Following up a long list of releases last week's NBA-All Star events, this weekend is a little bit slower. Still, there are some major releases going down. Probably the most anticipated and definitely the hardest sneaker to obtain will be the "Zebra" Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2. A very limited number of pairs will be available exclusively through Adidas. For those that will strike out on Yeezys, The Three Stripes is also offering the White Mountaineering x Adidas Superstar Slip-On and a restock on three monochromatic NMDs.
Nike is bringing back the classic 2002 "Reese Forbes Denim" SB Dunk in high top form to celebrate 15 years of SB Dunks and Riccardo Tisci's NikeLab Dunk Chukka from New York Fashion Week will see a wider release. Paul George is debuting his first signature sneaker, the Nike PG 1, with a "Shining" colorway. Other drops from the Swoosh consist of the "Palest Purple" Air Force 1 Upstep Lows for women, "No Parking" Flyknit Racers and the Nike Air Uptempo "All-Star" Pack.
Jordan Brand is bringing back and original Air Jordan XII colorway on a low-top silhouette with the Air Jordan XII Low "Playoff" and a new "Alternate" colorway on the Air Jordan VIII.
