As December nears, brands are continuing to embrace the holiday season by loading each week with exciting new releases. This time around, Nike, Dr. Martens and Jordan Brand are drumming up excitement with ten upcoming sneaker drops that you should have your eyes on. However, before we let you know which pairs to look out for, let’s look back at what footwear news stood out this past week.
On the feature side of things we looked closer at Jordan Brand’s (somewhat) new “Reimagined” series, where it takes iconic looks and puts a twist on them. We discuss the line’s history thus far — noting the highlights and lowlights — and touch on what makes it special.
As for the standard slate of news, Nike teamed up with Zellerfeld to introduce the 3D-printed Air Max 1000 sneaker, later displaying it in several different colorways. Speaking of new Air Max models, the upcoming Air Max DN8 appeared in three new looks, ranging from “British Tan” to “Team Red” and Gray/Red. It also teamed up with Sha’Carri Richardson to announce the return of the Air Superfly. Elsewhere, Corteiz dropped its “Light Bone” take on the Air Trainer Huarache via a special event and we got a better look at the all-black Nike Dunk Low “What The Duck.” Jordan Brand found itself in the news with a glance at the rumored Air Jordan 4 “Seafoam” colorway, as well as an official preview of the new women’s-exclusive Air Jordan 4 NET silhouette.
Elsewhere in the sneaker space, Supreme and Timberland teamed up once again, presenting the Field Boot in three different colorways that remain available now. GANNIand New Balance also reunited, taking on the Fresh Foam Trainer in looks of black/red and silver/pink. Nicole McLaughlin’s PUMA Suede, after almost a year since being first spotted, made headlines once again with a closer look at the design. Rounding out the week, On’s earnings were reported to have surged to $2.6 billion USD in 2024, a 32% increase from last year.
