Matt Varga We may have a couple of weeks of wiggle room to put the finishing touches on Holiday shopping, but time is running short for sneaker brands across the industry, their runway running low if they’re to jam any additional releases into the season. Even with most brand’s release calendars beginning to slow down, there are still some notable pairs to look forward to this week.
We begin as always in Beaverton, where the trifecta of the Stash x Nike retro, the Kobe 9 “Christmas,” and the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” will keep the energy high around the Swoosh and Jumpman for another week running. Additional drops like fresh looks for the Tatum 3, Sabrina 2, and an SB Dunk collab with Nicole Hause fill the spaces in between.
Elsewhere, the Three Stripes centers its slate around the adidas Anthony Edwards 1 Low “Christmas,” alternately titled the “Blue Burst” and “Slick,” the latter moniker oding to Ant’s best friend. Unexpectedly, the impending release of Squid Game Season 2 is propelling a few releases this week, with both Crocs and PUMA getting in on the promotional effort. AURALEE links up with New Balance for a few tonal 990v4 executions, and LaMelo Ball introduces new branding with the PUMA MB.04 “Heem.”
Like we always say at this time, the above rundown gives you a taste of what’s upcoming but not a complete breakdown. For that, you’ll have to lot the list and photos ahead, with attached hyperlinks leading back to detailed release coverage and “Where To Buy” links.
