Another week, another firestorm of releases. Nike has had their foot on the gas for months and this week is no different. The Nike Space Hippie Collection is finally entering Earth’s orbit this weekend and the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly officially becomes available to runners across the world. With more on the way, here is everything dropping in our latest edition of The Drop List.

After a delay that has felt centuries-long to many Dunk fans across the globe, the Nike Dunk Low University Red has finally arrived. Nike continues their streak of Be True To Your School Dunk colorways with this latest offering, solidifying 2020 as a spectacular year for the Dunk Low silhouette.
The Nike Dunk Low University Red stays true to the OG St. John’s color blocking and features a white leather upper with University Red overlays. Classic Nike branding on the tongue, a white midsole, and red outsole adds the finishing touches to this collegiate colorway.
If you struck out on SNKRS and couldn’t secure a pair for $100 USD retail this morning, you can still show your school spirit and purchase here.
Jordan 14 Gym Red

This week, Jordan Brand adds a new Chicago Bulls themed colorway to its Jordan 14 catalog with the Jordan 14 Gym Red. By now it’s no secret that Tinker Hatfield drew heavy inspiration for this design from Ferrari’s. The Gym Red colorway accentuates this inspiration while still delivering the silhouette in a refreshing new colorway.
Similar to the Jordan 14 Challenge Red, the Jordan 14 Gym Red consists of a red suede upper but instead of carbon fiber detailing it features black toe with white detailing. Sticking to the OG design, this Jordan 14 dons traditional rubber heel tabs that represent Ferrari wheels. Textile tongues, white Jumpman branding on the toes, and a black outsole completes this new variant worthy of the last shot.
At a retail price of $190 USD, look out for the Jordan 14 Gym Red to release on the SNKRS app and at select retailers this Thursday, July 2nd.
Nike Space Hippie Collection

The Space Hippie project came about when Nike designers were given the challenge to work with nothing but the materials around them. By utilizing scrap material from factory floors, recycled polyester yarns, and Nike’s famous Grind rubber (ground-up shoes that tend to make up athletic courts), these designers were able to make one of their most sustainable collections yet.
Nike’s Space Hippie Collection features four unique silhouettes that draw inspiration from Nike shoes in their existing product lines. Each design is named simply – 01 through 04 – and features technologies ranging from FlyEase to ZoomX. From construction to packaging, everything delivered in this collection is made up of 100% recycled materials.
Act fast and turn on your post notifications because the entire Nike Space Hippie pack will be available on the SNKRS app this Friday, July 3rd with retail prices ranging from $130 USD to $180 USD.

Get ready to shatter your personal record. Nike Running is changing the game once again and releasing their most innovative silhouette to date with the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next%.
The Alphafly Next% offers road runners the duality of responsiveness in a lightweight design. Design improvements go a long way and Nike-led independent studies can back it up. The Alphafly has been shown to improve performance by at least 4%. That could be the difference between first and second place.
While Olympic trial qualifiers have been able to race in this shoe for months, you can finally join them and gain a competitive advantage when the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% releases at select stockists on Thursday, July 2nd at a retail of $250 USD.
