Supreme's Bogo-Stamped Air Force 1 Lows Arrive In This Week's Best Footwear Drops
Alongside the AJ3 “Valor Blue,” a new collaborative drop from RHUDE x PUMA, and another Kawhi x New Balance pack.
This week of releases is a bit of a quiet one as brands begin to prep for the change in seasons, from winter to spring. However, before we dive into our favorite upcoming drops, let’s recap the last seven days in news.
Travis Scott’s first ever Nike SB collaborative sneaker stole headlines all last week, from a surprise release on the artist’s website, to a limited drop at skateshops around the globe. Currently, the Dunk Low “Cactus Jack” is reselling for over $1,000 USD, and that’s with the regular, rainbow-colored Quickstrike box, while the special-edition paisley box version is going for double.
Scott’s longtime friend and collaborator Virgil Abloh also made some noise last week, when he revealed an Off-White™ x Air Jordan 4 at his brand’s Fall/Winter 2020 runway presentation. First seen last year at the designer’s “Figures of Speech” exhibition at MCA Chicago, this DIY-inspired AJ4 is rumored to be a women’s exclusive and may release later this year.
Elsewhere, we got a look at the next YEEZY BOOST 380 release in a “Mist” color scheme, while Kanye’s collaborative parter adidas revealed a James Bond UltraBOOST 20. Moreover, CDG unveiled a fraying Nike Waffle Racer 2, while OVO and Clarks delivered a neon-hued Wallabee collection. Lastly, we also got word that the anticipated Maison Margiela x Reebok Instapump Fury Tabi will release later this year in September.
On an industry level, Nike announced that it lost upwards of $17 billion USD in market valuation due to the effects of the coronavirus, while the Tokyo Olympic committee is considering canceling this year’s Summer Olympics altogether, which will of course have a major impact on footwear and sportswear brands around the globe. On a lighter note, we spoke to world-famous gamer Ninja about his adidas partnership.
Now that we’re all caught up, let’s go ahead and dive into this week’s most dashing drops. Get all the details you need below, and for a full list of releases be sure to peep our Drops page when you’re finished.
