A Complete Guide to This Weekend's Sneaker Releases
Hopefully your wallet's prepared, because Nike has a ton of major releases on the way this weekend.
First up, the "Anthracite" Jordan IX takes on a look similar to a sought after Oregon Ducks P.E. That's about it for Jordan Brand, but Nike's Sportswear and Basketball departments are where the bulk of the action is happening.
The Pigalle x LeBron 12 Elite gets an official release, although as usual, NikeLab isn't being very forthcoming with online release info. Meanwhile, the LeBron 12 Low will appear in the popular "SVSM" colorway.
Elsewhere, the Air Presto O.G. run continues with the "Island Blue" colorway, the Air Max 95 gets another anniversary release, and more.
