For a detailed look at all of this week's best drops, here is a Complete Guide to This Weekend's Sneaker Releases.
Nike Air Zoom Freak 1
Price: $120
When: Wednesday, July 10 at 10 a.m.
Where: nike.com and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Giannis Antetokounmpo's debut signature sneaker, the Air Zoom Freak 1, returns this week in a much more simplistic colorway than the inaugural "All Bros" release. This pair goes perfectly with the uniforms of the Milwaukee Bucks with a black mesh upper, white midsole, and subtle Lucid Green branding hits. The Greek Freak's personal logos are stitched on the tongue and heel, but the standout detail is the large backwards Swoosh on the lateral portion of the midsole. A double-stacked Zoom Air unit in the heel acts as the cushioning on the 2019 NBA MVP's first signature model.
Adidas ZX Torsion
Price: $140
When: Thursday, July 11
Where: adidas.com and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Adidas took a look back at its ZX line from the '80s, and reimagined it for a new generation. The result is the brand new ZX Torsion. The low-top maintains an old school look with a Bright Cyan mesh upper and blue suede overlays made to resemble the OG colorway of the ZX 8000. Additional pops of color come in the form of Linen Green laces, and a bright orange liner. Other details include grey nylon Stripes, a Trefoil logo on each tongue, and reflective hits on the toe and heel. The upper sits atop a cream-colored midsole with concealed Boost cushioning, and a Torison system installed at the midfoot.
Millie Bobby Brown x Converse 'Millie By You' Collection
Price: TBD
When: Thursday, July 11 at 10 a.m.
Where: converse.com
What You Need to Know: Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has collaborated with Converse on her own versions of the Chuck Taylor All Star. The "Millie By You" collection will provide customers with ten unique colors and prints inspired by Brown's love of whales and the ocean that can be used to customize high-top and low-top versions of the timeless silhouette. Her personal logo will also be stamped on each insole.
'Stranger Things' x Nike 'OG' Pack
Price: $120
When: Friday, July 12 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Some may have already binged the entirety of the third season of Stranger Things, but Nike is not done providing fans with some special product to commemorate the occasion. After initially being slated to release ahead of the season's Fourth of July premier on Netflix, the "OG" collection will finally release on Friday. It includes patriotic colorways of retro sneakers like the Air Tailwind '79, Cortez, and Blazer Mid. Each comes with branded tongue tags, insoles, special paper, and a set of collectible pins.
WMNS Air Jordan VIII 'Aqua'
Price: $190
When: Friday, July 12 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Women get a special release from Jordan Brand this week as the brand will be bringing back the popular white-based "Aqua" colorway from 2007 for the first time. The women's-exclusive stays true to the OG with a white leather upper, grey suede wrapping the heel, and colorful purple, yellow, aqua blue, and red detailing.
Air Jordan XI Low IE 'Space Jam'
Price: $170
When: Saturday, July 13 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: This brand new colorway of the less-celebrated Air Jordan XI Low IE takes some very clear inspiration from one of the most popular colorways of the Air Jordan XI. This pair does its best "Space Jam" impression with a black mesh upper, tonal patent leather mudguard, white midsole, and icy outsole. A royal blue Jumpman stitched on the tongue completes the design that mirrors the pair Michael Jordan laced up to defeat the Monstars in the 1996 cult classic film of the same name.
Nike Shox TL 'Neymar'
Price: $175
When: Saturday, July 13 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Nike is following its duo of "Neymar" Shox R4s that released this past May with another Shox model paying homage to PSG's superstar forward. The Shox TL is the canvas of choice this time, and is dressed in a black color scheme with gold detailing. The color blocking is inspired by a bootleg pair that Neymar received from his dad as a kid when his family couldn't afford the real thing. Neymar branding can be found on the tongue, heel tab, and insole.
Nike N110 D/MS/X
Price: $160
When: Saturday, July 13 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Nike's new N110 D/MS/X will be the first silhouette to be constructed of N1110 Flyknit yarn. The special material is designed to expose certain areas of the upper, which results in a rather unconventional appearance and increased ventilation. The multi-colored low-top's standout details include a bright blue Swoosh, chunky white midsole with a raised arch, and blue plastic overlay on the lateral portion of the midsole.
Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 'Lundmark'
Price: $220
When: Saturday, July 13 at 10 a.m.
Where: adidas.com, Yeezy Supply, and other select retailers

The grey and cream "Lundmark" option will be available in sizes for the whole family this Saturday with a men's-exclusive, and much more limited, reflective version releasing a few days prior on July 11.
