Although yesterday's Nike Mag announcement didn't result in the release some had some had hoped for, this weekend is still packed with a ton of noteworthy drops you should know about.
Jordan Brand will drop off two sneakers: the "Three Peat" Air Jordan VIII Retros and a collaboration with Chicago artist Hebru Brantley on the Melo M11 sneaker.
It's a huge weekend for Nike Basketball and Nike Sportswear, as the former will launch an the much-anticipated "Multicolor" Kobe X Elite Low iD. On the Sportswear side, there's a Halloween-themed Blazer Mid, a "Bo Knows" Air Trainer SC, and more.
Elsewhere, collabs take center stage thanks to Ronnie Fieg's "Primo" Diadora RF.7000s and Slam Jam's "Yvan" V.7000s. Singapore's Limited Edt will get a crack at the ASICS Gel-Lyte III, while Canada's Livestock delivers a fall-ready Reebok Ventilator.
