Matt Varga Update: Originally included in this round-up, the Jordan Jumpman Jack “Green Spark” is now expected to release on March 28th.
The release calendar knows no breaks (or brakes, for that matter).
As usual, the Jumpman gets top billing here, as the Air Jordan 13 “Chicago” marks off its first Retro since 2017. After the silhouette took over All-Star Weekend and lit up the floor at Madison Square Garden, the Nike Kobe 3 “Mamba Magic” offers the general public its first crack at the modified archive model. And no, we didn’t forget about Mr. Scott; the Jordan Jumpman Jack “Green Spark” fires off a Celtics-approved edition.
Further down the slate, KD’s current signature drops two Chet Holmgren PEs, his retro model revives its “PB&J” colorway, Converse revisits the Cons Blue, and the New Balance 993 adds a Made in USA S/S drop. Yet it’s not just Kobe Bryant injecting new blood into the landscape: the New Balance 1890 and Nike LeBron NXXT GEN Juju Watkins each make their wide introductions this week.

March 10th focuses on the Nike LeBron 23 “LeBronto,” evoking bad memories for the Raptors faithful. The Nike Vomero 5 “Hyper Royal” closes in Swooshless style.
March 11th sees a suddenly prolific model usher in another set of paired colorways: the New Balance 2000 “Ice Wine” and New Balance 2000 “Grey Matter,” before Beaverton’s runner gets in with the Rejuven8 Run “Dark Field Brown” and Rejuven8 Run “Rust Factor.”
March 12th has a fresh face in Boston begin its GR journey: the New Balance 1890 “Utility Green” brings the mashup to the catalog following Action Bronson’s work. The seasonal Made in USA collection then makes noise with the New Balance 993 “Passion Fruit.” More from Beaverton Basketball rounds out the picture, between the Converse SHAI 001 “Blush,” Nike Sabrina 3 “Oregon Ducks” and the LeBron NXXT Gen JuJu Watkins. The 3Sixteen Saucony Guide V7.3 also drops via 3sixteen, following that up the day after with a wider launch via Saucony channels.
March 13th heads back to the Forum with the Nike Kobe 3 “Mamba Magic,” but more Swoosh drops like the KD 6 “Peanut Butter & Jelly” and Air Max Uptempo 95 “Bulls” aren’t far behind. The New Balance CAYL relationship sticks to the performance front, and the Converse CONS Blue revisits a championship-winner from the archives. Closing in Oregon, the Chet Holmgren KD 18 (in “Tree Camo” and “Thunder and Reign”) brings a set of player-exclusives into public hands, the Nike Sportswear collection gets in early on “Easter” (comprised of the Air Force 1 “Easter” and Dunk Low “Easter”), and a long-teased Veneda Carter Air Max Muse comes into play.
March 14th has a few last words from Jordan Brand: first with the Jordan 13 “Chicago” before the Teyana Taylor Jordan 3 drops off its thorny visage. Not to be outdone, the Three Stripes and Timberwolves star drop off an collegiate-inspired Anthony Edwards 2 “Georgia.”
