Lately, it seems like every Saturday brings another massive sneaker release, and this weekend is no different.
First up is Drake's "OVO" Jordan X in white. There's been a lot of confusion surrounding this release, but trust that we've got everything you need to know, just scroll down.
The biggest Flyknit drop of the year touches down in the form of the "Rainbow" a.k.a. "Multicolor 2.0" colorway. Flyknit heads already know the deal here, but newcomers should expect Jordan-like levels of hype.
Nike also has new installment of the Kobe's "Mambacurial" theme, another "Cork" LeBron, and Lunar Force 1s just for the Patriots in store for this weekend.
Elsewhere, Sneakersnstuff collabs with adidas Originals yet again, Bait cooks up another Brooks retro, and WTAPS gets its hands on three Vans silhouettes. Hit the jump for these and more in A Complete Guide to This Weekend's Sneaker Releases.
