Take a Swing at Travis Scott's Air Jordan 1 Golf in This Week's Best Footwear Drops

In the aftermath of another Drake album release, the month of October charges onward with a slate of fall releases across the fashion and footwear industry. Looking to the sneaker side of things, there’s plenty to look forward to with Nike, Jordan Brand, ASICS, New Balance, On and Under Armour all serving up notable drops. Let’s take a quick detour to review what headlines hit the shoe space in the past week before we outline the coming week’s best releases.

On the feature end, Sole Mates returned with legendary British skateboarder Geoff Rowley highlighting the Dime x Vans Skateboarding Rowley XLT while chatting about his relationship with the skate brand, his signature shoe’s reissue and more. From there, our final seasonal entry in best footwear trends at fashion week saw a recap of Paris’ offerings.

Looking ahead to future releases, plenty of reveals from Nike SB took place last week. The Nike SB Dunk Low “Fog” is now expected to restock while the “Mystic Red” colorway of the sneaker is set to launch. We’re still awaiting a firm arrival date for the SB Dunk High “Candy Corn” which the Swoosh officially unveiled while an early preview of 2024’s SB Dunk Low “Valentine’s Day” also popped up. For Jordan Brand, early previews of the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Year of the Dragon,” Air Jordan 3 “Midnight Navy” and an all-pink Jordan Zion 3 all surfaced.

As for the rest of the industry, sneak peeks at Scoot Henderson’s first signature shoe with PUMA, Action Bronson’s take on the New Balance 1906R and another Fear of God x adidas sneaker all took center stage. Wrapping things up, G-SHOCK and Converse Japan presented their all-black All Star while Crocs unveiled a Cowboy Boot.

With all of the top headlines recapped, let’s get into what to look forward to across the next seven days. Afterwards, don’t forget to hit up HBX to check out what sneakers can be purchased now.
