For what’s felt like years, DJ Khaled has proclaimed he’s “still in the meeting,” driving the point home frequently on IG. But as the artist revealed earlier this week, deliberations have finally come to a close, and soon he’ll release not one but multiple colorways of the Air Jordan 5. And that’s not all that was revealed in the past few days, as adidas Yeezy, Nike, and even LaMelo Ball have shared enough to warrant applause.

As mentioned above, the Air Jordan 5 “We The Best” is coming very, very soon, complemented by a full collection of apparel. What’s more, samples and Friends & Family offerings are to appear as well, which was confirmed by none other than DJ Khaled himself. Official images and details of future Jumpman releases have been unearthed, too, shedding further light on everything from the Air Jordan 11 Low “Pure Violet” to the split-colored Air Jordan 1 Mid.

Over at Nike HQ, the Swoosh continues to celebrate the Air Force 1 in honor of its 40th Anniversary, wrapping the classic sneaker in an ornate bow and a Fontanka-styled make-up. It seems Homer Simpson also found his way to Beaverton, as the Dunk Low has emerged in a colorway heavily reminiscent of the beloved cartoon icon. And alongside teasers of a Kasina x Nike Air Max 1 as well as the debut of a Hatfield-designed China exclusive, the brand has debuted the One Box, a sustainable alternative to traditional packaging.

adidas Yeezy, New Balance, and LaMelo Ball have been equally busy: the Three stripes are offering the Yeezy 700 v2 “Vanta” yet again; NB is celebrating themselves with DSM, while also adding pouches to the 2002R; and the athlete has brought the “Galaxy” theme to his signature Puma MB.01.
