Air Jordan 1 Lucky Green

The Air Jordan 1 Lucky Green is the latest womenā€™s exclusive colorway from Jordan Brand. The Jordan 1 Tie-Dye and Satin Snake were two examples of heavy hitters for female sneakerheads this year, and the Lucky Green continues that hot streak.

The Jordan 1 Lucky Green takes inspiration from Michael Jordanā€™s 63-point game against the Boston Celtics in 1986. Although its purpose is to draw attention towards MJā€™s iconic scoring performance, the sneakers are known colloquially as the Heiniken for its resemblance to the 2003 Nike SB Dunk Low. A mix of Lucky Green, white, and black tumbled leathers are featured on the upper. Hits of red come through on the wings logo, back, and tongue tab.

The Air Jordan 1 Lucky Green is slated to drop Wednesday, October 14th, for $170 on the Nike SNKRS app and other Jordan stockists.

Air Jordan 4 Union Off-Noir

Missed out on the first go-around for the Air Jordan 4 Union Off-Noir? Well, Nike is answering the prayers of all L-takers with a wider release of this yearā€™s Union x Jordan collaboration.

The Off-Noir Jordan 4 makes its second appearance a month after its Union exclusive release. The Union x Jordan collaboration brought a new folded tongue design, paying homage to the sneakerā€™s 80ā€™s upbringing and style from that era. Featuring a mix of Off-Noir suede and mesh uppers, this Jordan 4 packs hints of blue, red, and beige on its sole, back tab, ankle, and ā€œWingsā€ lacing system.

Test your luck for a second time this week, as the Air Jordan 4 Union Off-Noir drops on the SNKRS app and a select few stockists this Friday, October 16, for $250.

Justin Bieber x Crocs

Sneakers arenā€™t the only thing popping off this week: Justin Bieber is dropping his first collaboration with Crocs. Itā€™s not every day that we get to highlight everyoneā€™s favorite clog, but Crocs has been dishing out a plethora of collaborations with designers and musical artists, like Post Malone, Takashi Murakami, and most recently, Bad Bunny. This week, Justin Bieber adds his own style to the Classic Clog

The Justin Bieber Crocs collab represents Bieberā€™s Drew House clothing line. The shoe is dressed entirely in a dandelion yellow similar to his brandā€™s smiley-face logo. From there, the understated clog gets amped up with special edition Jibbitz, featuring the ā€œDrewā€ logo, lollipops, donuts, sunflowers, and other designs to give off the ā€œpositive vibesā€ JB wanted to convey through the project.

Look for the Justin Bieber x Crocs to release this Tuesday, October 13th, for $60 on both the Crocs and Drew House websites.

Air Jordan 1 Zoom Sisterhood

Jordan Brand continues to dish out new colorways of the Air Jordan 1 Zoom with this weekā€™s upcoming Ā Sisterhood drop. In 2020, Jordan Brand has made a conscious effort to release more products exclusively for women and relinquish the controversial ā€œShrink it and Pink itā€ strategy for female sneakers. ā€œWearing a pair of Js, you look awesome and feel great ā€“ thatā€™s a distinctive Jordan feeling,ā€ states Jordan Brandā€™s GM of Jordan Woman, Andrea Perez, during 2018ā€™s Jordan Brand Summit. ā€œThis same principle should work for women as well as for men. Itā€™s undeniable for Her.ā€ The upcoming Air Jordan 1 Zoom Sisterhood continues to push the wave of womenā€™s exclusive colorways.

The Air Jordan 1 Zoom Sisterhood is one metal stud away from being a leather motorcycle jacket for your feet. The upper consists of black and blue tumbled leather and white mesh on the Swoosh logo. Metal studs are pinned throughout the ankle as the exposed lining on the tongue and sock of the sneaker add contrast. Finally, the insole is embedded with Zoom tech for added comfort for everyday wear.

Catch the womenā€™s exclusive Air Jordan 1 Zoom Sisterhood to drop this Thursday, October 15th, for $170 on the SNKRS app and other Jordan stockists.

Supreme Nike Air Max Plus Tn

After dropping their perennial set of apparel for the Fall/Winter, Supreme and Nike came together yet again for their seasonal sneaker collaboration. This time, the two brands partnered on the Air Max Plus Tn, a sneaker considered a cult classic in major cities globally, like Paris, London, New York, and even Sydney. Originally debuted in 1998, Supreme added new design elements that take the sneaker out of its traditional mold.

The Nike Air Max Plus Tn Supreme is loud and vibrant – matching the pedigree of past Supreme Nike collaborations. The pack of three comes in Volt green, black, and all-white colorways, each putting into good use the unique curvature of the TPU on the upper. The skateboarding brand morphed this material to spell out ā€œSUPREMEā€, adding hidden-in-plain-sight branding to the model. From there, the TPU shows off a gradient of blue and orange for on the Volt pair, while red and pink are featured on the black pair, giving a flame-like element to the sneaker. The all-white colorway is the most understated, with just a hit of University Red from the Swoosh logo on the upper.

The Nike Air Max Plus Tn Supreme is set to release this week on Thursday, October 15th, on Supremeā€™s site, while an October 16th date is slated for Japan. MSRP has yet to be announced.
