Once upon a time, long before the hype pervaded popular culture, the major sneaker brands would typically deliver one, maybe two coveted releases a month, with a heavy emphasis on storytelling. Nowadays, it’s commonplace to see these different labels ditch the ‘who, what, where, when and how,’ and instead drop multiple pairs of heat in just one weekend. A welcomed dilemma for most.
With that said, we continue our weekly roundup of the most sought after silhouettes for the week, hoping to make your ‘cop or drop’ decision as easy as possible. Check out the list below and chime in on the styles you’ll be picking up.
Release Date: October 30
Release Price: approximately $745 USD, available via END and select Balenciaga retailers
Bulk is back thanks to the Balenciaga Triple S Trainer. The pricy followup to the house’s Speed Trainer has already launched in a selection of colorways, including the now-available “Cream” version. The tonal-colored silhouette mixes the sports of basketball and track and field, while Balenciaga branding is placed on each lateral side in black. The sneaker steals the show with its layered sole unit hosting a 10mm arch.
Release Date: November 1
Release Price: $150 USD, available via select Nike Running retailers and Nike.com
Nike’s “Triple Black” family continues to grow with the addition of the Zoom Fly. Its lightweight mesh upper incorporates Flyknit within its lacing system, all the while resting atop a thick sole unit for ultimate support and cushioning. Nike’s Swoosh logo takes an asymmetrical approach as it’s seen on the lateral side of each toe area.
Release Date: November 2
Release Price: $100 USD, available via select Nike SB retailers and Nike SNKRS
Nike SB travels back in time to pay homage to the sport which inspired its Dunk High silhouette. Offered in colorway options of Navy/White or Red/White, each model includes patent leather underlays and tumbled leather overlays. Zoom Air is incorporated in each sole unit for elite cushioning and a quick response. For the finishing touch, you’ll find Nike’s SB logo placed on the lateral side of each heel.
Release Date: November 2
Release Price: $190 USD, available via select Nike retailers and Nike SNKRS
For the latest Air Vapormax, Nike adds a new “Crimson” iteration into the fold. Here, the model’s black base features speckles of gold and crimson, while the popular sole unit complements its upper. A bronze-colored Swoosh is placed on each lateral and medial side to contrast the aforementioned black upper.
Release Date: November 2
Release Price: $200 USD, available via select Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike SNKRS
Nike’s military-inspired Air Force 1 is back, and at a new height. Initially debuted during the Nike x NBA launch, the SF AF-1 High follows the model’s original and mid-cut iterations with thick rope laces wrapping around its ankle, where a large AF1 graphic is found. Tumbled leather and ballistic nylon return to carry on the military aesthetic.
Release Date: November 2
Release Price: N/A USD, available via select Nike retailers and Nike SNKRS
While many patiently await Virgil Abloh’s take, Nike’s Zoom Fly SP model is seeing a unique “NYC” iteration. Specially made for the New York City Marathon, you’ll find the model hosts a translucent one-piece upper with an overall theme of black and white throughout. “NYC” is placed on its heel as an ode to the marathon’s host city, while extra padding is placed around its ankle.
Release Date: November 3
Release Price: $150 USD, available via select Nike retailers and Nike SNKRS
Nike’s Flyknit Trainer continues its resurgence. Over the past few months, we’ve seen editions such as “Bright Citron,” “Cirrus Blue,” “Pale Grey,” “Sunset Tint” and a few others. This time around, the sneaker receives a ”Night Purple” makeover. Similar to the aforementioned colorways, its Flyknit upper is dipped in a dark purple hue, while its midsole returns in white. Black coats the Swoosh and portions of its Flyknit weaving to close out its design.
Release Date: November 4
Release Price: N/A USD, exclusively available at Complex Con in LA
Alongside Virgil Abloh‘s “The Ten” release, the Chicago native will also launch this DIY Air Force 1 Low. To celebrate the silhouette’s 35th anniversary, Abloh modifies the Swoosh with a metallic silver hue and exposed stitching. Unfortunately however, this one will be even more limited than his previous drops.
Release Date: November 4
Release Price: $150 USD, via SoleFly
Miami’s own SoleFly has joined forces with Jordan Brand once again. This time around, the boutique strays away from MJ’s signature line and chooses to dress up the Trunner LX High sneaker. Its “Lightning” theme generates memories of the Air Jordan 4 which boasted the same combination of black and yellow. On the collaborative sneaker you’ll find SoleFly’s “SF” logo precisely placed on its ankled fastener to keep branding to a minimum. Already cosigned by Quavo, it’s expected that this limited launch will fly off of the shelves once it drops.
Release Date: November 4
Release Price: $90-100 USD, available via Bodega’s store and online shop
California’s sunny streets serve as the inspiration for the upcoming collaboration between Bodega and Vans Vault. Dubbed the “Sub Rosa” Pack, you’ll find the Old Skool and Mid Skool models both incorporating red rose design prints. Each silhouette will be offered in black or white colorway choices that are housed in specially branded boxes with a calendar and rose included.
With that said, we continue our weekly roundup of the most sought after silhouettes for the week, hoping to make your ‘cop or drop’ decision as easy as possible. Check out the list below and chime in on the styles you’ll be picking up.
