Air Jordan 1 Satin Snakeskin

Air Jordan 1 Satin Snake - StockX

Jordan Brand continues teasing consumers with OG Chicago colorways with the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Satin Snakeskin. This womenā€™s exclusive delivers the perfect marriage of luxe and sport and adds to the already very impressive line of past Air Jordan 1 Highs for the ladies.

This latest Air Jordan 1 brings back the classic Red and Black colors that Jordan heads love. The Air Jordan 1 Satin Snakeskin features black snake textured leather on the heel and ankle. Red and white leather covers the rest of the upper while satin lining completes the shoe to bring further comfort to your feet.

The womenā€™s exclusive Air Jordan 1 Satin Snakeskin drops on Thursday, August 6 for $170 on the SNKRS app and other Nike stockists.

Air Jordan 1 Co.JP Neutral Grey

Ever since its debut back in 2001, fans of the legendary Air Jordan 1 Co.JP have been waiting patiently for their second chance at copping the exclusive pair. Nearly two decades later, the high top sneaker returns in its OG fashion.

With only 2,020 pairs of the updated retro available, the sneaker comes packed with mostly identical elements as the first version. It features a mix of grey suede and metallic tumbled leather throughout the upper, but the traditional ā€œWingsā€ stamp is replaced with a jeweled version. Finally, this updated pair features a different tongue, where ā€œNike Airā€ is embroidered instead of 2001sā€™ Jumpman tag.

Expect the Air Jordan 1 Co.JP to release this Friday, August 7 for $170 on Nikeā€™s SNKRS app.

Air Jordan 6 Quai54

After months of odd release dates and teasers, the Air Jordan 6 Quai54 is finally dropping in the states. Two colorways were created for this yearā€™s Quai54, in celebration of the worldwide basketball tournament sponsored by Jordan Brand in France. This alternative pair is one of two, with the other featuring brown and tan textiles on the upper.

This Air Jordan 6 Quai54 features kente-esque patterns on the upper with a mix of tan tumbled leather. The heels of each sneaker are different: the right has an embroidered Quai54 logo; the left features the traditional ā€œNike Airā€ with the Swoosh. Additionally, the shoe has a purple lace lock to keep those laces intact.

Look for the Air Jordan 6 Quai54 to drop on Saturday, August 8th for $200 on the Nike SNKRS app.

Concepts x New Balance 327

Whenever Boston-based sneaker boutique, Concepts, partners up with New Balance, it always turns heads. The 999 Kennedys and the 997 C-Notes are certified classics. Their upcoming project working on the New Balance 327 is no different. Dubbed the ā€œCape,ā€ the sneaker celebrates Massachusettsā€™ Cape Cod and their many cranberry bogs used to make the signature cocktail.

The latest New Balance 327 is made up of cranberry red nylon and suede. From there the lime green EVA-cushion in the midsole represents the lime wedge that tops the cocktail. Finally, the outsole is dressed in translucent icy blue as a nod to the drink being served on the rocks.

The Concepts x New Balance 327 drops this week on Friday, August 7th on Conceptsā€™ site, with a wider release next week for $140.

Reebok Questions OG Meets OG

Collaboration between two big shoe brands is rare, let alone a collab between two star athletes. But this upcoming release for the Reebok Question does just that, being a partnership between Reebok and adidas’ two star athletes, Allen Iverson and James Harden. The shoe is meant to represent the two basketball players by paying homage to each otherā€™s iconic styles of play.

This upcoming Reebok Question includes black and red accents, representing AIā€™s old school Philadelphia 76ers uniform and Hardenā€™s current Houston Rockets jersey. Tumbled black leather is placed on the upper with hits of red on the lining and stitched within the rope laces. Although this collab is on the Answerā€™s popular sneaker model, Hardenā€™s logo is placed on the shoeā€™s heel.

The Reebok Question OG Meets OG arrives on Friday, August 7th on Reebokā€™s site and other Reebok stockists for $150.
