Get your scroll on to preview 10 of the most popular sneakers releasing in the coming weeks.
Air Jordan 4 "FIBA"
Release Date: September 7
Retail Price: $190
The FIBA Air Jordan 4s come equipped with a red, tumbled leather upper with obsidian detailing appearing on the mudguard and inner lining, as well as the lacing system.
Additional details include gold Jumpman logos on the heel, a tag that reads "For The Love Of The Game" on the inside of the tongue, and symbols from various flags in place of the traditional mesh portions of the AJ4.
Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2 "Inertia"
Release Date: September 7
Retail Price: $300
The "Inertia" Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2, constructed of premium leather, mesh and suede, mimics the Yeezy Boost 700 "Inertia" that debuted in March, featuring varying shades of blueish grey with coral-colored dashes appearing on the midsole.
Additionally, the 700 V2 comes equipped with reflective detailing throughout the layered upper, as well as reflective laces.
Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 "Magnet"
Release Date: September 4
Retail Price: $300
Kanye West and Adidas have multiple Yeezys dropping this month, including the highly anticipated "Magnet" Yeezy Boost 700.
The kicks look very similar to the OG "Wave Runner" Yeezy Boost 700 with shades of grey and black combining on the upper. The Magnet Yeezys also features a white Boost midsole with splashes of orange and a timeless gum outsole beneath it all.
Sacai x Nike LDWaffle
Release Date: September 12
Retail Price: $160
Nike and Japanese fashion label Sacai have more sneaker and apparel collabs in the pipeline, including a trio of Sacai x Nike LDWaffle colorways, as well as two more Sacai x Nike Blazer Mids (releasing September 19).
Just like the first run of Sacai x Nike LDWaffles and Blazers, the upcoming collabs represent a combination of two iconic Nike sneakers, fused together for a hybrid, double-themed design. For instance, the Sacai x Nike LDWaffle marries the Waffle Daybreak and LDV. The kicks come equipped with double tongues, shoelaces and swooshes with a co-branded Nike x Sacai logo on the heel tab.
Undefeated x Nike Kobe 4 Protro "Black Mamba"
Release Date: September 13
Retail Price: $180
Undefeated and Nike have a fifth Kobe 4 Protro colorway in the works, coming on the heels of the colorful Kobe 4 collabs that recently released in celebration of Mamba Day.
The newest colorway, appropriately dubbed "Black Mamba" features a slick black, patent leather construction equipped with an iridescent finish reminiscent of the venomous snake's scales.
Per Nike:
"Agile and aggressive are two descriptors that perfectly describe both Kobe and the black mamba snake. It’s why the nickname is such an apt fit for Kobe. Adding to Kobe’s performance-driven “Protro” series, the Kobe IV returns with improvements to enhance comfort and outfitted in an Undefeated collaborative ‘Black Mamba’ colorway, which honors his nickname with an iridescent finish that represents the scales of the venomous snake."
Air Jordan 3 "Knicks"
Release Date: September 14
Retail Price: $190
Jordan Brand will be releasing an all-new Air Jordan 3 in September, featuring the colors of one of Michael Jordan's favorite franchises to torment - the New York Knicks.
As it turns out, there's more to the Air Jordan 3 then the white tumbled leather with supporting orange and blue accents. The kicks also come equipped with "04.08.88” behind the tongue, referencing the date that MJ scored 47 points in a win over the Knicks while he was dealing with a stomach virus.
Of course, that stomach virus game isn't nearly as legendary as the "Flu Game," but nobody's complaining about this new Air Jordan 3 colorway.
Travis Scott x Air Jordan 6
Release Date: September 14
Retail Price: $250
Travis Scott first broke out his Air Jordan 6 collab during his performance at Super Bowl LIII, but they're finally slated to drop on September 14.
The olive Cactus Jack 6s come equipped with a button enclosed stash pocket on the ankle collar, along with red accents throughout, including the "Nike Air" and Cactus Jack branding on the heel.
Air Jordan 4 "Mushroom"
Release Date: September 19
Retail Price: $190
Jordan Brand's year-long celebration honoring the 30th anniversary of the iconic Air Jordan 4 silhouette will include an all-new "Mushroom" colorway, set to release in women's sizes. In other words, up to a men's 9.5.
The Mushroom 4s feature a tan leather upper accompanied by black detailing on the mudguard, laces, lacing system, and heel tab. Additional details include a sail midsole and iridescent Jumpman logos on the tongue and heel.
Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Cloud"
Release Date: September 19 (Reflective), September 21 (Non-reflective)
Retail Price: $250, $220
There are two Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 colorways on tap for September, but this "Cloud" iteration reigns supreme over the "Citrin" version in my estimation. Click here fore details on the latter.
The Cloud Yeezys are built on a clean, light blue tinted primeknit upper along with a milky white midsole covering the beloved boost cushioning. The more limited reflective version is expected to launch on September 19, followed by the non-reflective pair on September 21.
Air Jordan 12 "Game Royal"
Release Date: September 21
Retail Price: $190
Think "Flu Game" Air Jordan 12, but with the always popular "Game Royal" hue replacing the red overlays, as well as the detailing on the tongue and heel.
