Matt Varga We try as hard as possible not to be hyperbolic, but this really might be the most loaded slate we’ve seen all week. Truly, how many drops this year would be able to box the Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard,” a shoe many likely would’ve pinned as a top 5 Jordan release of 2025 just a year ago, out of featured territory?
Notwithstanding that’s exactly the case, as the two Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 colorways, two of the Air Max 1000, and the long-awaited adidas Jellyfish nearly threaten to box the 2015 retro out of top 5 for this week alone. That’s not to mentioned the Nike Kobe 3 Protro “Halo” or the SNKRS launch of the x Veja V15 high-top sneakers Weiß, more pairs that could’ve commanded star status in quieter weeks.
As you wade through that studded top Look, there’s still more to pay attention to; SR Studio re-upping their relationship with Vans, the debut of the Ja 3’s reveal “Price of Admission” edition, two new models from the UA Curry Brand team, and a fresh Salehe Bembury New Balance link-up are just some of the “honorable mention.”
