The Yeezy 380 Pepper is the latest colorway to drop for the new Yeezy model. Since its debut in December of 2019, the Yeezy 380 has already become a staple in the Yeezy line, releasing in various colorways to make it a standout since its first appearance.

The Yeezy 380 Pepper displays tonal shades that we’ve come to expect from Yeezy and adidas. Featuring a light grey and blue Primeknit upper, the Yeezy 380 Pepper doesn’t stray far from previous releases when it comes to materials. The most striking detail is the sneaker’s midsole, showcasing black-painted BOOST cushioning, a sly reference to the 380’s Pepper moniker.

The Yeezy 380 Pepper drops in the US on Saturday, September 19th, for $230 on Yeezy Supply, the adidas App, and other Yeezy stockists.

Nike Air Max 1 Limeade

Does anyone remember Nike’s Powerwall collection? The Nike Air Max 1 Limeade sets the return of the 14-year collection that showcases the many innovations to sneaker technology that Air Max has made. Consisting of a mix of OG colorways and unique designs on various Air Max models, the Powerwall collection originally featured 56 pairs of sneakers. The Nike Air Max 1 Limeade pays homage to the legendary pack.

On the upper, the Limeade features “air” printed in bubble graphics that carry around the side panels and heel of the shoe. These graphics are met with an entirely lime green upper. Continuing to take cues from its name, the sock liner and insole feature both sliced and whole limes throughout.

Catch the Nike Air Max 1 Limeade to drop on the SNKRS app and other Nike stockists on Saturday, September 19th, for $140.

Air Jordan 3 Fragment

The Air Jordan 3 Fragment is the follow up to the very popular 2015 Air Jordan 1 collaboration. Fans have been patiently waiting for Fragment’s founder Hiroshi Fujiwara to drop a new collaboration with Jordan Brand, after a slew of other collaborations with other entities such as Louis Vuitton, Anti-Social Social Club, and Pokemon. The Air Jordan 3 Fragment brings the lighting bolt brand back to a classic Jordan model.

Following Hiroshi Fujiwara’s love for simplistic motifs, the Air Jordan 3 Fragment comes dressed in white and black. The upper features a primarily white leather upper with a black full-grain leather mudguard. This collaboration replaces the Elephant print that typically appears on a Jordan 3 with plush black leather embossed with the Fragment lighting bolt logo. The sneaker’s white midsole has the colorway’s style code and release date printed in black text. To show true unison between the two brands, the Fragment’s lighting bolt logo appears behind a translucent Jumpman, in a similar fashion to August’s Fire Red Denim 3s.

The Air Jordan 3 Fragment is slated to drop on Thursday, September 17th for $220 on the SNKRS app and a select few Jordan Brand stockists.

Air Jordan 14 Hyper Royal

The Air Jordan 14 Hyper Royal isn’t an OG colorway but it could easily pass as one. Reminiscent of the original Candy Cane colorway, this new take on the 14 is a complete contrast to the Toro Gym Reds that dropped earlier this year. The Hyper Royal Jordan 14 provides a clean colorway for everyday wear.

The Air Jordan 14 Hyper Royal showcases a white tumbled leather upper with minimal Jordan branding. A small Jumpman is embroidered over the toe while a small Jordan logo is encased in a jeweled window on the ankle. Hits of Hyper Royal blue appear on the peaks of the midsole and add contrast to a carbon fiber plating that wraps from the midsole to the outsole. The sneaker is complete with a 23 on the heel in the model’s traditional tire pattern, showing off its Ferrari-inspired design.

The Air Jordan 14 Hyper Royal releases on Saturday, September 19th for $190 on the SNKRS app and other Jordan Brand stockists.

Reebok Brain Dead Pump Court

Reebok and Brain Dead come together for a dual collaboration featuring two sneakers deep in the Delta brand’s archives. The Pump Court makes an appearance in the latest drop, making it the third time the two brands have partnered up. This time, the Pump Court takes inspiration from hieroglyphs, with the shoe taking the form of an ancient artifact.

The Pump Court, a workout sneaker that debuted in the late 90s, takes on tan and blue color tones. The laceless sneaker features cow faux fur on the vamp with blue and tan accents throughout its entirety. The pump, a common piece of laceless tech utilized by Reebok on many of their popular models, is placed on the tongue to add additional comfort to the wearer’s feet.

The highly anticipated Reebok x Brain Dead Pump Court drops exclusively on Tuesday, September 15th on Brain Dead’s site for $150, before releasing globally on the 18th.
