NIGO and Nike Unite Across the Air Force 3 in This Week’s Best Footwear Drops

As a longtime sneaker enthusiast with memories of waiting in lines for hours to cop my favorite kicks, I find myself utterly captivated by this week’s releases. The Jordan Brand has always been a trailblazer in the sneaker world, and their latest offering – the Air Jordan 1 “Satin Shadow” – is no exception. With its sleek satin finish and classic color blocking, it perfectly encapsulates the essence of timeless style.

As October rolls around and we approach the last stretch of the year, it seems like every brand is ramping up for some thrilling new drops. This week alone, Nike, its Jordan Brand, and Converse divisions have got some highly anticipated releases lined up. But that’s not all! adidas and Reebok are also jumping into the action.

Regarding new releases, we spoke with Ja Morant and Jarrett Mann, head of design for Nike’s men’s basketball footwear team, ahead of the unveiling of the Nike Ja 2. In recent news, Tom Sachs and Nike have confirmed that they will collaborate once more, with the Mars Yard 3.0 expected to drop in 2025. Meanwhile, the .SWOOSH department shared a sneak peek at the Air Max 1 “Low Poly” on Instagram alongside Kai Cenat. On the grapevine, whispers of three Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Lows being readied for 2025 have been circulating. Lastly, we got a detailed look at the RIOT Skateshop-designed pair of SB Dunk Low shoes.

The release date for Jordan Brand’s Air Jordan 1 High OG “Black Toe Reimagined” has been pushed back to 2025, leaving sneaker enthusiasts disappointed. On a more positive note, Jayson Tatum and his team unveiled the Jordan Tatum 3 shoe, as well as their own collaboration on the Air Jordan 1 Low OG. Previews of the Air Jordan 11 Low “Year of the Snake” and Air Jordan 6 “Doernbecher” have surfaced online.

In other areas of the sneaker industry, Jaylen Brown unveiled his new performance label called “741,” set to release his first signature shoe towards the end of this year. Additionally, ASICS generated buzz with the fashion show debut of Cecilie Bahnsen’s GEL-TERRAIN color options and JJJJound’s sneak peek at its upcoming GT-2160 partnership.
