Footwear drops: Nike and Adidas get experimental while New Balance delves into its archives

The premium-fitted CDG Air Max 95 might just snag the top spot in this week’s roundup.

But the full list of footwear drops is nothing short of exciting with Adidas, New Balance, and Jordan Brand also lining up fire releases.

This week, classic sneakers get the spotlight featuring none other than the CDG Air Max 95 – a plush avant-garde spin on one of Nike’s enduring silhouettes. While Nike threatens to dominate the release calendar with yet another signature sneaker – the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat” – other prominent brands aren’t letting up. Adidas for one, does the unthinkable with the hybrid Superstan OG which combines two of its signature silhouettes. Plus, we’re also looking at Kanye’s latest Yeezy 350 V2 “Flax” dropping as well. New Balance, on the other hand, readies the return of the 1300JP model, five years since its last release. Too hot to handle? Put some gloves on and check out the list below of this week’s hottest drops.

CDG Air Max 95
February 21 

CDG air max 95 singapore release

Comme Des Garçons and Nike continue their long-standing partnership with the release of the Air Max 95 pack in three different colorways. The Japanese designer label cleverly utilizes the shoe’s signature side panels by putting in foam and replacing the usual material with a frayed fabric, giving the Air Max 95 a more distressed and deconstructed look and feel. The sneaker comes in three different colorways – an all-white pair, an all-black pair, and a grey gradient pair that fits right in the middle of the pack. Take your pick and make sure you cop this innovative sneaker.

Adidas Superstan OG
February 22 Adidas Superstan OG CDG air max 95 Singapore release

 What happens when you mix two of Adidas’ most iconic sneakers together? You get the Superstan – a shoe that merges design elements of the Superstar and Stan Smith. The Stan Smith is referenced for the Superstan’s uppers, with its three-stripe perforations on the side of the shoe and green branding on the heel and tongue. Similarities to the Superstar can be seen in the shoe’s classic shell toe box and chunky rubber sole. Who knew combining two different sneakers would look this good?

Air Jordan 4 Black Cat CDG Air Max 95 Singapore release

This week marks the return of the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat”, which was first released in 2006 and never re-released until now. Additionally, this drop serves as a second chance to cop the 2020 version of the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat” after its initial release back in February. The shoe serves as a precise reproduction of the original 2006 version, replicating details such as high-quality nubuck on the uppers and a Jumpman logo with a jewel-like finish on the back of the shoe. Do not miss this rare chance to cop this stealthy pair of sneakers for your daily sneaker rotation.
