Last week’s sneaker drops were exciting. The Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 dropped again via SNKRS. These were a limited release so chances of copping were slim. New Balance released another Foot Locker exclusive. Brain Dead dropped Adidas Lo pack. Although summer is winding and school is back this week’s sneaker drops will be exciting
Nike is releasing a few kicks worth watching including a Kobe IV and an Air Force 1. Jordan Brand is dropping a New colorway for the Air Jordan 4. New Balance is giving us another Salehe Bembury collaboration. Let’s get into this week’s sneaker drops.

September 2nd Sneaker Drops
Air Force 1 ’07 L V8
- Colorway: Anthracite and Black
- Style Code: IH4965-254
- Retail: $130
I am used to wearing all white Air Force 1s as a Spring and Summer staple. Nike has been dropping some AF 1s with a different spin on them. The Halloween version and one of my favorites is the patchwork Air Force 1. This Air Force 1 has some heavy metal vibes.
This iteration of the Air Force 1 sports all black leather with a faded look. On the black tongue is a tongue with a distressed look and stitched black Nike Air branding. The tongue tag also sports metal studs.
On the sole is a lugged Swoosh with metal studs. Replacing the normal laces are oversized rope like laces in black. Underneath the laces is a black mini Swoosh. The elevated midsole has a faded look along with the cupped outsole. Hit up the SNKRS app to pick up a pair. They will be available in men’s sizes and retail for $130.

Salehe Bembury x New Balance 1000 ‘Fog be the Cloud’

Salehe Bembury has some fire collaborations with New Balance. These include the 990 Sands be the Time and most recently the 530 Prosperity be the Prize. This time Bembury has put his spin on the New Balance 1000.
Drawing inspiration from The Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee hits of blue and green are throughout. A vibrant blue covers the mesh and leather overlays like the blue skies in the mountains. On the side is a translucent N logo outlined in yellow.
Green hairy grass like suede covers the toe. The laces and sock liner give sunset vibes with coral pink. The polyurethane midsole has ABZORB cushioning in the heel and toe. Inside is Bembury fingerprint an NB branding.

September 6th Sneaker Drops
Nike SB Dunk Low Pro x Limosine Skateboards
- Colorway: Brown and Black
- Style Code: HJ4131-200
- Retail: $135
I am calling this the football Dunk because of the color blocking and texture. Limosine Skateboards known for their easy going approach to tricks is putting their twist on the SB Dunk Low Pro.
The entire shoe is covered in a textured brown leather similar to a fresh football. On the side is a black Swoosh outlined in silver. On the lateral side near the heel is the Limosine Skateboards logo in black and silver. The brown textured tongue tag sports Nike Air branding in black.
The black sock liner matches the all black midsole and rubber cupped outsole. If you’re like me and like extras then you will not be disappointed. On top of the white laces this Nike SB Dunk Low comes with five extra pairs of laces.
Limosine Skateboards will drop these on their website September 2nd. If you miss that drop don’t worry because SNKRS will have these available on September 6th. These will be available in men’s sizes and retail for $135.
Air Jordan 4
- Colorway: Cave Stone, Black, and Particle White
- Style Code: FV5029-200
- Retail: $220
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again the sneaker week is not complete unless we have a Jordan drop. This version of the Air Jordan 4 Retro is dropping just in time for fall. The upper sports a dark taupe finish covering the nubuck suede.
Accenting the taupe suede is black hits on the side panel netting, the eyestays, and woven tongue tag. On the heel is Nike Air is black as well. The polyurethane midsole comes in a triple color blocking with a visible air cushion.
The Air Jordan 4 ‘Cavestone’ should be an easy cop. SNKRS will have these available in full family sizing with men’s sizes retailing for $220. Other Jordan retailers like Footlocker and JD Sports will have these available too. For a chance at a draw hit up Social Status or Feature.
That does it for this week’s sneaker drops. Which pair are you looking forward to? Let us know in the comments. For me I am excited about the Salehe Bembury x New Balance 1000. Until next week keep it fresh and check out our Best Jordan 11 colorway picks.
