Highlighting this week of major releases is the long-awaited Undercover x Nike React Element 87 collaboration, a restock of the "Wave Runner" Adidas Yeezy Boost 700, and the debut of the LeBron 16.
Releases start up early this week with a brand new "N*E*R*D" Pharrell x Adidas NMD Hu dropping exclusively at Billionaire Boys Club in New York City. The next major releases do not come until Thursday with the arrival of the "Life of the Party" Air Max Deluxe and four collaborative pairs of the React Element 87 from Jun Takahashi's Undercover.
On Friday, Foot Locker delivers the Nike Air Max "Air Frequency" pack and Reebok celebrates the release of the latest Predator film with a DMX Run 10 inspired by the original 1987 sci-fi movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
A bulk of this week's big releases take place on Saturday. The Nike Air Force 1 "Canvas" pack, "Grim Reepers" Off-White x Nike Blazer Mid, "1 Thru 5" LeBron 16, "Class of 2002" Air Jordan XIII inspired by Carmelo Anthony's high school days at Oak Hill Academy, and Air Jordan XVIII "Colors" pack will all be available. Adidas comes with three drops of its own—an Ultra Boost Uncaged collab with Études, new crop of Stan Smiths designed by Raf Simons, and restock of the "Wave Runner" Yeezy Boost 700.

What You Need to Know: Originally spotted on the runway this past March at Paris Fashion Week, Undercover's collection of Nike React Element 87s is finally releasing. Each of the four pairs sports its own unique color combination across one of 2018's most popular silhouettes. Shades like volt, royal blue, red, and green cover the React Element 87's translucent upper and carved midsole. Each colorway is also stamped with Undercover branding on the mid panel to further separate the collab from other general releases.

What You Need to Know: For any Travis Scott fans who missed out on both of his Air Force 1 collaborations, Nike is dropping a trio of consolation prizes this weekend. "Light Bone," "December Sky," and "Black" pairs of the classic low top have all been given canvas uppers almost identical to La Flame's popular pairs. These three options lack the special hits of the Astroworld rapper's collab like removable Swooshes, chrome dubraes, and special branding. The gum bottoms of the aforementioned collaboration have been swapped out for a semi-translucent styling as well.
