Matt Varga It’s a pretty unconventional week of releases on tap this time around. In contrast to the past few editions where a number of releases spread out across the week, we’ve got a back-loaded slate on tap this time, squeezing many of the most notable into Thursday, Friday & Saturday. A heavy dose of New Balance comes at you with the first wave of MADE in USA FW ’24 drops, along with the sleek “Mirrored” colorway of the Sabrina 2 & Shai Gilgeous Alexander’s Converse Weapon. The following day, the Museum Visitor x ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 brings a techy three-pack while performance wear has a ton of notable releases; the debut of the Giannis Freak 6, a new LaMelo Ball MB.03 Low and the KD 17 “Vivid Purple.” Lastly, the Jordan 11 Low “Diffused Blue” provides a sleek cherry on top to close out the week on Saturday.
We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again- while the above gives you a birds eye view of what we’ve got an eye on this week, it doesn’t cover every single release that might be of interest. Catch the entire list below with images & blurbs of all the shoes on the slate. Tap the hyperlinks included there for full breakdowns of each release, including direct links for their respective drops.
Just for good measure, keep an eye on our Sneaker Release Dates and Jordan Release Dates pages. We’ll keep this list updated if & when more noteworthy launches join in, but those are our foremost sources for up-to-the-minute info as it breaks.
