from collaborations like Travis Scott’s Dunks, the return of Tom Sachs’ coveted Mars Yard sneakers, and the long awaited debut of the Yeezy basketball sneaker, there’s plenty to be excited about in 2020.
Scroll through for a rundown of what to keep an eye on this year.
Aside from a set of recently leaked photos, little is known about Scott’s upcoming Air Max 270 React collaboration. The sneakers themselves flip the shoe’s upper with a retro-like wave pattern and a gold, soiled midsole which combine for a pre-distressed look. The combination of materials and details are also worth mentioning, which include suede, mesh, and a new toggle lace system.
Arguably the most hyped pair on this list, the pair is Dior designer Kim Jones’ latest grand achievement. It was produced in Italy and features Dior’s signature oblique pattern on the Swoosh, among other details included a hidden Dior-stamped footbed. Only 1,000 pairs are expected to drop at select Dior stores this spring for a retail price of $2,000.
Originally introduced in 2012 in the form of the ultra-limited Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 1.0 which used NASA-approved Vectran material, the silhouette was reissued with a more practical mesh base in 2017. Still not exactly easy to come by, the shoes were released through Space Camp demonstrations and have become one of the more coveted collaborations in recent memory. Surprisingly, recent leaks show what are supposed to be new pairs set to drop sometime during the spring season.
Kanye West’s Yeezy Quantum basketball shoes have been in the works for quite some time. They even managed to drum up controversy in late 2018 when reports surfaced that the NBA had banned the sneakers from on-court action. More than a year later, the Yeezy Quantum is finally rumored to drop during NBA All-Star Weekend.
These are just a couple of the most coveted drops coming in 2020 and there will be surely more to come within the months.
