Even amid a landscape of retro-mania, November is about to bring a serious blast from the past for Nike.
Two legendary sneakers will make their first-ever return, as one of the most coveted of all Air Max 1s rereleases just days prior to the drop of the pre-SB era Wu-Tang Dunk High. Kevin Durant’s 2011 Christmas sneaker also gets the retro treatment later in the month, while Deion Sanders’ signature sneaker takes on a colorway to commemorate his time with the Atlanta Falcons.
If you’re looking for new, LeBron James’ next signature sneaker makes its debut on the first of the month, and the latest in Durant’s “Aunt Pearl” series will arrive weeks later.
Below, Footwear News has gathered all the best Nike releases scheduled for November. You can also find dedicated pages for Air Jordan and Adidas sneakers at the links, as well as a wider roundup of the best sneakers here.
