The releases start on Thursday with the latest trio of Sacai x Nike LDWaffles and the "Black Mamba" Undefeated x Nike Kobe IV Protro. Nike debuts its new auto-lacing silhouette, the Adapt Huarache, and also drops off three new colorways of John Elliott's LeBron Icon the following day. Pharrell's massive "Now Is Her Time" collection with Adidas arrives on the same day. Releases conclude this Saturday with the "Knicks" Air Jordan III inspired by one of Michael Jordan's most stored rivals.

Undefeated x Nike Kobe IV Protro 'Black Mamba'
Nike Adapt Huarache
Price: $350
When: Friday, Sept. 13 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Nike's latest auto-lacing silhouette, the Adapt Huarache, debuts this Friday in white and yellow colorways. While the pair doesn't actually resemble the OG Huarache too much, it does utilize a sock-like upper similar to the one that the 1991 silhouette is known for. The main feature is the power lacing system to can be adjusted to fits for various activities via a dedicated app similar to the Adapt BB. Other details include mini Swooshes on each lateral toe area, and plastic overlays on the toe, side panel, and wrapping the heel for a bit more structure.
John Elliott x Nike LeBron Icon Collection
Price: $250
When: Friday, Sept. 13 at 10 a.m.

What You Need to Know: Three more colorways of John Elliott's original Nike LeBron Icon release on Friday. The cleanest of the three is the all-white "Summit White" version. A "Parachute Beige" colorway is also in the mix, but the highlight of the bunch has to be the bright "Tulip Pink" option. Each features details like a semi-translucent upper, leather ankle collar, heel pull tab, and LeBron 8 midsole.
