It will also resume its collaboration with Hiroshi Fujiwara's fragment design for a Wimbledon-themed Air Trainer 1 pack and drop the old-meets-new flavored Penny Pack featuring the "Sharpie" Air Foamposite One.
Jordan Brand will hit 'heads with the Air Jordan IV Retro Low "Infrared," which lets the sparks fly with hits of the signature color.
Elsewhere, adidas hooks up with Marvel for a collection of retro basketball kicks inspired by the Avengers.
