Best Sneakers Releasing This Week
Updated on •Published
This week in sneakers is jam-packed with performance basketball releases, but between these are new collaborations and even a Jordan retro that hasn’t hit shelves in two decades.
The week starts relatively slow, with the Jordan Tatum 3 Pink Tint and the Air Max 95-inspired Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite releasing on Monday. Next up is another slow day, as the only notable drop on Tuesday is the Air Max TL 2.5 in Metallic Silver. Wednesday is when things really start to heat up.
100 Thieves and adidas have prepped a new Spring/Summer 2025 collection featuring apparel and three footwear releases: the Palos Hills, Savage, and Adilette Slide. New Balance is getting in on the release calendar with the latest Grey Days drop — the 1906L — which comes in the classic raincloud color palette we know and love from NB. Jordan Brand will enter the performance golf world with the $250 Jordan Air Rev in White University blue.
On the 15th, the calendar is packed with 13 different releases. Highlights here include two new colorways of A’ja Wilson’s Nike A’One, Indigo Girl and OG Pearl, two PGA Championship-inspired Nike Golf shoes, the Air Max Plus Golf and Victory Tour 4, and two new Reebok Engine A colors, one in Black and the other Energy Red. Devin Booker and Luka Doncic are also dropping new colorways of their signature sneakers, Booker coating the Book 1 in a Phoenix Suns-friendly color palette and Luka taking inspiration from his love of fishing for the Gone Fishing rendition of the Luka 4.
KD is also dropping a new colorway of his Nike KD 18, this time inspired by the Nike Air Bakin and his DMV roots. Finishing Thursday is Jakob A. Ingebrigtsen’s Nike Running collection, featuring multiple pairs including the Pegasus 41, Zoom Fly 6, and Vaporfly 4. Kicking off Friday is Travis Scott’s next Zoom Field Jaxx release, his own signature sneaker with Nike, coming in a Leche Blue color scheme. Other releases on the 16th include Kith’s New Balance 2010 pack, AURALEE’s New Balance 475 pack, Ja Morant’s collab with Kool-Aid on the Ja 2, and Cecilie Bahnsen’s Gel-Kayano 20 pack.
Finishing the week are two highly anticipated Air Jordan releases and the first-ever Nike x Hyperice collaboration. For Jordans, we are getting a retro of the Air Jordan 12 Melo, last released in 2004, and a new version of the Seoul Air Jordan 3, now taking on aged details. Nike’s Hyperice collab, the $900 Hyperboot, will see an ultra-limited release, with the boot aiding in recovery after working out.
