Jordan Brand, Travis Scott, and fragment design are flipping the Air Jordan 1 High for one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
The Air Jordan 1 High OG SP fragment design x Travis Scott draws inspiration from a Jordan 1 Royal press sample from 1985 with its white and blue tumbled leather upper. Similar to previous Travis Scott Jordan 1s, signature reverse Swooshes and hidden stash pockets in the collar add on to the classic design. From there, both Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack and fragment logos are debossed in black on the heel wrap.
The Air Jordan 1 High OG SP fragment design x Travis Scott releases on Thursday, July 29th for $200 on the SNKRS app and at select Jordan retailers.

Alongside the release of the official Nike SB Tokyo Olympics uniforms, Nike and Dutch artist and sneaker collab veteran Parra are teaming up for another Nike SB Dunk Low collaboration.
The Nike SB Dunk Low Parra Abstract Art highlights Parra’s surreal take on pop art. White leather on the upper creates a blank canvas so that overlays smothered in vibrant, retro Parra patterns rise to prominence. Additional details like the embroidered mini-Swoosh on the toe box and gum outsole offer nostalgic appeal.
The Nike SB Dunk Low Parra Abstract Art releases on Saturday, July 31st for $110 on the SNKRS app and at select skate shops.

Stepping on LEGOs typically doesn’t sound like a good idea, but the adidas Superstar LEGO White Black might change your mind.
The adidas Superstar LEGO White Black is not entirely made of LEGOs, but it does feature an array of LEGO block-style details throughout its design that does not jeopardize comfort. The signature Superstar shell toe, three stripes, and heel tab are all constructed with thin LEGO blocks. Even the shape of the tongue and stitch construction nod to the block shapes of LEGOs.
The adidas Superstar LEGO White Black releases on Friday, July 30th for $140 on the adidas CONFIRMED app and at select retailers.

On the heel, an Undercover Basketball Association logo appears in a similar style as vintage Team USA logos. A speckled sole and branded woven tongue label add the finishing touches to this retro design.
