Matt Varga Updated April 14th, 2025: The Nike Cortez “Jackie Robinson Day,” CLOT x adidas Gazelle, Story MFG x ASICS, DTLR x adidas Superstar and Justin Timberlake x Nike Victory Tour 4 have been added to our list.
After a quiet start to April, things begin to heat up this week, maybe perfect timing for our US readership if the government is sending some extra pocket change your way.
The two-pack in our title is of course the main attraction, with a wider release for the A Ma Maniere Air Jordan 3 “For The Love” and the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 “Navy.” Later in the week, the Jumpman drops off one additional shoe of note via the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Rookie of the Year.: For those partial to Nike hoops, there’s a ton to look forward to: the debut of the Nike KD 18 comes alongside the Book 1 “Moss Point” and the KD 4 retro “Easter.”
Shifting away from the Swoosh, Action Bronson’s work with NB also continues via the raffle release of his “Amazonia” New Balance 990v6. In the mainline, the ever-sought-after New Balance 1906L drops off another new colorway, accompanied a day later by the premium “Essentially Offbeat” duo for the New Balance 991v2. Looping back to the collab front, JJJJound and Vans continue their own fruitful partnership with a Half Cab collection, while a new relationship is born in the Kenzo Converse capsule.
If you’re a long-time attendee of these release roundups, you know the drill by now: you’ll find day-by-day galleries included below, with hyperlinks leading back to each release’s original article. There you’ll find detailed breakdown of each shoe and direct “Where To Buy” shopping links, updated on release day. We’ll keep this page updated with any late-breaking additions, but just as general practice, keep an eye on our Jordan Release Dates and Sneaker Release Dates hubs to stay fully in the loop
We begin on Monday, April 14th with a one-drop day, the Air Max 95 soccer cleat AKA Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 “Neon.”
April 15th is a massive day for SNKRS, delivering wider releases for both the Air Jordan 4 SB “Navy” and A Ma Maniere Jordan 3 “For The Love.” If hoops shoes are more your speed, the Swoosh’s app also drops off a global launch of the Nike x Titan Sabrina 2. Finally, the Swoosh odes to a genuine sports icon with the Nike Cortez “Jackie Robinson Day.”
If you’re a fan of oddities in the sneaker world, April 16th has your name on it. We get a new colorway of the New Balance loafer with the 1906L Silver Metallic/Cream and a faux-pack of Nike ACG pairs: the Nike Rufus “Bold Berry” and Nike Izy “Photon Dust.”
April 17th brings an unexpectedly stacked day of launches, first with the Nike Air Force 1 “Easter Basket,” a commemorative makeover of the Nike icon. Then multiple collaborations arrive; the first-ever Kenzo Converse link-up and the next step in the JJJJound Vans relationship with the Half Cab. Though not relying on outside influence, the New Balance 991v2 “Essentially Offbeat” brings special edition flair to an inline pack. We round out with some “GR” fare, as the Nike Pegasus Premium “Persian Violet” arrives alongside a bring-back of the Nike GT Cut “Flash Pink.”
The Queens rapper is the headliner on April 18th, marching on in his work on the 990v6 with Action Bronson New Balance “Amazonia,” dropping via his specializinginlife site. We then swap to the Swoosh for many of the day’s following releases: the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Rookie Of The Year” joins a heavy basketball crop with the KD 4 “Easter”, KD 18 “Liquid Lime,” Book 1 “Moss Point,” Ja 2 “Murray State.” The ASICS Story MFG collab brings sustainability and checkered patterns to the GEL-Venture 6, while the adidas DTLR partnership spawns a new Superstar. Tacking on one more hoops drop, the PUMA MB.04 Lo “Alien Skin” marks the first cut-down edition of LaMelo’s latest. Last but not least, a Justin Timberlake Nike golf shoe arrives in the $500 bracket via the Victory Tour 4.
To round out this week’s festivities on April 19th, the adidas AE 1 Low “3SSB” is one of three launches on a quieter-than-usual Saturday. For those more geared towards lifestyle, the latest CLOT adidas collection lands the same day, merging silken uppers and crepe soles. Hoopers with differing allegiances can check out New Balance Basketball “Flavors.”
