This week’s sneaker releases start slow but heat up as we move toward the weekend. From innovative designs to nostalgic classics, the lineup has something for every sneaker enthusiast. Jordan Brand is continuing its Lunar New Year celebrations, Puma teams up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and a classic Andre Agassi tennis sneaker is making a comeback. Let’s dive into this week’s most anticipated sneaker release dates and what makes each pair stand out.
January 29th
Air Max Muse
The week begins with the Nike Air Max Muse, releasing on January 29th via the SNKRS app. This is a relatively new silhouette, having debuted last December. Its design is a nod to Y2K aesthetics, featuring exaggerated details and futuristic elements. The shoe is covered in a tonal “Cave Stone” finish, with suede overlays that mimic stone textures and breathable mesh panels in matching grey tones. A metallic Swoosh sits prominently on the lateral side, while a visible Air unit is encased in an exaggerated foam and rubber pod at the heel. Women’s sizing will be available for $160, making this a great pick for fans of modern design.
Air Jordan 1 Low ‘Lunar New Year’
Also dropping on January 29th is the Air Jordan 1 Low ‘Lunar New Year’, Jordan Brand’s second release for this festive season. Following last week’s snakeskin-detailed Air Jordan 11 Low, this Air Jordan 1 Low embraces similar elements with a snakeskin leather Swoosh and photon dust overlays. The iridescent Wings logo on the heel adds a subtle shimmer, while the aged midsole and semi-translucent blue outsole tie the design together beautifully. Retailing at $160, this sneaker will be available in a full-size run, ensuring fans of all ages can celebrate the Lunar New Year in style.
January 30th
Air Max 180
On January 30th, Nike brings back a 90s classic with the Air Max 180 in a vibrant “University Blue” and “Hyper Pink” colorway. The shoe features University Blue suede overlays, deep Royal Blue textile panels, and bold Hyper Pink accents on the Swoosh and heel branding. Its two-tone midsole, housing the signature 180-degree Air unit, adds to the retro aesthetic. Priced at $150, this runner is perfect for fans of bold, colorful designs.
January 31st
Nike Air Tech Challenge 2
If you’re a fan of high-top classics, the Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 is set to drop on January 31st. Worn by tennis legend Andre Agassi in the 90s, this sneaker is a true icon of the era. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, it features a clean white leather upper, perforated panels, and grey overlays. The splattered Hyper Pink mudguard and bright pink Nike branding add a pop of color to the otherwise neutral palette. With an aged midsole and durable traction outsole, this pair will be available on SNKRS and through Feature via draw, priced at $150.
Zoom Field Jaxx
January 31st also sees the release of the Zoom Field Jaxx, a Travis Scott collaboration that blends two retro Nike silhouettes—the Land Shark and Zoom Spiridon. This hybrid sneaker combines a white leather upper, off-white mesh panels, and a brown wavy midsole for a distinctive look. Signature Cactus Jack branding appears on the medial side, heel, and outsole, making it a must-have for Travis Scott fans. Retailing at $170, this drop is another chance for those who missed out on last week’s release via Travis’ website.
February 1st
Puma x Melo MB.01 TMNT Baxter Stockman
Closing out the week on February 1st, Puma launches its TMNT x Melo MB.01 ‘Baxter Stockman’ collaboration. Inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles villain, this sneaker features an engineered mesh upper with an iridescent finish and grey accents. The NITRO FOAM midsole, speckled with multicolored patterns, provides responsive cushioning, while the durable rubber outsole ensures long-lasting grip. With TMNT, Puma, and Melo branding on the heel, this limited-edition pair will be available for $135 on the Puma app.
