Nike's Halloween Takeover Kicks off in This Week's Best Footwear Drops

As the cold weather starts to seep into most parts of the world, that hasn’t stopped sneaker brands from bringing the heat. Just last week alone both Supreme and Palace dropped some fall-time kicks, the former teaming up with Vans on a trio of SK8-Hi Pros, and the latter with Reebok on two iterations of the JK Workout Mid.

Sportswear giant Nike also made a few headlines on its own, first by being crowned the favorite footwear and apparel brand among US teens, then with the introduction of its CruzrOne model. The Swoosh also played a part in Kenyan runner Eliud Kipchoge breaking the sub two-hour marathon threshold.

According to a few first looks, sneaker fans can also look forward to the adidas YEEZY 500 “Soft Vision,” another Travis Scott x Air Jordan 6 in “Yellow Cactus Jack”, a FORTY PERCENT AGAINST RIGHTS-designed Nike SB Dunk High, and finally, an atmos x Nike SB Dunk Low “Safari.”

Elsewhere, we got a closer look at the instantly sold-out Travis Scott x Air Jordan 6 “Cactus Jack.” The artist even responded to a fan’s complaint about his Air Jordan releases and the problem with resellers and bots.

Finally we highlighted atmos con Vol. 7’s brightest heat along with the 10 best vis-tech sneakers to add to your rotation

Now with a new week ahead of us, we present the latest installment of our weekly footwear drops list, showcasing what’s to come from your favorite footwear brands. Take a look at the list below and let us know what releases you’re looking forward to.
