The Air Fear of God Raid Attacks This Week's Footwear Drops
Alongside AMBUSH’s AM180, Donald Glover’s first adidas drop, summer-ready YEEZY 700s, and much more.
Last week in the world of footwear, adidas and Converse sent out shockwaves through the industry with the unveiling of the former’s 100% recyclable FUTURECRAFT.LOOP and the latter’s first performance basketball shoe in years, the All Star Pro BB. Both initiatives will surely impact the rest of the industry for years to come, setting precedents in both sustainability and heritage design.
On the lifestyle side, a number of new collaborative sneakers were teased. The week started off with KITH’s new Chuck 70 unveil, then, fellow New York institution Sweet Chick premiered its Vans partnership. Neymar Jr. even offered a sneak peak at a pair of subtly redesigned Shox R4s. It was Donald Glover’s first ever adidas capsule however that dominated last week’s headlines, which is dropping this week (see below).
Lastly, the news we didn’t want to hear came from the legendary Keith Hufnagel, who announced the end of Huf’s longstanding footwear division.
Now with a new week ahead of us, one that includes Earth Day, we present the latest installment of our weekly drops list, showcasing what’s to come from your favorite footwear brands. Take a look at the list below and let us know what releases you’re looking forward to.
