The Nike Dunk Low Ceramic is making its first return this week. Originally released in 2001, the Ceramic colorway was a part of the ā€œUgly Ducklingā€ pack with fellow pack-mates the Veener and Plum, which have each seen a retro treatment in 2020. This weekā€™s release brings back the nearly 10-year old colorway, giving fans of the OG pair a way to re-up or add it to their collection.

Similar to the other colorways within the pack, the Nike Dunk Low Ceramic is composed of a premium suede upper. Orange appears throughout the upper with hits of black and green on the toe and Nike Swoosh. Lastly, a mesh tongue wraps the sneaker up, bringing it back in true original form.

The Nike Dunk Low Ceramic drops Thursday, November 19th, for $100 on SNKRS app and other Nike retailers.

Nike Dunk Low Cactus Plant Flea Market

This Nike Dunk Low has to be one of the shiniest dunks to ever release, and we mean that literally. The sneaker was first seen in the hands of high profile individuals, such as Yoon Anh and Kylie Jenner, making peoplesā€™ hopes of a wider release a potential fantasy. But with official release details coming from Nike, the possibility of owning them has become a reality.

The Nike Dunk Low Cactus Plant Flea Market is covered in Swarovski crystals. From the toe to the tongue, to the heel, the sneaker shines as bright as a diamond. Another notable feature is the oversized Swoosh, which is an unusual addition to the basketball silhouette. Despite the sneaker being categorized as a Dunk, the sneaker also holds a puffier tongue, similar to your average SB.

The Nike Dunk Low CPFM releases this Thursday, November 18th for $130 exclusively on cactusplantfleamarket.com

Every year, Boston-boutique, Concepts, delivers some of the most creative collaborations to date. From their Kennedy New Balances to new colorways of their Nike SB Dunk Lobster collection, Concepts never misses on telling stories through their partnerships with brands. This week, they release one of their most over-the-top sneakers to date with the Nike SB Dunk High Turdunken.

The upcoming Nike SB Dunk Turdunken takes inspiration from mallards and Thanksgiving traditions. The sneaker holds iridescent material on the tongue and Swoosh to represent the birdā€™s colorful head and feathers. The side panels feature textured leather, mimicking bird feathers as well, while plush materials on the heel and toe imitate down jackets worn by hunters. A Hyper Orange outsole adds to the hunting-season aesthetic.

The Nike SB Dunk Turdunken releases Saturday, November 21st for $120 on the SNKRS app and other Nike SB stockists.

Nike Air Force 1 1-800

Dial-in your excitement for this upcoming Nike Air Force 1 as the Swoosh grabs inspiration from classic telephone ads. This hyper-conceptual twist to the Air Force 1 adds quirky elements to the traditional basketball silhouette with various prints on the upper and phone button lace deubrƩs.

The Nike Air Force 1 1-800 is subtle in color but bold in graphics. Phrases like ā€œToll-Freeā€ and ā€œCall Nowā€ are laminated throughout the sneakerā€™s upper in glossy white print, camouflaging into the all-white leather. A grey leather swoosh adds contrast, while 1-800 is embroidered on the sneakerā€™s tongue tab. The most noticeable element of the sneaker is the laceā€™s accessory, designed in the shape of buttons on your classic home phone. Together, the buttons spell out A-F-1.

Catch the Nike Air Force 1 1-800 this Friday, November 20th for $130 on the SNKRS app and other Nike stockists.

Womenā€™s exclusive Jordans have been a home run for the brand in recent years. With colorways such as the Tie-Dye 1s and Off-White 4s, women exclusive colorways are becoming more popular than some general-released sneakers. The Jordan 1 Mid gets a fresh treatment with the upcoming Homecoming drop.

This Jordan 1 Mid is hit with a hodgepodge of materials. The upper holds a mix of leather, corduroy, and metal. Gold stitching appears throughout the sneakerā€™s structure, while Chile Red and black leather clash on the heel and toe. A blue felt Swoosh offers an additional pop of color on the mid sneaker.

If youā€™re looking to rock the Jordan 1 Mid Let(Her)man, theyā€™ll be releasing this Wednesday, November 18th, for $130 on the SNKRS app and Jordan Brand stockists.
