VERDY's Nike SB "VISTY" Collaboration Enlivens This Week's Best Footwear Drops

As a seasoned sneaker enthusiast with over two decades of footwear fascination under my belt, I must say that this week’s releases have truly piqued my interest!

As autumn approaches and we start to prepare our closets for cooler temperatures, the sneaker world is gearing up for another week of highly anticipated releases to keep your collection fresh. This time, Nike, New Balance, adidas, Timberland, and Jordan Brand have all unveiled noteworthy drops that are worth considering. But before we delve into the new Nike Air Max Sunder release, let’s reflect on the major news stories from the past week.

In our latest discussion, we had the pleasure of talking with sneaker enthusiast Bimma Williams about his journey within the industry, his experiences working at different footwear companies, and the current landscape of collaborations. Additionally, we sat down with Odell Beckham Jr. and The Surgeon to talk about the special bond they’ve forged through creating custom cleats for each NFL game that OBJ plays in.

In terms of our usual news updates, Fat Joe recently shared on Instagram pictures of an Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Arabic” pair. Meanwhile, L’Art de L’Automobile confirmed that their two-design Nike Air Force 1 Low project is exclusive for F&F (Family and Friends). This month, Nike will release Ja Morant’s second signature shoe, the Nike Ja 2, and they have unveiled all images of its debut “Induction” colorway. Additionally, we got a sneak peek at the “Year of the Mamba” colorway of the Nike Kobe 5 Protro, which is expected to be released next year.

Talk turned positive and negative about Jordan Brand as it was announced that certain collaborations such as the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Pale Vanilla,” Air Jordan 5 “Black Cat,” and others were allegedly scrapped. However, there’s some exciting news on the horizon: sneak peeks of the “Rare Air” colorways for both the Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 4 have surfaced, generating a lot of buzz.

In other parts of the fashion world, A$AP Rocky’s collaboration with PUMA is thriving as they revealed their latest Inhale OG partnership. Simultaneously, we got a comprehensive look at the Doublet x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 20 before its November release date.
