The Top Sneaker Drops You Need to Know This Week
This week’s most anticipated sneaker releases
New Balance
Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 v2 “Inertia”
Adidas
Release Date: September 7
Price: $300
2019 has been both the most accessible and visible year for the Adidas Yeezy Boost. After adidas re-released all pairs that had previously released at retail earlier this summer, they’re now back to new colorways with this weekend’s Yeezy Boost 700 v2 “Inertia.” Largely a revised iteration of the v1 “Inertia” that featured similar blue and orange accents, this enhanced sequel will be one of the biggest drops in a busy sneaker weekend.

Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low
Nike
Release Date: September 5 (Japan Only - September 7, 2019)
Price: $110
SB Dunks are back and hot again. Now, for those in the skate community, that statement may be a bit tone-deaf. However, for sneaker culture at large, there was a bit of a hiatus for the classic skateboarding low before industry giants like Virgil Abloh and Supreme made them coveted again by the masses. The latter—Supreme—drops its unique Jewel Swoosh pairs this Thursday to kick off its highly anticipated Fall/Winter 2019 collection.

YCMC x New Balance 990v5 “Loyalty”
New Balance
Release Date: September 6
Price: $200
Limited to just 400 pairs globally, YCMC’s collaborative New Balance 990v5 pays tribute to a region that’s been loyal to the 990 series since day one. The DMV (DC, Maryland and Virginia) rocks the New Balance staple silhouette relentlessly. Therefore, local DMV retailer YCMC is releasing this “Loyalty” pair in honor of its faithful patrons. Bursting with premium grey pigskin suede and breathable red mesh, this extremely limited drop is an underrated release this weekend.

Nike Air Max 720 OBJ “Young King of the People”
Nike
Release Date: September 8, 2019
Price: $200
It’s not only a new season for superstar wideout Odell Beckham Jr, but it’s also a fresh start. Suiting up with the Cleveland Browns after his brilliant yet tumultuous tenure with the New York Giants ended after last season, all eyes will be on OBJ for his Browns kickoff against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday, September 8. Well, maybe not all eyes. Some will be squarely placed on Nike SNKRS at 1 pm EST when his Nike Air Max 720 OBJ drops at kickoff. After all, he is the king of the young. The youth should have his kicks.

Air Jordan 10 “Camo”
Jordan Brand
Release Date: September 5, 2019
Price: $190
The Air Jordan 10 is a seminal sneaker for many reasons. It was released in 1995, when Michael Jordan returned to the NBA following his first retirement. Jordan ran off his second three-peat just after the sneaker’s release, and since then, it’s become a cultural relic like many other Air Jordans. Its latest iteration is an unconventional “Duck Camo” style constructed in durable canvas. Black leather trim rounds the lace collar while the signature Jumpman logo is placed on the heel. This pair will be a sleeper this weekend. So, don’t sleep.
