This Week's Heat Check featuring Air Jordan Brand and More

The first week of Black History Month, the first Heat Check of February. February is well known for having nonstop great releases. Two weeks away from Allstar weekend, I’m sure we are going to see a multitude of all new concept sneakers and designs as this month progresses. The sneakers in this week’s Heat Check range from Nike, Adidas, and Air Jordan Brand. From Air Jordan, we will be featuring the Air Jordan 5 Anthracite and Trophy Room x Air Jordan 1 High OG. From Adidas, we will see the Pharrell X Adidas NMD HU Cream. Lastly, Nike will be dropping the Nike Air Force 1 Low Experimental Racer Pink.

The official colorway for this Nike AF1 is racer pink, Arctic punch, sail, and opti-yellow. This sneaker is inspired by the oxygen masks used in the brands’ sports research lab, which are printed on the insoles of the shoe. The upper for this shoe is completely molded in the racer pink colorway. Other design features on this sneaker include the “N.354” printed on the lateral swoosh, padded tongue, and dual pull tabs. This shoe is all summed up with a gum bottom. This Air Force 1 is going to release on February 6 for a retail price of $130. You can purchase these sneakers on sites like Goat and StockX with prices varying by size.

The official colorway for this Air Jordan 5 is anthracite, wolf grey, clear, and black. This sneaker has similar features to the OG version, keeping the reflective material on the upper and on the tongue, upper, bottom, and quarter paneling. The material on this Air Jordan 5 is unique with its mix of suede leather, textile, and translucent material, while still keeping the hallmark 23 branding on the heel and splatter finish on the midsole.
