Iconic sneakers take the spotlight this week with the likes of Air Jordan, Air Force 1, Nike SB Blazer Mid, Reebok’s Instapump Fury and Kanye’s Yeezy 500 all returning in freshly updated renditions. The G-Dragon x Air Force 1, for one, has generated the most noise from the build-up to this week’s releases. But the expansive list of footwear drops lined up deserves a shout as well. Soulland’s collaboration with Nike SB is among those to look out for, with uppers draped almost entirely in faux snakeskin. Read on for the full roundup of sneakers launching from November 22 to 23.
Soulland x Nike SB Blazer Mid
November 22
Danish label Soulland and Nike SB come together to launch part 0.3 of the FRI.Day series. The canvas of choice this time? The Blazer Mid. And they’ve taken it to epic proportions, dressing the classic sneaker in faux snakeskin. The detailing can’t be understated as well, with various versions of the Swoosh making its way onto the sneaker, along with red accents marking the co-branding on the tongue label and underfoot. These may be exclusive to Japan and Europe, but if you’re living outside the location, you might want to try your luck via raffle on END Launches. The sneaker will retail at S$175.

Reebok x Adidas Instapump Fury Boost
November 22
No one could’ve dreamed up this collaboration. Not even the OG fans of Reebok’s iconic Instapump silhouette and the legions of Boost-wearing sneakerheads. But the two sportswear giants have made the most of their corporate ties by fusing each other’s ground-breaking technology all in one shoe. The Instapump Fury presented the perfect match with its disjointed midsoles, and the co-branding displayed via the midfoot straps and heels is enough indication of the unprecedented collaboration. You’ll definitely want this pair in your rotation – available in the OG citrin yellow Reebok Instapump colorway and the Ultraboost’s OG purple on black colorway. For just S$249, you’ll have a piece of sneaker history in your rotation.

Facetasm x Air Jordan 1 Mid Fearless
November 22
Many of us are guilty of passing up on the Air Jordan Mids for the revered high-top iterations. But when Nike announced the Jordan “Fearless” collection in October, this teal-colored mid-top in collaboration Japanese label Facetasm definitely stood out. While it’s not dressed in the familiar OG colorways or splashed with vibrant tones, the sneaker’s enchanting retro outlook featuring crinkled leather uppers and minimal co-branding gave us enough reason to keep tabs on its impending release. And you won’t have to wait any longer as the sneaker will launch this Friday, November 22, retailing at S$209.
