A rundown of the top sneakers releasing this month.
The month of February probably did some damage on a lot of sneakerheads' bank accounts. Between Valentine's Day and all of the NBA All Star sneaker releases there were plenty of ways to blow your money.
But if you're still in the market for a new pair of kicks (or two, or more), March has plenty to offer. Among the most popular sneakers set to drop in the next few weeks are a couple of Yeezys, several all-new Air Jordans, and the highly anticipated Game of Thrones x Adidas UltraBoost collection.
Scroll down for a preview of the Top 10 sneakers on tap to release in March.
Nike kicks off the month of March with a Dallas inspired Air Max 97, releasing as part of Nike's ongoing "City Pride" collection.
Equipped with a black, bright crimson and white color scheme, the "Dallas" Air Max 97 is highlighted by a wavy "Rage Green" stripe that wraps around the iconic silhouette. Rage Green also owns the outsole, while the tongues feature shimmering iridescent detailing and "Triple D" logos. Lastly, the heel tabs sport the Dallas area codes.
2019 marks the 30th anniversary of the iconic Air Jordan 4 silhouette which means Jordan Brand will be releasing a ton of classic and all-new colorways throughout the year.
Among the Air Jordan 4s on tap is a "Hot Lava" (aka "Light Crimson") colorway, which will be arriving this Saturday, March 2. The kicks will reportedly be available in sizes for the whole family, with men's sizes retailing for $190.
The official color code is listed as: "White/Black-Light Crimson-Pale Citron."
LeBron James broke out two different LeBron 16 during the NBA's All Star festivities in Charlotte, including the "Safari" LeBron 16 Low which hits retailers this Saturday.
The kicks, inspired by the iconic Atmos x Nike Air Max 1, feature a golden suede mixed with the familiar battleknit upper, grey "Safari" print detailing and a gum outsole beneath it all. Overall, the Nike LeBron 16 Low silhouette isn't all that different from the LeBron 16, but one main alteration is the addition of a black zipper that runs the length of the tongue.
The first Yeezy release of March will be the "Inertia" Yeezy Boost 700, featuring the familiar combination of premium leather, mesh and suede.
According to Adidas, the upper is dressed in varying shades of blue with the only splash of coloring appearing in the form of two coral-colored dashes on the full-length drop in Boost midsole. A cream-colored outsole, reflective heel and Three Stripes complete the look.
Adidas Originals is celebrating the late 1980s ZX Series as part of their SS19 campaign, which includes special editions of the ZX 4000 4D and the ZX 500 RM models.
Per Adidas:
With the midsole being produced in adidas’ almost entirely automated factory in Ansbach, Germany, the ZX40004D model is the product of the most automated shoe factory in the world, manufactured in an environment with virtually no heat, light, or human manpower. The shoe’s black and grey color scale reflects this, utilizing colors from the cold temperature spectrum of the Kelvin scale, while material elements, such as Primeknit upper with nubuck overlays and the shoe’s unmissable 4D midsole unit, emphasize the shoe’s futuristic edge.

Among the many Air Jordans slated to arrive as we prepare for the warmer months ahead is the "Phantom" Air Jordan 1.
The kicks are built on a "Sail/Black-Phantom-University Red" color scheme, with university red stitching standing out against the sail colored upper. As seen in the newly unveiled images, university red also handles the ankle collar, while the black detailing appears on the tongue and wings logo.
In celebration of Game Of Thrones' eighth and final season, Adidas has plans to release six special edition UltraBoosts inspired by some of the series' most beloved characters.
The collection consists of House Lannister, House Stark, two House Targaryen colorways (black/multi-color and white), White Walkers and The Night's Watch.
Of course, each colorway is inspired by the House or group of characters it represents, and they all come with Game Of Thrones branded insoles. Additionally, each special edition sneaker includes a heel tab that features a familiar phrase such as "Winter Is Coming" (House Stark) or "Fire And Blood" (House Targaryen).

An all-new "Atmosphere Grey" Air Jordan 13 is set to hit retailers on March 23, as Nike and Jordan Brand usher in a fresh wave of Spring releases.
The execution on the upcoming Air Jordan 13 is simple enough: A white leather upper is accompanied by both dark and light greys, with black detailing appearing on the inner lining, outsole and Jumpman branding on the tongue.
Kanye West and Adidas have plans to launch multiple Yeezy Boost 350 V2s in the coming weeks, including this "Clay" Yeezy Boost 350 V2.
As seen in the latest batch of photos, the Clay Yeezys feature an earthy, clay primeknit upper along with a pinkish orange tint throughout the translucent Boost midsole.
Additional details include an orange heel tab and a translucent midfoot stripe that showcases even more of that colorful tint on the inside of the sneaker.
Jordan Brand will reportedly close out the month of March with yet another "Tinker" Air Jordan 3.
This time around, the Tinker 3s consist of a white, university red and neutral grey color scheme, with a red suede sandwiched between the white tumbled leather upper and midsole. Additionally, the kicks come equipped with removable Nike swooshes.
