This week's hottest releases.

This article is part 27 of 188 in the series: The Drop List

This week we are set for some of the hottest drops of the year. Nike doubles down with a new Supreme collaboration, alongside a string of Day of the Dead-inspired releases. Meanwhile, Jordan Brand and Reebok gear up to re-release some all-time-classics. Let’s take an in-depth look at this week’s heat.

Air Jordan 1 Lucky Green

The Air Jordan 1 Lucky Green adds to Jordan Brandā€™s catalogue of exclusive colourways for women. The Jordan 1 Tie-Dye and Satin Snake were two examples of heavy hitters for female sneakerheads this year, and the Lucky Green iteration continues that hot streak.

The Jordan 1 Lucky Green takes inspiration from Michael Jordanā€™s 63-point game against the Boston Celtics in 1986. Although its purpose is to draw attention towards MJā€™s iconic scoring performance, the sneakers are colloquially called the Heiniken for its resemblance to the 2003 Nike SB Dunk Low. A mix of Lucky Green, white, and black tumbled leathers are featured on the upper. Hits of red come through on the wings logo, back, and tongue tab.

The Air Jordan 1 Lucky Green is slated to drop Wednesday, October 14th, for Ā£139.95 on the Nike SNKRS app and other Jordan stockists.

Nike SB Dunk Low Crater

Nike has recently begun to focus on making their products more eco-friendly. And following the success of the Dunk Low SP Lemon, this week sees the release of the brandā€™s second silhouette as a part of their Move to Zero initiative.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Craterā€™s come with uppers crafted from recycled canvas materials instead of the usual leathers and a sole produced from recycled items and manufacturing scraps. The release comes in a dark grey colourway and features a minimalist-style swoosh that is reminiscent of the Sashiko Dunk that released back in August. Down below, thereā€™s the usual zoom air-cushioned sole we have become accustomed to with Dunk releases.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Crater is set to release on the 17th October for a retail price of Ā£84.95

Justin Bieber x Crocs

Sneakers arenā€™t the only thing popping off this week. Justin Bieber is dropping his first collaboration with Crocs. Itā€™s not every day that we get to highlight everyoneā€™s favourite clog, but Crocs has been dishing out a plethora of collaborations with designers and musical artists, like Post Malone, Takashi Murakami, and most recently, Bad Bunny. This week, Justin Bieber adds his own style to the Classic Clog.

The Justin Bieber Crocs collab represents Bieberā€™s Drew House clothing line. The shoe is dressed entirely in a dandelion yellow similar to his brandā€™s smiley-face logo. From there, the entirely understated clog gets vamped up with special edition Jibbitz, featuring the ā€œdrewā€ logo, lollipops, donuts, sunflowers, and other designs to give off the ā€œpositive vibesā€ JB wanted to convey through the project.

Look for the Justin Bieber x Crocs to release this Tuesday, October 13th, for Ā£54.99 on both the Crocs and Drew House websites.

Supreme Nike Air Max Plus Tn

After dropping their yearly set of apparel for the Fall/Winter, Supreme and Nike come together yet again for their seasonal sneaker collaboration. This time, the two brands partner on the Air Max Plus Tn, a sneaker considered a cult classic in major cities globally, like Paris, London, New York, and even Sydney. Originally debuted in 1998, Supreme has added new design elements that take the sneaker out of its traditional mould.

The Nike Air Max Plus Tn Supreme is as loud and vibrant – matching the pedigree of past Supreme Nike collaborations. The pack of three comes in volt green, black, and all-white colourways, each putting into good use the unique curvature of the TPU fingers on the upper. The skateboarding brand morphed these fingers to spell out ā€œSUPREMEā€, adding hidden-in-plain-sight branding to the model. From there, these fingers show off a gradient of blue and orange for on the volt pair, while red and pink are featured on the black pair, giving off a flame-like element to the sneaker. The all-white colourway is the most understated, with just a hit of University Red from the Swoosh logo on the upper.

The Nike Air Max Plus Tn Supreme is set to release this week on Thursday, October 15th, on Supremeā€™s site. MSRP has yet to be announced.
