A pro BMX rider releases an official Air Jordan collaboration, Supreme releases a soccer sneaker, and Adidas takes more inspiration from its popular Yeezy line in this week's collection of drops.
The pairs start arriving on Tuesday when the "Bio Beige" Air Jordan III JTH inspired by Justin Timberlake's album Man of the Woods hits select retailers. Releases continue on Thursday with the arrival of Supreme's Nike collab for Fall/Winter 2018 on the SB Gato, and the debut of the tweaked Zoom Fly SP Fast. On Friday, Adidas drops three tonal colorways of the Continental 80. The most notable is the "Semi Frozen Yellow" pair that pulls its bright shade from the limited Yeezy Boost 350 V2 release that hit stores earlier this year.
Saturday houses the week's remaining releases including Neighborhood's latest project with Adidas. Nike is delivering a new colorway of the Air Max 90/1 for the ladies, "Black Multi" Kobe A.D. NXT 360 and Kobe A.D., "Fresno St." PG 2.5 inspired by the star player's alma mater, and "Georgetown" Air More Uptempo. Jordan Brand wraps up the weekend with the arrival of two Air Jordan Is—a "Guava Ice" pair with exaggerated branding and Nigel Sylvester's highly-anticipated collaboration.

Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan I
Price: $180

Sylvester's take on the Air Jordan I gives the pair a cream upper, black nylon tongue, black inner lining, red outsole, and 3M medial Swoosh. The unique aspects of this pair are the addition of a mini Swoosh on the lateral toe and pre-distressed markings on various spots of the upper to simulate gradual wear-and-tear from frequent use.
Adding to the overall storytelling of this particular collaboration, a special Jordan Biking Company BMX bike was designed as well.
