Best Sneakers Releasing This Week
Updated on •Published
After one of the slowest weeks in the sneaker scene in recent memory, things are beginning to warm up as we enter the latter part of January.
Starting the week, Monday hosted a handful of releases, including an Air Jordan 1 Low themed after Valentine’s Day, the OG Hyper Blue colorway of the Air Max Plus, and a Next Nature version of the iconic Nike Dunk Low St. John’s. This is quickly followed up with a Tuesday that features an anticipated Nike SB Dunk Low collaboration with the French-based skate label Riot Skateshop. Also, on the 21st, adidas is launching a Made in Germany version of the adidas Superstar Vintage.
On the 22nd, Jordan Brand is launching a new women’s exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan 5 Retro, coming with Earth and metallic gold accents. New Balance is also getting in on the flurry of releases as they’ve prepped three new colorways of the deconstructed and DIY-inspired New Balance 1906A. Finishing the middle of the week is a two-pack of adidas sneakers made in collaboration with Taqwa Bint Ali, one on the Megaride Mary-Jane and the other on the Adistar Pose.
Even though we were just treated to a retro of the original Nike Air Max Plus colorway, Sunset, Nike Golf is retooling the sneaker for the greens on the 23rd. On the same day, we will see a new Monopoly x Nike LeBron 22 colorway, a mismatched Tie-Dye variant, the latest Sandy Liang x Salomon project, and the Jordan 11 Retro CNY. For Friday, we’re in for a treat with a Nike Cortez Forrest Gump-inspired Nike Book 1, a Pro B-inspired Nike SB Dunk Low in Parachute Beige, and the Air Max Plus Golf in the Hyper Blue colorway.
What many have been looking forward to for months is finally hitting shelves this Saturday, that being the latest Doernbecher x Nike Freestyle Collection. For the 20th anniversary of this historic partnership, Nike has allowed six patients from the children’s hospital to work on the Air Jordan 6, Nike Sabrina 2, Air Zoom Pegasus 41, Air Max DN, Air Max Sunder, and Air 180. Alongside these pairs, the last release day of the week contains a new Dime x adidas project and the debut of the adidas Harden Vol. 9.
