How do you feel about iconic Nikes? How about Jordans? Pro? Yes? Well, you’re in luck this week. Aside from easy-to-grab options like the Blazer Mid, there’s an array of very good, very classic drops from the jumpman and the swoosh, including a blue Air Max 90 and a green Jordan 1. Not so big on that kinda thing? Looking for something with a futuristic bent, or maybe just a standout with loads of pattern and texture? Well, we’ve also got a couple of designer releases on the list this week, and they should scratch that itch. There’s more, of course. You’ll just have to keep reading to find out what it is.

Nike Blazer Mid ‘Light Patina’
SHOP $100, nike.com
While the vintage-y version of the Blazer has enjoyed a resurgence recently, the more buttoned-up style is still a mainstay. And when it’s done up in simple white with hits of vachetta leather that’ll darken over time, forming (you guessed it!) a unique patina, it’s hard to say no.
Release: 2/24
Nike Air Max 90 ‘Hyper Turquoise’
SHOP $120, nike.com
It’s the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 90, and the colorways just keep coming. This week, it’s Hyper Turquoise—which covers the heel counter, mudguard, and a few other panels—alongside shades of gray, black, and white. It’s a solid combo, and an easy pick-up if you’re an AM90 fan (we sure are).
Release: 2/28
Adidas Superstan
SHOP $80, adidas.com
It’s a Stan Smith and a Superstar! So, you know…it’s a gimmick. But we’re talking about two super-versatile, truly iconic Adidas silhouettes here, so, you know…it kinda works.
Release: 2/28
Air Jordan 1 ‘Pine Green’
SHOP $170, nike.com
The latest Jordan 1 to utilize the Breds’ color-blocking drops this weekend. The Pine Green 1s use tumbled leather throughout the uppers, and feature a hit of red on the tongue for a little pop. Interestingly, the wing logo and tongue tag don’t get the OG treatment, instead done up in pieces of leather for a premium feel (that’s sure to upset some purists). However you feel about the small tweaks, these are any easy cop for any Jordan 1 lover.
Release: 2/29
Nike x Travis Scott SB Dunk Low ‘Cactus Jack’
$150, select Nike retailers
The ad campaign for the shoe was way better than the shoe itself—but since it’s a collab with Travis Scott, the resellers will be all over it anyways. The SB Dunks feature blue and beige bandana and plaid patterns that wear down as you skate to reveal elephant print.
Release: 2/29
Puma Clyde Hardwood ‘Retro Fantasy’
SHOP $120, puma.com
Puma has been making big moves on the court by signing young stars and even bringing on rappers like J. Cole. Looks like the brand is also exploring how to bring very good hoop shoes off the court, with this pair inspired by Walt «Clyde» Frazier’s signature colorful style.
Release: 2/29
Dolce & Gabbana NS1
SHOP $695, dolcegabbana.com
Sometimes, the regular dose of limited-edition kicks from one of the sneaker giants just ain’t what the doctor ordered. On those occasions, it’s a good idea to take a look at what the capital «F» fashion brands are serving up. This sculptural slip-on from D&G might be what you’re missing.
Valentino Rock Runner Plus
SHOP $845, valentino.com
Valentino’s Rock Runner isn’t the kind of shoe that drops and then sells out seconds or minutes later, but it has entered the rotation of many a guy who cops those kinds of sneakers but also appreciates something from a true fashion brand. The new Rock Runner Plus—a little beefier, with all the same design language—is poised to join its older brother in the mix.
