Find out what other new sneaker releases caught our attention in this latest installment of The Drop List.
Air Jordan 1 Rust Shadow Patina
After releasing in Europe last month, the Air Jordan 1 Patina is finally coming to North America. The Patina, also known as the Rust Shadow, adds a metallic twist to the classic design.
The Air Jordan 1 Patina features a black leather upper with Light Army suede and copper-finished leather overlays. A mint Nike Air logo patch is stitched atop a black nylon tongue, adding a hit of color to the otherwise earth tone colorway.
The Air Jordan 1 Patina releases on Tuesday, May 4th for $170 on the SNKRS app and at select retailers.
adidas Yeezy 500 Enflame
Yeezy adds a new colorway to its low-top 500 line with the adidas Yeezy 500 Enflame. The Enflame release offers a multicolor look, straying from the monotone composition the silhouette is known for.
The adidas Yeezy 500 Enflame arrives in a tonal-brown, dark blue, and orange color scheme. Its upper is constructed of mesh with leather and suede overlays throughout the silhouette. To complete the design, an orange AdiPRENE sole offers premium cushioning.
The adidas Yeezy 500 Enflame releases on Saturday, May 8th for $200 on Yeezy Supply, the adidas CONFIRMED app, and at select stores.
Air Jordan 11 Low Legend Blue
Michael Jordan debuted the Legend Blue 11 in the 1996 All-Star Game after returning from his first retirement, securing the sneaker’s immortality, but that heritage gets an update this week with the Air Jordan 11 Low Legend Blue.
The Air Jordan 11 Low Legend Blue features an all-white upper constructed of smooth leather and patent leather. Jumpman and “23” insignias are displayed on the back of the ankle. A white midsole and an “icy” translucent outsole complete the design.
The Jordan 11 Low Legend Blue releases on Friday, May 7th for $185 on the SNKRS app and at Jordan retailers.
Air Jordan 7 Flint
Jordan Brand is reissuing the Air Jordan 7 Flint for the first time in history. The Flint colorway originally debuted in 2006 alongside a slew of Retro Jordan 7 colorways, but this time it’s coming back all on its own.
The upper of the Air Jordan 7 Flint is made with white leather and Flint Grey Durabuck while hits of purple appear on the side Jumpman logo, tongue, and rubber heel patch. A polyester tongue with a grey, white, and black geometric pattern completes the Retro release.
The Air Jordan 7 Flint releases on Saturday, May 8th for $190 on the SNKRS app and at Jordan retailers.
A Bathing Ape x adidas Superstar
Legendary Japanese label A Bathing Ape and adidas are teaming up once again to deliver the adidas Superstar A Bathing Ape ABC Camo Green. This collaboration nods to early releases between the two brands, but differs from their previous Superstar design from February of this year.
The adidas Superstar A Bathing Ape ABC Camo Green features a Green ABC Camo leather upper with white adidas Three Stripes and BAPE Star logos. Gold BAPE dubraes on the laces add a luxe appeal. From there, off-white shell toes and soles provide a vintage feel.
The adidas Superstar A Bathing Ape ABC Camo Green releases on Friday, May 7th for $150 at select retailers.
LeBron 18 Low atmos Viotech
Nike pays homage to Japanese retailer atmos with the LeBron 18 Low atmos Viotech. The Viotech colorway is inspired by the celebrated 2003 atmos x Nike Air Max 1 Viotech.
The LeBron 18 Low atmos Viotech features a brown leather and Durabuck upper with a large purple Swoosh outlined in white leather. As a nod to the atmos AM1, a Nike Air Max woven patch is placed on the tongue. A gum outsole adds the finishing touch to the design.
The LeBron 18 Low atmos Viotech releases on Tuesday, May 4th for $160 on the SNKRS app and at select stores.
Air Jordan 11 Low Citrus (W)
In addition to the Air Jordan 11 Low Legend Blue, Jordan Brand brings back a 2001 women’s exclusive colorway with the Air Jordan 11 Low Citrus (W).
The upper of the Air Jordan 11 Low Citrus (W) is composed of an all-white smooth leather with a patent leather mudguard. From there, Citrus Jumpman and “23” logos are featured to the heel. A white midsole and a Citrus translucent outsole wraps this Retro model.
The Air Jordan 11 Low Citrus (W) releases on Thursday, May 6th for $185 on the SNKRS app and at Jordan retailers.
adidas Superstar The Little Mermaid
Continuing their collaboration with Disney, adidas is dedicating a series of silhouettes to the beloved characters of The Little Mermaid. Among the various models, the movie’s lead character, Ariel, inspires a crisp white adidas Superstar.
The adidas Superstar The Little Mermaid Ariel features an off-white leather upper with fish scale-debossed Three Stripes – but after falling in love with Ariel’s fishy friends, we’re not totally sure we’d want to turn them into shoes. A unique tongue label features a quote from Ariel on the inside that reads, “I don’t know how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad.” To wrap up the design, a shell and Ariel’s signature dinglehopper are etched into the heel taps.
The adidas Superstar The Little Mermaid Ariel releases on Monday, May 3rd for $85 on the adidas website and at select stores.
LEGO x adidas ZX 8000 Color Pack
LEGO and adidas Originals are joining forces once again with the LEGO x adidas ZX 8000 Color Pack. The Color Pack consists of six total color options: Black, Yellow, Grey, Green Blue, and Red.
Each design in the LEGO x adidas ZX 8000 Color Pack features a mesh and synthetic suede upper with LEGO inspired eyelets and TPU heel units. From there, a red LEGO woven label is stitched atop the tongue on each pair. A LEGO Block deubré on the laces completes the design.
