Matt Varga What’s a week of releases with Jordan Brand in the mix? Without the typical Saturday retro, we’re left to ponder the question this week, but it doesn’t mean you can take the next few days off entirely. For starters, a major Kobe drop will almost single-handedly fill the void, as the Kobe 5 “X-Ray” that odes to Bryant’s dedication to “winning at all costs” finally makes landfall. The Three Stripes also has some notable collaborations lined up between Bob Marley & Ned Flanders, while New Balance checks off an exotic link-up with Bricks & Wood.
Further down the line, Crocs and Converse have their own link-up efforts in the tank, uniting with Pokemon and Stussy, respectively, as the week draws to a close. Finally, fans of the CO.JP series see the return of a modern entry as the Nike “What The Dunk” Low returns seven years after its introduction.
The above rundown gives you a good sense of the newsworthy releases coming down the pike, but as always, there’s more to uncover.
