This article is part 46 of 131 in the series: The Drop List

We’re served with legendary Dunks, new retroed Jordans, and OG Reeboks all in one week. Check out, in full detail, what’s dropping in this latest edition of The Drop List.

The Nike Dunk Low Co.JP Samba

The Nike Dunk Low Co.JP Samba drops during the Swoosh’s resurgence of the traditional basketball silhouette. Just like the Nike Dunk Plum that appeared earlier in 2020, the Co.JP Samba originally released exclusively in Japan back in 2001. This year marks the first time the sneaker receives a retro treatment.

The Nike Dunk Low Co.JP Samba features an entirely leather upper. Hits of Samba Silver and Hyper Blue dress the Dunk Low model. A True Red outsole, Nike Swoosh, and back tab add contrast to the upper. A hidden detail can be found in the Swoosh itself, displaying a weave-like pattern.

Look for the Nike Dunk Low Co.JP Samba to release on August 21st for $100 on the SNKRS app and select Nike stockist.

Air Jordan 3 Laser Orange (W)

Women’s exclusives have become much more popular and the latest Air Jordan 3 Laser Orange keeps these releases moving. This latest Jordan 3 delivers all of the classic elements that are admired about the model, but with an additional splash of color.

The Air Jordan 3 Laser Orange captures a similar look and feel to the classic White Cement colorway, instead featuring hits of Laser Orange on the midsole, lace holes, and Jumpman on the tongue. This Jordan 3 brings more flare to the already popular silhouette.

The women’s exclusive Air Jordan 3 Laser Orange will drop August 21st for $190 on the SNKRS app and other Jordan stockists.

Reebok Question 25th anniversary

2020 has been a good year for Allen Iverson’s famed Reebok Question, and the release of the original suede toe colorway is even more evidence of the sneaker’s prominent return. During A.I.’s prime, the Basketball Hall of Famer wore Questions as he crossed over none other than Michael Jordan in 1996. The sneaker has been a classic for Reebok ever since.

The Reebok Question 25th Anniversary brings back the sneaker in OG form. The upper is made of white tumbled leather and hits of red on the Reebok Delta logo and lace loops. The midsole displays the brand’s signature “Hexalite” cushioning technology, present in many of Iverson’s signature kicks. The toebox is the most notable detail, with its red suede patch that adds luxe elements to the sneaker.

The Reebok Question 25th Anniversary is set to drop on Reebok’s site and other stockists on August 21st for $125.

Air Jordan 12 Indigo

Ever since Michael Jordan’s memorable 1997 Flu Game, Air Jordan 12s have been a pinnacle addition to the Jordan Brand lineage. In 2020, the Air Jordan 12 Indigo brings back everything that Jordan heads love about the sneaker.

The Air Jordan 12 Indigo shares a striking resemblance to 2012’s Obsidian retro. Most Jordan 12 retros feature tumbled leather, but the Air Jordan 12 Indigo takes on smooth, full-grain leather. White appears on the toe and midsole to add contrast to a majority indigo sneaker. From there, the iconic Jumpman logo is stamped on the outsole and embroidered on the tongue.

Check out the Air Jordan 12 Indigo when they drop on the SNKRS app and Jordan stockist on August 22nd for $190.

Yeezy 350 v2 Israfil

The Yeezy 350 v2 Israfil is the latest addition to the already extensive Yeezy catalog. The Israfil marks the first drop from the rapper turned designer for the month of August.

The Yeezy 350 v2 Israfil features the same elements that fans of the sneaker love. The upper features multi-colored threads that add a variety of looks to the wearer’s feet from different angles. From there, the upper is matched with a translucent midsole that showcases the sneaker’s BOOST cushioned tech.

The Yeezy 350 v2 Israfil drops on August 22nd for $225 on adidas site and other Yeezy stockists.
