As a sneaker enthusiast with over two decades of footwear-related memories etched into my mind, I must say that this week’s sneaker releases are nothing short of a nostalgia trip!

As summer winds down, American football enthusiasts can anticipate a host of exciting events as the NFL kicks off its 2024-25 season. In contrast, fashion aficionados recently experienced an eventful New York Fashion Week, which concludes tomorrow. In terms of footwear, a number of highly anticipated sneaker releases are on the horizon, with contributions from brands such as Crocs, Nike, ASICS, Jordan Brand, Clarks Originals, and adidas. Here’s a roundup of ten must-see sneakers set to drop in the coming week. Let’s take a quick look back at last week’s top news stories first.

We had a chat with Kenneth Anand and Jared Goldstein from Sneaker Law about their latest publication, “Sneaker Law V2.” This book delves into various aspects of the sneaker industry, focusing particularly on its legal side, as well as providing guidance for those looking to get involved professionally. Our discussion with them covers changes since the first release, what readers can anticipate, and additional topics.

The Swoosh made an exciting announcement as it unveiled LeBron James’ new Nike LeBron TR1, his first training shoe. Nike also had a “Racer Blue” colorway of its new trail-oriented Zoom Vomero 5 Roam surface while two new Kobe Bryant-themed designs hit the net too — a Nike Kobe 6 Protro “All-Star 2.0” and a Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low.

Regarding Jordan Brand, we’ve had a closer look at two upcoming shoe models: the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” and the Air Jordan 5 “Black Metallic Reimagined” for next year. The latest whispers about the Jumpman team suggest another denim-themed Air Jordan 4 might be released in 2025.
