collaborations take the forefront this weekend, with three big joint releases on the way along with two exclusives you'll only find at certain spots.
First up, Undefeated and Nike resume their longtime partnership for a premium Dunk Lux release. These have been in the works for some time now, but they're finally dropping in the States. Meanwhile, Nike's also bringing back an O.G. Air Griffey Max colorway and dropping new LeBrons.
For adidas, the EQT range gets highlighted this weekend with three major drops; Foot Patrol's Consortium Tour EQT Running Cushion collab, Sneakersnstuff's exclusive "All Gold" EQT Running Guidance, and a "London" take on the EQT Running Support. That's not all, because the brand will also drop overseas exclusives of the recently retroed Climacool.
