If you're a fan of retro basketball sneakers, you're in luck. This week, a handful of great pairs are hitting stores.
The batch is highlighted by the return of the "Eggplant" Air Foamposite One for the first time in seven years. There are also two Air Jordan 5s, a brand new "Lucky Green" colorway in women's sizing and the return of 2006's "Olive" Air Jordan 5. Looking for something new, Adidas is dropping off another solid pair of Anthony Edwards' AE 1s on Friday morning.
