Last week was fun for sneaker drops. Jae Tips dropped a trio of Saucony Progrid Triumphs. Nike released a Violet SB Dunk Low and LeBron dropped a signature kick inspired by his time in Miami. I am excited about this week’s sneaker releases.
Nike is dropping an Air Max 95 x HBCU pack. The N7 Air Max 90 returns after a five year hiatus. Nike and Nigo have partnered with Levi’s to bring us a special edition of Air Force 3. Lock it in and let’s get into this week’s sneaker releases.
October 13th Sneaker Releases
Air Max 90 N7
- Colorway: Spruce Aura, Ghost Green, Black, and Flash Crimson
- Style Code: CV0264-001
- Retail: $135
Starting the week out is a kick that debuted in 2020. The N7 Air Max 90 pays homage to Native American culture. More specifically their use of plants for their healing powers is where the color blocking comes from. This iteration of the Nike Air Max 90 draws inspiration from the regenerative powers of our planet.
Underneath is a white mesh base accented by two tone grey suede overlays. The color reveal suede lets you create a one of a kind look. Bright green accents hit the eyestays, midsole, and heel. A crimson Swoosh adorns the sidewall.
This Nike Air Max 90 drawing inspiration from Native American heritage will be available on October 13th. Hit up the SNKRS app where they will be available in men’s sizes and retail for $135.

Let’s keep the Air Max them going, this time with the Nike Air Max 95. Nike is continuing their collaboration with HBCU (Historical Black College or University). In 2023 we got the Nike Terminator x HBCU collaboration. Now we get to see the Air Max 95 get the HBCU treatment.
Norfolk State colors grace this silhouette. The wavy side panels sport yellow suede on top. A triple combination of green, grey, and white leather completes the side panels. A stitched white mini Swoosh outlined in black sits on the lateral heel. On the tongue is a green patch with NSU in black.
Green and black rope laces fees through the yellow webbing. On the heel medial the school’s battle cry “Behold the green and bold”. The white midsole houses a large green visible air unit. Underneath is a black lugged outsole accented by green and yellow.

Nigo and Nike are back again with another Air Force 3 collaboration. This time it is a little different with Levi’s in the fold. The all leather base we are used to has been replaced with denim and suede.
Aged blue denim covers the toe box, padded collar, and tongue accented by tan suede overlays. On the tongue is Air Force branding with a basketball graphic. A gold lace dubrae sits just below the tongue. On the heel is Nike Air on the right and Nigo Force on the left.
The aged look continues to the midsole with a yellowed white look. Underneath is a well worn outsole sporting Nike branding. The insoles feature a cowboy giving a nod to Levi’s early advertisements.
I expect this one to sell out so lock this in on October 16th. This denim Air Force 3 will be available on the SNKRS app. They will be available in men’s sizes and retail for $150.

It’s been a while since we had an Air Jordan 1 High drop. So it’s only right the ladies go first. This dark green colorway is perfect for fall. Fall hues are the theme for this Air Jordan 1 High.
Dark green leather overlays are complimented by pale ivory leather underneath. On the tongue is a green nylon tongue tag with Nike Air stitched in white. On the side is the wings logo in gold. The aged white midsole wraps up the Autumn inspired Air Jordan 1 High.
