Best Sneakers Releasing This Week
Updated on •Published
Entering the second half of March, sneaker releases are heating up. Kicking things off is a new collection from Liberty London and adidas, covering classic models, like the Gazelle Indoor, SL 72, Sambae, Stan Smith, Samba, and Campus 00s in floral prints perfect for springtime. While this massive collection is a solid start to the week, Tuesday is arguably the most exciting day of the week and possibly even the entire month.
On the 18th, Union LA’s Air Jordan 1 High OG Chicago Shadow is getting a second release following the initial Union drop back in February, this time via the Nike SNKRS App. Alongside this is the latest Nike SB and Jordan Brand collaboration, the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 Summit White Navy. The SB AJ4 is only dropping at skate shops on this date, so make sure you’ve entered all the raffles you can.
Wednesday sees the iconic children's cartoon Peanuts launch a collaborative capsule with Crocs. The capsule will bring Snoopy to life on the Classic Clog and the duo of Woodstock and Snoopy on the Mary Jane Clog. The next day, Nike is launching a familiar colorway of the Air Force 1 with a new material makeup, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Linen, Linen. The pair mimics the Linen colorway, which was at one time a Japanese-exclusive colorway that returned in 2016 and 2024 but swaps out the leather for canvas.
The 20th also sees one of Nike’s most popular new sneaker designs, the Nike Pegasus Premium, launch in a spring-ready White Volt. New Balance isn’t going to miss out on releases this week, as the brand’s Flimby, UK, factory has produced an all-new $250 walking sneaker called the New Balance Allerdale.
Kicking off Friday’s releases are two overseas releases from Nike and Division St., the University of Oregon’s NIL program, as they’ve come together to honor the Oregon Ducks with a mash-up Air Max model, the Air Max 95/97. The two pairs, Thunder (Europe, Africa, and the Middle East) and Lightning (Asia-Pacific), will be released through GOAT and Flight Club locations.
Finishing the week is a packed Saturday, featuring the US release of the Air Max 95/97 in the Storm colorway exclusively at Flight Club LA, Miami, and NYC, the Air Jordan 1 Low OG Obsidian UNC, and the Fortnite x adidas Ultraboost Collection. The latter of these drops features four different adidas Ultraboost colorways, all inspired by in-game skins and objects, including Peely, the Battle Bus, a Victory Crown, and the Fishsticks skin.
