Ending the month of September and kicking off August are some high-heat releases from around the footwear industry, including drops from Jordan Brand, Nike, adidas, and more.
Beginning the week is adidas, who has a multitude of releases on the calendar. First is the launch of the BSTN x Bayern Munich Basketball adidas Dame 9, the second collaborative effort on Damian Lillard’s next signature sneaker. Following this is a five-pack of HBCU-themed adidas Crazy 8 Low colorways, including Alabama State, Alcorn State, Grambling State, Prairie View A&M, and Arkansas Pine Bluff. The Three Stripes also has plans to celebrate Hello Kitty’s 50th birthday with an adidas Gazelle and an Adistar Cushion themed after Kitty. Puma is also dropping some collaborative sneakers on Tuesday, with the upcoming Ghostbusters Collection seeing an early release via the Puma app.
On the basketball side, Tuesday is packed with performance models. The Nike Kobe 8 Protro Mamabacita Academy Pack, which features five team-bank-esque colorways of the Kobe 8, will be restocking, while the LeBron NXXT Gen AMPD Diana Taurasi, Harden Vol. 8 Purple Burst, and Sabrina 2 White Noise will all debut. Final highlights for October 1st include a new Air Max Sunder colorway and the PSG x Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG.
On the 2nd, one major drop is planned, with Jordan Brand releasing the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG ‘85 Black Metallic. The next day, we will see a new Nike SB Dunk Low in a fall-ready Light Carbon Sesame.
Halloween celebrations start early as Puma is launching a new MB.03 themed after Jack O’Lanterns on October 3rd. Also launching on this day is Packer’s new Reebok Premier Road Modern collab, Eastside Golf’s first Nike Golf collaborations, and the Tekken 8 x Nike Air Foamposite Jin Kazama.
Finally, Friday sees the first release for the new Ducks Of A Feather drop, which will benefit student-athletes at the University of Oregon via a Home and Away colorway of the Nike Dunk Low What The Duck. Alongside this is the women’s exclusive Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Satin Shadow, the adidas AE 1 Preloved Purple, and the debut of the Tatum 3 via a two-pack exclusive to Concepts Boston, which also comes with Tatum’s Air Jordan 1 Low collab.
