Matt Varga Jordan Brand fans are eating good this week. Though we’ve gotten our weekly dose of retro product over the past several weeks, many have been of a more low-key quality. If you’ve had these same thoughts, Beaverton was clearly listening — three pairs this week between the Air Jordan 3 “Seoul 2.0,” Air Jordan 12 “Melo,” and Swarovski x Air Jordan 1 Low all land this Saturday.
It’s a rare enough occassion to knock Mr. Travis Scott out of pole position, though he’ll certainly make plenty of noise with the launch of his Nike signature shoe, the Zoom Field Jaxx, in “Leche Blue.” The Swoosh also chips in a heavy dose of basketball shoes this week, spread across the all-new A’One, the still new KD 18, and the Book 1.
Finally, to note those outside of Beaverton, the “Grey Days” celebration comes to the New Balance 1906L, Winnie the Pooh is the latest media franchise to hit the Crocs Classic Clog, and adidas drops off an earthy edition of the Anthony Edwards 1.
Long-time readers know the spiel by now: we’ve included all of the releases of note within the galleries included ahead. Beneath each set of images, you’ll find hyperlinks leading back to our original coverage, which is your source for full breakdowns, store lists, and direct pick-up links. We’ll keep this list updated with any major drops that might emerge at the last minute, but just as general practice, keep our Sneaker Release Dates and Jordan Release Dates 2025 hubs close by to ensure you don’t miss anything.
Following a Japan-exclusive release, the Nike Dunk Low “Tokyo” goes global on May 11th.
Taking the lead role in a one-drop day, May 12th’s Jordan Tatum 3 “Blender” dedicates to the defenders that Tatum has put in the spin cycle.
Following in the footsteps of this week’s quiet start, May 13th is solely starred by the Y2K-heavy Nike Air Max TL 2.5 “Metallic Silver.”
May 14th is where things begin to heat up, beginning with the New Balance 1906L “Grey Days,” a traditional look for the brand’s experimental viral hit. Then to a few collaborations: the Winnie The Pooh Crocs collection brings Hundred Acre Wood to life, while the Willy Chavarria adidas continues off their relationship with a soccer-meets-basketball shoe. Finally, PUMA and Breonna Stewart deliver the Puma Stewie 4 “Night Vision,” a multi-color do-up of the MVP’s latest.
Easily the busiest day on the slate, May 15th brings some serious hoops head: the Nike A’One “Indigo Girl” and A’One “Ghost,” the Nike Book 1 “Valley,” and the Nike KD 18 “Air Bakin” start things off on a strong foot. Outside of the Swoosh proper, the Reebok Engine A Black and Engine A Solar Red issue the Boston brand’s latest flagship in two eye-catching looks. Stepping out of the hoops realm, the Nike ReactX Rejuven8 + Rejuven8 Slide each drop off several colorways, while the New Balance Allerdale “Brown Suede” mints new materials on the ultra-premium walking shoe. This day’s group closes out with the Nike Air Max Plus Golf “PGA Tour 2025.”
As he has a penchant to do, Travis Scott takes the spotlight on May 16th, leading us off with the Nike Zoom Field Jaxx “Leche Blue.” The KITH New Balance 2010 drops in-store, offering a first chance before a wider release next week. A sugary collab lands with the Nike x Kool Aid Ja 2, delivering its initial “Mixed Berry” look before an expected follow-up in the weeks ahead. Finally, one of the newest members of the Air Max family takes on a well-worn palette via the Nike Air Max Muse “Black.”
In a rare turn of events, we get not one but three major retro releases on May 17th: the Air Jordan 3 “Seoul 2.0,” the Air Jordan 12 “Melo,” and the Swarovski Jordan 1 Low. adidas Basketball has its own two-pack on tap: AE1 Low “Metal Grey” and the adidas Dame 9 “Blue Burst.” While the price tag may be steep, the recovery is out of this world with the Hyperice x Nike Hyperboot, hitting the general public this same day. Finally, our week closes off with the Nike Sabrina 2 “Slurpee,” an ode to Ionescu’s favorite childhood snack.
