All The Best Sneaker Releases of the Week
Air Jordan 3 “Dark Iris”
Before the world indulges in the glorious return of the Air Jordan 3 “Fire Red,” Jordan Brand is blessing the market with a modern “Dark Iris” colorway. Its titular shade plays a supporting role here as it splashes the perforated collars, insides of the tongues and midsole molds while leather uppers are dyed in white. Traditional elephant-patterned overlays are covered in a muted gray hue.
Bephie’s Beauty Supply x Air Jordan 7
Why You Should Cop: Bephie’s Beauty Supply — Union LA’s co-owner Bephie Gibbs’ imprint — earned itself an Air Jordan 7 collaboration. Taking a more technical approach to the classic Jordan model, Gibbs reworks the silhouette with an inner mesh bootie, a toggled lacing system and a heel counter that is borrowed from the classic Nike Air Huarache.
New Balance 990v3 (YCMC Exclusive)
New Balance and YCMC often collaborate on sneaker colorways, and this season the two have teamed up to release one of the cleanest 990v3s of the season. These upper panels are crafted from “Kool Grey” mesh and “Marblehead” nubuck suede, to nod to the silhouette’s OG gray design. A mix-and-match pair of laces is also included with the kicks.
New Balance 990v3 “Castlerock”
With his ongoing New Balance MADE in USA series, Teddy Santis can’t be missed. The 990v3 “Castlerock” colorway is the latest release in his series of incredibly wearable colorways. Various shades of blue alternate amongst its suede and mesh panels above, while “Castlerock” notes appear atop the overlays planted on the toe boxes and collars.
Nike Air Max 1 “Dirty Denim”
As the classic Nike Air Max 1 is set to release with a “Denim” motif, celebrations are in full swing. These sneakers feature denim-inspired overlays on the quarter panels, lower throat, and heels along with denim-inspired suede mudguards and toe boxes. To further emphasize its lifestyle purpose, the bottoms feature gum exteriors with exposed stitching.
Bad Bunny x adidas Forum Low “Blue Tint”
Every adidas silhouette that Bad Bunny touches turns to gold, especially when it comes to his work. His various footwear collaborations have garnered plenty of attention and success, and he’s ready to expand his arsenal with this Forum Buckle Low “Blue Tint.” As a representation of the sky, the artist wraps the lifestyle model with its titular shade in a monochromatic motif.
A Ma Maniére x Jordan Brand Air Ship
A Ma Maniére is negotiating a surprise collaboration with Jordan Brand before releasing its Air Jordan 12 and Air Jordan 4 collections. A traditional leather construction is left in place, but the Swooshes and collars are given a “Game Royal” paint job. The tongue and heels feature Nike Air hits, with the former also featuring “A Ma Maniére” below. Additionally, the insides of the tongues are adorned with an individual number out of 2300, which is the amount of pairs that exist.
sacai x Nike Cortez 4.0 “White/Varsity Royal”
In celebration of the release of her highly anticipated sacai x Nike Cortez 4.0, Chitose Abe reunites with Nike this week. This version of the silhouette is heavily influenced by Forrest Gump’s classic color scheme, “White/Varsity Royal.”. Additional details include an interior bootie and double Swooshes on the midsole.
