adidas Yeezy Boost 700 Wave Runner
The adidas Yeezy Boost 700 Wave Runner returns for the sixth time since its 2017 debut.
The Yeezy 700 Wave Runner is the shoe that led Yeezy’s pivot from a sleek, minimal aesthetic to a chunky, 90s inspired one. This was the gateway sneaker between knit runners like the 350 and the grungy skate look of the 550. Arriving in its original form, adidas Yeezy Boost 700 Wave Runner features a grey mesh and leather upper with black suede overlays and teal mesh underlays. At the base, a thick Boost sole and contrasting hits of orange complete the design.
The adidas Yeezy Boost 700 Wave Runner re-releases on Tuesday, March 22nd for $300 on the adidas CONFIRMED app and in select stores.

Air Jordan 3 Muslin
Jordan Brand makes the Jordan 3 silhouette a blank canvas with the Air Jordan 3 Muslin.
The Air Jordan 3 Muslin gives wearers an opportunity for customization, with heavy-duty canvas upper and grey suede overlays. If you want a clean look that will pair well with any outfit, you can leave them as they are. At $200 this sneaker is an expensive base for a craft project but, if you want to get creative with a DIY project the canvas uppers will easily hold the pigment of whatever color you choose to dye them in.
The Air Jordan 3 Muslin releases on Friday, March 25th for $200 on the SNKRS app and in select Jordan retailers.

Nike Dunk Low Vintage Green (W)
The origins of the Nike Dunk are synonymous with the rise of college basketball. It’s only right that Nike would deliver the collegiate-themed women’s exclusive Nike Dunk Low Vintage Green (W) just in time for March Madness.
Constructed with a smooth white and Pro Green leather upper, the women’s Nike Dunk Low Vintage Green (W) explores the same two-tone color blocking featured on the first line of Nike Dunks in 1985. From there, vintage-styled, yellowed soles and laces add the finishing touches to this retro design.
The women’s Nike Dunk Low Vintage Green (W) releases on Thursday, March 24th for $110 on the SNKRS app and in select stores.

adidas Yeezy Knit RNR Stone Carbon
For the first time since debuting last September, Yeezy adds a new look to the adidas Yeezy Knit RNR with the adidas Yeezy Knit RNR Stone Carbon.
In a two-tone yellow and Stone Carbon knit construction, the Yeezy Knit RNR Stone Carbon hugs the foot like a sock. The base of the upper offers a more rugged feel than the collar, similar to the styling of nitride-dipped gardening gloves. On the collar, size information is printed in black to denote the size of each pair externally.
The adidas Yeezy Knit RNR Stone Carbon releases on Saturday, March 26th for $200 on the adidas CONFIRMED app and in select retailers.

adidas Yeezy QNTM Mono Carbon
In addition to the Knit RNR Stone Carbon, Yeezy continues the Carbon theme with the adidas Yeezy QNTM Mono Carbon.
If you are familiar with past Yeezy QNTM releases, it would be easy to mistake the adidas Yeezy QNTM Mono Carbon for the original Yeezy QNTM that debuted in 2020. They both feature a marbled grey Primeknit construction with a suede toe wrap and semi-translucent sole that seamlessly meshes into the upper. The main differentiator between the two is that the Mono Carbon has a slightly more yellowed sole and subtle hits of a greenish-grey on the upper. Other than that, they are very similar. Also: the Mono Carbon releases this week, whereas the OG is long gone from retailers.
The adidas Yeezy QNTM Mono Carbon releases on Saturday, March 25th for $250 on the adidas website and in select stores.
