Travis Scott Serves His Jordan Jumpman Jack “Mocha” in This Week’s Best Footwear Drops
The black and brown look is joined by more BAPE x adidas, the return of the AJ4 “Fear,” SATISFY x HOKA and more.
We’re about to cross the midpoint of November and brands are gearing up for the holiday season by slashing prices and rolling out long-awaited releases. Whether you’re looking for a great gift or something to treat yourself with, adidas, Jordan Brand, Crocs, Nike, HOKA and Vans all have sneaker drops worth checking out this week. Before we break down each launch, starting with the six-shoe C.P. Company x adidas Spezial project, let’s look back at what headlines caught our eye in the sneaker space last week.
Nike was relatively quiet this time around, however, we did spot a preview of what may be 2025’s special Air Max Day silhouette — the Air Max DN8. Before that news popped up, Corteiz dropped its “Flat Pewter” take on the Air Trainer Huarache alongside accompanying apparel. Another much-anticipated Nike collaboration is with Kids of Immigrants, which is due to drop two takes on the Air Max Sunder later this month. As for 2025 previews, we got better looks at the Kobe 5 Protro “Year of the Mamba” and Kobe 6 Protro “All-Star 2.0” plus word of Infinite Archives dropping two Air Jordan 17 Lows.
Elsewhere in the industry, MM6 Maison Margiela and Dr. Martens just officially announced the rollout of their unique mix-and-match boots ahead of the collection’s drop next week. adidas also made noise with Packer’s reveal of its two Intimidation Low colorways and the new Superstar roller-skates. Klay Thompson’s new ANTA KT10 was officially unveiled while Hypefest Hong Kong saw Dime preview its forthcoming ASICS GEL-QUANTUM 360 VIII pack.
Now that you’re caught up with the latest and greatest from the sneaker world, let’s dive into what pairs you should have on your radar this week. Once you complete your walkthrough of what’s to come, don’t forget to shop styles that are available now at HBX.

This momentum is being harnessed into another set of two Mafate Speed 4 Lites as SATISFY has equipped the shoe in “Bone” and “Coffee.” Key elements like the ripstop nylon, lightweight transparent upper and two-part ProFly midsole all make a return to ensure a precise balance between style and performance.

Release Price: ¥75,900 JPY (approx. $492 USD)
Where to Buy: Junya Watanabe stockists
Why You Should Cop: When HOKA launched the slip-on Ora Primo at the end of 2023, its thick laces stood out as a wild accessory to its upper. However, Junya Watanabe decided that it wasn’t bold enough. The Japanese designer presented his own take on the sneaker at Paris Fashion Week in March, replacing the laces with a sizable silver chain that reaches around the entirety of the Ora Primo. The rest of its build is rather calm as it dons an all-black look, leaving the chain to do the talking now that the shoe is dropping.

The various layers of the AJ4 are leveraged by the color scheme to create a gradient that goes from light gray at the sole to black at the collar. The midsole also appears in black with white specks that match the white contrast offered by the lacing system, tongue tag and Jumpman branding at the heel.
