Strangelove x Nike SB Dunk Low
Oct 19

Sean Cliver’s Strangelove x Nike SB Dunk Low caused quite a stir when it first dropped back in February.

The outsole bares an illustration of a bursting heart by Cliver, completing the Valentine theme.

Off-White x Nike Rubber Dunk “University Gold”
Oct 19

Missed out on the Off-White x Nike Rubber Dunk “University Blue” that dropped on October 1? On October 19, Nike will be dropping the “University Gold” colorway of these Frankenstein Dunks. A cross between the P6000, Air Max 1 and Dunk, these kicks are loud, to say the least. Paired with a bright gold upper and black outsole, these sneakers will turn heads.

Air Fear of God 1 “Off Noir”
Oct 20

In April, Jerry Lorenzo released the referee friendly Air Fear of God 1 “Off Noir” in a triple black colorway. The “Off Noir” saw Jerry Lorenzo perfectly blending luxury styling and performance, creating a comfortable sneaker to rock on and off court.

Air Jordan 11 “Bred”
Oct 25

Among all the re-releases, one sneaker really stood out—the Air Jordan 11 “Bred”. These coveted kicks had a restock back in 2019, sporting an accurate recreation of the AJ11s Michael Jordan wore in his first game back from retirement. This includes an identical combination of black mesh, patent leather, white midsole and red translucent outsole.

Air Jordan 1 Hi 85
Oct 25

To round off the list is the Air Jordan 1 Hi 85, Nike’s closest recreation to the original Air Jordan 1 released in 1989. Beyond paneling, shape, construction and materials used to make the sneaker, Nike also replicated the hangtag. Yes, the iconic hangtag of MJ mid-flight in front of the Chicago skyline. Just like before, these sneakers will come with a dust bag that is numbered, upping the exclusivity of the sneaker. Only 23,000 pairs of these kicks have ever been made.
