Jordan Brand allowed Luka Dončić to debut his Jordan Luka 4 shoes during his first game against his old team. We were also given a closer look at the A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 5 “Violet Ore” and Air Jordan 9 “Cool Grey”.
As a passionate fan, I couldn’t help but notice an exciting week in the sneaker world! New Balance made some major moves with Salehe Bembury officially unveiling his 991v2 “Colors Be The Palette”. On top of that, hints of a collaboration between Rich Paul and New Balance on the 2010 model, as well as a partnership between CNCPTS and New Balance for the 1000 model, surfaced.
