Another Monday brings another week of footwear drops, and boy, is this week stacked. But, before we dive into what’s to come, let’s take a moment to recap the previous week in news.
Last week brought a number of teasers to sneakers that have still yet to be officially announced, most notably Cactus Plant Flea Market’s Air Force 1 as revealed by A$AP Rocky, as well as another look at Virgil’s take on the Nike Dunk “UNLV” and its odd lacing system. And speaking of Mr. Abloh, leakers unveiled the release date for the long-anticipated Off-White™ x Nike Waffle Racer SP pack, which is now slated for late October.
We also got a look at Pigalle’s forthcoming Converse pack, Kith and Ronnie Fieg’s latest ASICS collab, and the never-before-seen adidas YEEZY 500 “Stone.” And for the older sneakerheads, FILA announced that it’s brining back Grant Hill’s iconic GH2 sneaker.
Elsewhere, we investigated Foot Locker’s new Greenhouse Incubator initiative, which is aimed at vastly improving how the retailer interacts with its customers. And finally, The RealReal delivered a list of the nine most valuable kicks right now — hint: you won’t have to go too far back in the future for this one.
Now, with last week behind us and 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 in the comments section below. Happy coppin’!
