What You Need to Know: One of the most frustrating parts about modern sneaker culture is the fact that many of the people copping pairs on release day are doing so for no other reason than to flip them for even more money. In a unique protest of sorts, Jordan Brand is releasing the "Not For Resale" Air Jordan I. The pair features a traditional black-and-white leather upper with red accents. The important details come in the form of various text written across area of the shoe a la Virgil Abloh that read messages like "Not For Resale" on the midsole, "Wear Me" across the tongue tags, "Please Crease" on the toe boxes, "No Photos" stitched on the heel, and "No L's" on the insoles.

Price: $220
When: Friday, Nov. 9 at 10 a.m.
Where: adidas.com and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Adidas is restocking the once-revered "Zebra" Yeezy Boost 350 V2 one more time.

No longer nearly as limited as they were upon their initial release in 2017 (and with Yeezy hype dwindling), expect the "Zebra" restock to be slightly easier to acquire than past drops.

Price: $220
When: Saturday, Nov. 10
Where: Select Adidas retailers
What You Need to Know: New York's Kinfolk has gotten the opportunity to create its own Adidas Ultra Boost as a part of Adidas' Ultra Boost Collective.

Diamond Supply Co. x Nike SB Dunk Low 'Black Diamond'
Price: $100
When: Thursday, Nov. 8 (pop-up) and Saturday, Nov. 10 at 10 a.m. (Nike SNKRS)
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Back in 2005, Diamond Supply Co. released its Nike SB collaboration. The "Tiffany" Dunk Low would go on to become one of the most hyped-up releases in the history of sneakers. Over a decade later, Nick Tershay (aka Nicky Diamonds) is back again with another collab. Taking cues from the original, a black leather upper is accented by crocodile panels, a Diamond logo on the tongue, and metallic silver Swoosh. A new feature for the 2018 project is a Velcro Swoosh that can be removed to reveal Tiffany-colored Velcro. "Diamond" can also be seen written in black on the heel when the leather heel tab is flipped up. To capture some of the magic of SB's heyday in the mid-2000s, Tershay made sure the SB Dunk Low's build mimicked its predecessor with the same shape and signature puffy tongue. Along with the black pair, a white version will be releasing exclusively at select skate shops as well.
