February approaching can only mean one thing for sneakerheads and hoops fans alike: the NBA All-Star Weekend will soon be upon us.
As always, basketball’s marquis weekend will bring with a strong lineup of sneaker releases. Jordan Brand in particular is bringing some heavy hitters for the festivities, and Nike will also have plenty to offer with a new edition of the Kobe 6 Protro for the occasion along with a “Black Label” collection uniting all its signature athletes, as well as Victor Wembanyama. The biggest release of them all, however, will be the first-ever return of the Air Foamposite One “Galaxy,” one of the most fabled sneakers of all-time.
Below, find all the best Nike releases scheduled for February and keep peeled for updates throughout the month as new information becomes available.
