What You Need to Know: After a minor pushback, the latest colorway of the Air Jordan 4 is set to arrive. This pair features a rugged, all-black canvas upper. The execution of this GR colorway can’t help but be compared to the much more expensive Carhartt x Eminem 4s that surfaced back in 2015 and still can fetch five figures on the resell market.

What You Need to Know: This women’s colorway of the Air Jordan 3 puts a new twist on a classic. The pair mimics the OG “Black Cement” color scheme, but replaces the grey leather used on the tongue, eyestay, and collar with shiny gold leather.

What You Need to Know: The latest “Color of the Month” Air Force 1 sports baby pink detailing on the Swoosh, midsole branding, tongue and heel tabs, and insoles. The “Color of the Month” designation refers to a series of custom colorways that were ordered by Baltimore shop owners back in the ’80s. A new color scheme would release each month. The program helped the Air Force 1 maintain its cultural relevancy and grow into the icon we know it as today.

What You Need to Know: Adidas is providing customers with another chance to cop the fan-favorite “Towelie” Campus 80s at retail. Originally a 420 release, the pair is inspired by the talking stoner towel character from South Park, Towelie. The pair resembles the character with a purple terry cloth upper and his eyes on the tongue, which turn red when exposed to heat. The inner tongues each feature a hidden stash pocket to store any special items of your choosing. “You wanna get high?”

What You Need to Know: A new take on the Yeezy 700 MNVN is hitting stores later this week. The pair is largely the same as its predecessors with its nylon upper and giant metallic “700” branding, and inner neoprene bootie. However, this version has eliminated the lacing system in favor of a laceless slip-on design.

What You Need to Know: After Union Los Angeles’ homage to the “Argon” Dunk Low earlier this year with its “Passport” pack, Nike is finally giving the original colorway the retro treatment. Once a Japan exclusive and coveted pair among collectors for its regional nature, the pair sports a two-toned blue leather upper with white accents on the Swoosh, heel tab, laces, and midsole.

What You Need to Know: A new colorway of the Air Jordan 3 perfect for the fall is scheduled to hit stores on Friday morning. The pair is dressed in multiple tones of brown suede and nubuck. Other details include embroidered grey panels in place of the usual elephant print, a cream back tab, subtle purple and yellow details throughout, and a fleece liner to keep warm. The color palette is strikingly similar to the iconic “Viotech” Air Max 1. It’s a solid consolation until Nike finally decides to pull the trigger and retro that Atmos collab from 2003.
