Nike is dropping their next 2.0 AJ1, the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Game Royal”.

Right next to this, Adidas is dropping the 424 x Adidas Pro Model, a modern take on the retro court sneaker.

This week, Nike is finally dropping the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Game Royal” – a 2.0 rendition of the classic “Royal” colorway. The updated version sees an interesting shift in the color blocking, one that most fans seem to love.

Adidas matches up to it with the 424 x Adidas Pro Model, a collaboration between the three stripes and the Los Angeles streetwear store. A super clean, monochrome sneaker that’s an easy cop. New Balance steps into the ring with the 327, a highly anticipated runner that has high fashion design elements. Here are the sneakers dropping this week.

New Balance 327
May 8

First released as a collaboration with Casablanca, the New Balance 327 has been on most sneakerheads’ radar. The sneaker has everything you could want – ’70s runner vibes, high fashion proportions and aesthetic mixed with luxurious fabrics. Of the three variants, the classic New Balance grey colorway is the one to grab. The simple mix of grey panels really accentuates the unique shape and construction of the sneaker.

424 x Adidas Pro Model
May 8

424 started out as a label that offers a mix of high fashion brands and logo focused streetwear apparel. This eclectic offering is reflected in the 424 x Adidas Pro Model. Originally designed as a basketball sneaker, the 424 x Adidas Pro Model caters to a streetwear audience but with refinements generally seen on a luxury sneaker. Some of the updates include a very smooth chunky outsole, clean silhouette and plush leather upper. The simple black and white colorway keeps the Pro Model versatile and understated – making it an easy pickup.
