Don’t take it lightly when we say this – this could be the biggest release week we’ve had yet. Nike in particular is flooding the market with goodies, but brands across the industry are making sure you won’t be short of options as the holiday shopping season really gets going.

To start with Beaverton’s most notable offerings: They’re planning several spectacular collaborations; The Who Decides War Flight Court, Lil Yachty Air Force 1, Fragment Spiridon, Swarovski Air Max Plus, Kobe Air Force 1 and Wizard of Oz SB Dunk make their debut. With the switch to Jumpman, they’re tripling their weekly shipments, with the Jordan 12 “Phantom,” Jordan 4 “Net,” and Jordan 5 “Reverse Metallic” all arriving just days apart. Finally, the Swoosh also ensures a sensational GR offering, with the return of the Copper Foams and another new edition of the Air Max Waffle Racer stealing the show in this regard.

Of course, Nike isn’t the only label making a strong impression in the first few days of December. Converse is making headlines by closing out the “While You Were Sleeping” collection as the A Ma Maniere Converse Weapon drops midweek. Under Armor’s curry brand marks its empire’s first true offering with the debut of the Fox 1, ushering in a festive “Happy Fox Day” colorway. Last but not least, PUMA and adidas are getting involved with the MB.04 Phoenix and the long-awaited next step in the Jerry Lorenzo story, the Fear of God Athletics Basketball II.
