Before we dive into the 10 most important sneaker drops of the week, let’s look back at which headlines caught our eye last week.
A third WORKSOUT x Nike Air Max 95 popped up, indicating that the duo has more on the way for this year. Another partnership that is being reprised soon is Cav Empt x Nike, with the former teasing three takes on the Air Max Dn8 in its Fall/Winter 2025 lookbook. The Swoosh also has a project with Bronx Girls Skate on the way, utilizing the SB Dunk Low as the duo’s canvas. For Jordan Brand, an official look at Zion Williamson’s Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Voodoo Alternate” excited sneakerheads while an Air Jordan 3 “EYBL” preview highlights a pair that will likely elude collectors for eons.
adidas made noise with a complete set of images highlighting its new Jellyfish sneaker, made in collaboration with Pharrell. It also had another CLOT-designed Superstar pop up, introducing a new “Patchwork” colorway. New Balance’s latest campaign comes from The Whitaker Group, which has assembled takes on the MADE in USA 990v4 and 998 sneakers. Meanwhile, JJJJound and Salomon officially announced their XT-6 project. Krispy Kreme and Crocs complete the news round-up with their glazed Classic Clog that drops next week.

From there, white detailing and a gum sole complete the fall-ready composition.

Air Jordan 1 High OG “Self-Expression”
Release Date: July 31
Release Price: $185 USD
Where to Buy: SNKRS
Why You Should Cop: While Jordan Brand stepped into the future with the Air Jordan 40 this month, it continues to pay homage to the past as well. The Air Jordan 1, celebrating the completion of its fourth decade on the market, has been the subject of countless launches this year. Adding to its celebration of the anniversary is a new “Self-Expression” theme that graces the OG high-top shape. Its black upper is unassuming at first sight, however, with wear it reveals a myriad of bright colors that rest beneath the initial layer of paint. This feature, which we previously saw the model utilize with Lance Mountain’s beloved two-pack from 2014, offers ample room for customization.

Limited to just 72 pairs, the rare shoe has held a special place in sneaker history since then, fetching tens of thousands of dollars per pair on the secondhand market. 20 years later, the shoe is officially back. Its military green and black go back and forth while orange hits the removable tongue patch’s Jumpman logo and the Air unit. One key change has been made for the retail pairs this time, the Jumpman branding found on the heel of the 2005 pair has been swapped for a Nike Air hit.
