One Sneaker Can Change Everything: 'Stranger Things' Stars in This Week's Best Footwear Drops

Over the past seven days, all eyes were focused on Paris Fashion Week SS20 where Virgil Abloh and his Off-White™ imprint debuted Futura-assisted Nike SB Dunk Lows, while 1017 ALYX 9SM, Pigalle and sacai also debuted Nike collaborations on the runway. SANKUANZ also spotlighted its Timberland 6-Inch Boot during PFW, while Craig Green did the same with the adidas Kamanda.

Elsewhere, the sports world also had a lot to celebrate. Supreme rider and 2018’s SOTY, Tyshawn Jones, unveiled his first-ever Pro model with adidas Skateboarding, while New Balance released a special edition 997 and 990v5 pack to commemorate the Toronto Raptors’ first ever NBA Championship. Nike also gave a shout out to the second annual NY vs NY basketball tournament with its “Streetball” Pack.

Fans were also given a few first looks at an unreleased De La Soul x Nike SB Dunk Low sample, the adidas YEEZY BOOST 451, and our exclusive look at OAMC and adidas Originals’ SS20 sneaker collab.

Finally, we sat down with Shun Hirose and his fledgling customization label, RECOUTURE.

Now with a new week ahead of us, 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.
