Deadheads rejoice as the Nike SB Dunk Low Grateful Dead pack finally sees a release date. Anticipation for the furry kicks has been building ever since the release of the equally loud Chunky Dunky SB Dunk Lows from May. After last week’s extremely limited drop of the Orange pair from the pack, the entire Nike SB Dunk Low Grateful Dead pack comes full circle with the green and yellow pairs releasing this week

Reminiscent of Nike SB’s Three Bears pack from 2006, the Nike SB Dunk Grateful Dead pack is full-on furry. The sneakers feature both suede and faux fur on the toe, side panels, and ankle, themed after the band’s Dancing Bears. From there, a special lightning-shaped Swoosh pays homage to the band’s Skull logo. A zippered stash pocket in the tongue finishes up the design, bringing back Nike SB Dunk High “Skunk” vibes.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Grateful Dead sneakers drop this Friday, July 24th in Yellow and Green for $110. Look for the Green pair to release at select skate shops and the Yellow pair to arrive on the SNKRS app.

Air Jordan x Off-White 4 Sail

There’s always heat when Air Jordan and Off-White partner together, and this week’s release is no different. After its first appearance earlier this year at the Off-White FW20 Women’s show in Paris, the Air Jordan 4 Sail is set to release this week.

Fans of Virgil’s deconstructed look on popular Air Jordan models will be delighted to see the designer’s motif return on this upcoming drop. The Air Jordan 4 Sail features full-grain leather uppers with hits of mesh and translucent materials on the toebox and heel of the shoe. From there, hits of light blue on the tongue’s Jumpman and the outsole’s Nike Swoosh provide contrast to the sail colored sneaker.

The Air Jordan x Off-White 4 Sail releases this Saturday, July 25th for $200 on SNKRS and other Jordan stockists.

Air Jordan 12 University Gold

Ever since ESPN’s The Last Dance, love for the Air Jordan 12 has increased due to inclusion in Michael Jordan’s famous “Flu Game.” Capitalizing on that hype, Jordan Brand brings back the Jordan 12 in a new University Gold colorway.

The upcoming Air Jordan 12 University Gold brings back the sneaker’s unique use of color blocking on the 1997 model. This sneaker’s upper is composed of black tumbled leather while featuring a gold pebbled-textured mudguard to provide a bold contrast. Carbon fiber plating in the sneaker’s sole provides stability for the wearer’s feet while on the court.

The Air Jordan 12 University Gold releases this Friday, July 24th for $190 on the SNKRS app and other Jordan stockists.

Kanye West and adidas continue strong with back-to-back releases every week. Last week’s Zyon 350 V2 added a new colorway to the model’s very extensive catalog, and this Saturday’s Blue Oat release delivers a new shade to this year’s 380.

Set to drop in both a reflective and non-reflective colorway, the adidas Yeezy 380 Blue Oat combines breathability and comfort all in one shoe. A mix of brown and blue within its knitted upper makes up the Yeezy sneaker, with BOOST tech embedded in the sole for ultimate wearability.

The adidas Yeezy 380 Blue Oat sees two releases this week, the reflective pair dropping July 24th and non-reflective dropping July 25th for $220 on adidas site and other Yeezy stockists.
