This article is part 60 of 131 in the series: The Drop List

This week, Jordan Brand unleashes a new Jordan 1 colorway and Nike commemorates the release of Space Jam: A New Legacy with a Looney Tunes-themed sneaker collection. Find out what other new releases are coming your way in this latest installment of The Drop List.

Air Jordan 1 High Electro Orange

If you have been eyeing the Air Jordan 1 Black Toe but can’t justify the splurge, the Air Jordan 1 High Electro Orange makes a valid alternative.

The Jordan 1 High Electro Orange nods traditional Jordan 1 color blocking. Its primarily white and black leather upper with hits of Electro Orange provides a versatile palette that is geared for daily wear, just like the original.

The Air Jordan 1 High Electro Orange releases on Saturday, July 17th for $170 on the SNKRS app and at select retailers.

To celebrate the release of Space Jam: A New Legacy, Nike teams up with Xbox for a special edition Xbox Wireless Controller and LeBron 18 Low Wile E. vs. Roadrunner sneaker bundle.

The LeBron 18 Low Wile E. vs. Roadrunner directly references key motifs of both Wile E. Coyote and the unbeatable Roadrunner in its mismatched design. Tributing Wile E. Coyote, the right shoe features brown tones with symbolic “ACME” contraptions scattered throughout the upper. On the other shoe, the left shoe pays homage to Roadrunner with its tonal blue upper and dust cloud graphics. Wrapping up the bundle, the special edition Xbox Wireless Controller is decorated with similar motifs as the LeBron 18 Lows, most notably its “ACME” branded D-pad.

The LeBron 18 Low Xbox Controller Set Wile E. vs. Roadrunner bundle releases on Thursday, July 15th for $220 on the SNKRS app and at select stores.

Nike honors three of the greatest rivalries in the Looney Tunes universe with the LeBron 18 Low Space Jam collection.

Nike LeBron 18 Low Space Jam Collection draws inspiration from three iconic match-ups: Bugs Bunny vs. Marvin the Martian, Tweety Bird vs. Sylvester, and Roadrunner vs. Wile E. Coyote. Each is paired with its own design, presenting color palettes and symbols that are synonymous with the characters portrayed. 

All three Nike LeBron 18 Low Space Jam colorways release on Friday, July 16th for $160 on the SNKRS app and at select stores.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Hare Space Jam

In the past, we have seen Hare Jordans, but now for the first time, Nike delivers a pair of Hare Force 1s.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Hare Space Jam references the Tune Squad’s team colors in its white tumbled leather upper with Light Blue Fury suede overlays. From there, graphics of Lola and Bugs Bunny appear on cut-out patches and even on the woven tongue labels, turning this Air Force into a Hare Force.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Hare Space Jam releases on Friday, July 16th for $120 on the SNKRS app and at select stores.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Space Jam Computer Chip

Contrary to the Hare Force 1s, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Space Jam Computer Chip doesn’t focus on any particular character. Instead, it gives a spoiler into how LeBron might join the Tune Squad.

We won’t ruin any surprises, but the upper of the Nike Air Force 1 Low Space Jam Computer Chip does carry a strong theme of advanced technology. Computer chip iconography, like what you might see in a graphics card, smothers the entirety of its black leather upper, and if you look closely, you will find that the silhouettes of team members of the Tune Squad are depicted in the pattern. From there, a glow-in-the-dark sole adds an electric touch.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Space Jam Computer Chip releases on Friday, July 16th for $120 on the SNKRS app and at select Nike retailers.

Converse All-Star Chuck Taylor Space Jam Pack

Alongside the LeBron and Air Force 1 Space Jam releases, Nike sister brand Converse offers two Space Jam iterations with a classic Chuck 70 and Chuck Taylor All-Star.

The Converse Chuck 70 Space Jam honors the newest Tune Squad member, LeBron James with his “6” number and “Tune Squad” chenille patches stitched on either side of the heel. The second iteration, the Chuck Taylor All-Star Space Jam, features a similar computer chip patterned upper as the AF1 Space Jam Computer Chip, only this time with an assortment of Looney Tunes characters printed on top instead of camouflaged within the chip graphics.

Both Converse Chuck 70 Space Jam and Chuck Taylor All-Star Space Jam release on Friday, July 16th for $120 and $70 on the SNKRS app and at select stores.

Nike explores patchwork and DIY design elements with the women’s exclusive Nike Air Max 90 Legacy (W).

The Nike Air Max 90 Legacy (W) looks like a scrapbook of materials. Its multicolor upper features fabrics ranging from canvas and leather, to mesh and ripstop nylon, all the way to denim. On the heel, wearers are given the option to customize their look by removing detachable branded patches that are secured by velcro.

The Nike Air Max 90 Legacy (W) releases on Wednesday, July 14th for $140 on the SNKRS app and at select stores.
