Headlining this week's lineup of releases is Travis Scott's follow-up to his third studio album Astroworld—the "Sail" version of his Air Force 1 Low. Alongside La Flame's collab is new offerings from Nike, Adidas, Jordan Brand, and Under Armour. 

Drops start on Wednesday with the release of a black and orange Air Max 180 inspired by flames. Thursday's lone drop is a "Blue Spark" colorway of the Air Humara. Following up the two releases earlier in the week, Nike delivers its stateside release of the OG Air Max Deluxe, Scott's customizable Air Force 1, and a clean "White Metallic" Air Max Penny 1 on Friday. Under Armour also has a simple black-and-white Curry 5 slated to hit stores on Friday as well. 

Closing out the week is the Daniel Arsham-designed Adidas Crazy BYW X, "Pinstripe" pack from Nike inspired by the Chicago Bulls vs. Orlando Magic rivalry of the mid-'90s, wider release of the Kyrie 4 "Cereal" pack, Don C's Jordan Legacy 312 in a trio of retro-inspired color schemes, and the "Class of 2003" Air Jordan XII paying homage to Chris Paul's high school playing days that will all be available this Saturday.
