The moment that hypebeast kids have been waiting for is almost here: infant-sized Yeezy Boost 350s drop this weekend. Like the adult pairs that preceded them, this pint-sized Yeezy Boosts are going to be a struggle to cop, so make sure you do the necessary groundwork to ensure your pairs are locked down.
Adidas Consortium will also collaborate with Canada's Livestock on a two-sneaker pack that includes the classic Samba and the modern Pure Boost ZG Knit, and we've got the rundown on how to cop them below.
For Jordan Brand, the Jordan XI Low will cap off the 2016 Rio Olympics with a fitting "Closing Ceremony" colorway, and the Jordan 1 KO will also come out of hiding for a new look.
After two successful New Balance 574 collaborations, Boston's Ball and Buck is back again with a made in U.S.A. New Balance 585 that's specifically designed to be used and abused.

Don't expect these to be any easier to cop than their adult counterparts—in fact, it might be even more difficult to track these down as you'll be competing with hypebeast parents who will quite literally stop at nothing to lace their little ones in a pair of “Turtle Doves.” Good luck out there.

What You Need to Know: Truly a labor of love, Ball and Buck's New Balance 585 has been in the works for years. During that time, the Boston-based retailer worked to create the perfect shoe to actually wear and beat up in the elements—something that's often overlooked on sneaker collaborations. The result is a rugged made in U.S.A. sneaker that's perfect for the upcoming fall season. For more information on these, click here to read our interview with Ball and Buck and New Balance.
