The Seven Best Nike Sneaker Releases This Week
When you think of sneakers, you probably think of Nike. Few brands in the world have as much lore as the Swoosh: history, heritage, ground-breaking design. But it’s been a difficult few years for Nike, with competitors hitting their stride in a rapidly changing space. Nike never dies, though. From retro reruns to some of the most advanced new editions on the market, Nike’s always there, biding its time and providing great sneakers like it always has.
Whether it’s the unbreakably trendproof aesthetic of the Air Force 1, the industrial workings of the Nike Shox R4, or the mind-bogglingly futuristic First Sight Shadow, a look at just the last week of Nike drops proves that the brand has every angle covered.

Nike SB Air Force 1 Low SE
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: Under the wing of Nike SB, the Air Force 1 gains a cushioned collar and new, extra-grippy outsole. That's not to mention this plush suede upper in rich Cool Grey and Court Green which sits regally on the silhouette.
Nike Air Max Ecstasy Plus
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: Nike's Air Max family is undoubtedly one of the most expansive and multi-faceted in sneakers. With lesser-known silhouettes like the Ecstasy Plus moving into the spotlight recently, the power of the range is brought back into full focus.
Nike Air Force 1 "University of Georgia"
Release Date: October 29
Editor's Notes: There aren't many silhouettes in the world that suit a fully tonal outfit as well as the Air Force 1. Taking inspiration from the University of Georgia, this new iteration is drenched in red across suede and leather panels.
Nike Shox R4
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: One of the defining silhouettes of the 2000s, the Nike Shox is creeping back into the public psyche and it's being carried by colorways like this glossy Team Red edition. Love it or hate it, that exposed heel is iconic.
Nike Women's First Sight Shadow
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: In a similar way to the Foamposite, the Nike Women's First Sight Shadow features an armor-like shell upper. It's a space-age take on lifestyle footwear with a super comfortable neoprene sock liner that holds the foot in place in the absence of lacing.
Nike Ava Rover
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: Few shoes weigh as little and yet feel as comfortable as the Nike Ava Rover. Built atop a ReactX sole unit, it features a technical, breathable upper that multiplies the lightweight finish. In this monochrome palette, the Ava Rover looks as good as it ever has.
Nike Vomero Premium SP
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: Nobody is stacking as high as the Vomero Premium SP. Until you've actually worn a pair of these, they might seem comedically stacked. Once done walked a mile in them, you'll understand. Black and Iron Grey emphasizes the engineered beauty of this pair.
