The Labor Day Weekend celebrations are now behind us, and for the second week of September, all of the most popular sportswear companies have prepared a cornucopia of release heat. Over the next several days, Nike, New Balance, adidas and others are in the mix to roll out new collaborative projects and GRs, but prior to us breaking these down for you, let’s first take a step back and look at all of the biggest sneaker news headlines that erupted last week.
On the exclusives front, our weekly Sole Mates series featured SOULGOODS co-founder Ji Ming to highlight his love for the Air Jordan 1. Moving on to the news item, Jordan Brand generated a sizable amount of buzz last week. Retro offerings like the Air Jordan 4 “Thunder” and Air Jordan 13 “Playoffs” are confirmed to make their return in 2023, Jayson Tatum’s signature sneaker with the brand is in the works and the Air Jordan 37 “Beyond Borders” was officially unveiled.
The Swoosh team unleashed some heavy hitters as well. The UNDERCOVER x Nike Air Force 1/Air Revaderchi was unveiled, rumors of Ja Morant’s signature model started to brew, official photos of the CPFM x Nike Dunk Low surfaced and the trademark infringement lawsuit with John Geiger was settled.
Other noise-making kicks that emerged last week include Ye’s adidas YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 CMPCT “Panda” colorway, PLEASURES’ ASICS GEL-LYTE III capsule, an upcoming New Balance 2002R “Protection Pack” iteration, Joe Freshgoods’ FW22 New Balance collaborations and UNDERCOVER’s Clarks Originals Wallabee team-up.
Now that we’ve got you all updated with the latest in sneakers, let’s get into this week’s top 10 drops below. When you conclude there, be sure to browse the HBX online shop for more footwear styles.
