This Week’s Hottest Sneaker Drops Kick Off May 6

2025 has already proven to be a colossal year for sneaker releases, and things are only just heating up. After a relatively quiet April, May is here to reset the tempo with a packed month of launches, headlined by debut signatures, long-awaited retros, and some of the year's most anticipated collaborations.

Leading the charge this week is the debut of A’ja Wilson’s viral Nike A’One, the WNBA star’s first signature sneaker, and one that’s been turning heads since its initial reveal. Also in performance circles, Adidas digs into its archives with a remake of the 2010 F50 Adizero—offered in both leather and synthetic builds—while Nike serves up the LeBron 21 “Prime 93,” a Diamond Turf-inspired colorway, and James Harden’s icy Harden Vol. 9 “Ice Metallic.”

Retro fans won’t be left out either. This week marks the return of the Air Force 1 Low “Escape,” a beloved early-2000s classic, while the Nike DT 96 arrives in a heartfelt colorway. Topping the retro slate is the Air Jordan 1 High OG “UNC Reimagined,” which you can still scoop early for just over retail on StockX.

The viral “dirty” Air Force 1s from .SWOOSH are also set to land, alongside major collabs from Sacai, Naked Copenhagen, and thisisneverthat.
