Colorway: White / Ghost / Ashen Slate / Game Royal
Style #: CZ1528-100
Release Date: May 28, 2021
Price: $130

The Nike Air Force 1 Experimental “Postal Ghost” was the subject of major controversy this year, with the United States Postal Service initially pursuing a law suit against the shipping-box inspired sneaker. After time however, the USPS has given Nike their blessings to release the sneaker this week. A shipping paper-like upper along with a shipping sticker finishes off one of the most unique Air Force 1s to release.

Style #: DC7442-001
Release Date: May 27, 2021
Price: $450

Matthew M Williams has become the king of futuristic shoes, with his Nike Zoom MMW 4 becoming synonymous with the term. Releasing alongside a “Rust Factor” edition, this “Triple Black” iteration captures the monochromatic utilitarian design that fans have been waiting for. Double stacked soles, a Zoom Air forefoot, mesh upper, and a jet-black colorway make this perhaps the best MMW 4 to date. While the sneaker’s price point is a whopping $450, the silhouette’s vast features make it absolutely worth it.

When it comes to creativity, adidas has traversed beyond the norm, drawing inspiration from moments and places untraditional. For their latest Forum Low, the Three Stripes has bagged Arwa Al Banawi to tell his cultural story. Middle Eastern tradition, particularly with the headscarf, is on full display across this neutral pair. Expect the pair to drop for $100 on May 28.

The adidas YZY Foam Runner has transformed from laughing stock to grail status, as the croc-like runner has become a favorite for many. In its latest form, the EVA constructed clog is doused in “Mineral Blue.” The first Foam RNNR to release in such fashion, expect this one to sell out instantly, so be sure to mark your calendars for May 29.

Colorway: TBD
Style #: CZ2239-600
Release Date: May 24, 2021
Price: $150

Paul Rodriguez, also known as P-Rod, has had a long history with Nike SB. In continuation of their past works, the popular duo has given the SB Dunk a “What The” makeover with inspiration from past P-Rod collaborations. This multi-colored bonanza has so many different elements that it looks to be one of the boldest SBs to release this year (you heard me Street Hawker?). Don’t hesitate to cop this contender for SB Dunk of the Year on May 24.
