J-Lo’s Famous Versace GRAMMY Dress Gets Immortalized in This Week's Best Footwear Drops
Collaborative silhouettes from Versace, UNDERCOVER, Fear of God and more.
After a month-long string of YEEZY releases from adidas and Kanye West the duo takes a break this week, but that hasn’t stopped Mr. West from stepping out in a few never-before-seen sneakers, sending the Internet into a frenzy. In just under a week, the artist showcased what many believe is the YEEZY BOOST 350 V3 as well as the 700 V3. That’s not all, a new “cloud white” colorway of the 350 V2 also emerged along with the 700 “Magnet.”
However the most obscure footwear news this past week was the report of Virgil Abloh’s Instagram being hacked. The culprits tried to use his account to sell the unreleased Off-White™ x Futura Laboratories x Nike Dunk Low for $5,000 USD in bitcoin.
Besides that, we got a few closer looks at UNDERCOVER’s Nike Daybreak in “Bright Citron” and the atmos x Nike Air Max 1 “Animal 3.0” pack. We were also given a first look at Ronnie Fieg’s forthcoming ASICS GEL-KAYANO 5 OG and No Vacancy Inn’s New Balance 650.
Finally, Nike officially announced a new Air manufacturing innovation facility in Arizona, while Sotheby’s and Stadium Goods launched an auction with 100 of the world’s rarest sneakers.
Now with a new week ahead of us, we present the latest installment of our weekly footwear 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.
