The Drop List 8.31.2020

All eyes are set on this month’s releases of the Air Jordan 1 Bio Hack and Nike Dunk Low Disrupts. Take a look at what else caught our attention for this week of The Drop List.

Air Jordan 1 Bio Hack

Remember back in 2005 when Nike collaborated on a Dunk High with Undefeated? The LA sneaker boutique put their very unique spin on the basketball silhouette, adding bold colors and an unpadded throat on the shoe. Now, the same mismatched color pattern has returned, only this time it on the Air Jordan 1. 

The Air Jordan 1 Bio Hack pushes the model to a whole new territory when it comes to color palettes. The upper is made of various suedes and leathers, matched with a hodgepodge of black, Baroque Brown, and Racer Pink. A metallic leather Swoosh is contrasted by a light green midsole to add even further appeal to the traditional model.

Unlike the limited nature of the original UNDFTD Dunk, with only 5,000 pairs in existence, the Air Jordan 1 Bio Hack will be available this Friday, September 4th for $170 on the SNKRS app and other Jordan Brand stockists.

Nike Dunk Disrupt Black and Gym Red

The Nike Dunk has resurfaced in an unprecedented way causing interest for the classic model to sky-rocket. After a slew of successful releases, and many L’s dished out by the SNKRS app, the Dunk Low continues to earn hype as people look to redeem their L’s for W’s. This week, Nike is set to release the Nike Dunk Disrupt, further adding to the Dunk hype and giving more shoppers the chance to rock the popular sneaker.

Even though the Nike Dunk Disrupt is still considered a Dunk, it features new elements from the traditional basketball silhouette. For starters, the most obvious change is in the sole, featuring a very thick and rigid design. Secondly, the sneaker’s upper holds similar characteristics to Virgil Abloh’s deconstructed motif, as certain leather overlays drape off of mesh. Finally, the tongue shows exposed cushioning, similar to your everyday Nike Blazer ‘77. 

Look for the Nike Dunk Disrupt Black and Gym Red set to debut this Friday, September 4th, for $110 on the SNKRS app and other Nike stockists. Game Royal and Photon Dust colorways will release later in the month.

Not much has been said for the Air Jordan 7 this year, as Air Jordan 1s and 3s have dominated the release calendar for Jordan Brand. But his Airness has graced fans with the return of the shoe in its loudest colorway yet with this week’s GC Chile Red release.

The Air Jordan 7 GC Chile Red commemorates Michael Jordan’s 1996 Olympic run with The Dream Team. The sneaker’s upper is hit with a mix of graphics. Textured white leather and black suede hold host to a gloss-print dragon throughout. An array of colorful cloud graphics appear on the medial side, adding more depth to the already enticing sneaker. On the heel is MJ’s number that we wore during the Olympic. A glow-in-the-dark sole completes the design, making it one of the few Air Jordan 7s packed with an abundance of details.

Check out the Air Jordan GC 7 Chile Red as it drops on the SNKRS app on Saturday, September 5, for $200.
