Sneaker News Get ready to multi-task, because this week features a ton of heavy release days, with multiple high-heat drops clustered on the same exact date.
If there’s an overriding theme for the slate, it’s reissues; not necessarily in the retro sense, but in widening the scope of drops that occurred this past week. The Nike Dunk Low “Philly” starts off that category on the Tuesday the 18th, Aime Leon Dore New Balance 1000 and Nina Chanel Abney Jordan 3 do the same on Thursday the 20th, and the HUF Air Max 1 rounds it all out on Saturday the 20th.
Sprinkled in between, we’ve got our eye on some other notable collabs; RTFKT’s Dunk Genesis is no doubt the most limited on our list. Meanwhile, ASICS & 8ON8 join atop the GEL-Kayano 14 and Marvel, PUMA and …the Boondocks? Yes, the Boondocks mint a three-way collab collection comprised of the RS-X and Classic Suede. You can catch images and direct links to full buyer’s guides for each major shoe this week just ahead.
