This week’s releases are not punctual.
Tuesday we broke the disappointing news that the Air Foamposite One Metallic Gold, expected to hit stores Saturday, would be pushed back until April. Today we compound that with another round of bad news: The Duke-inspired Nike Kyrie 1 Brotherhood will no longer launch tomorrow.
Instead, the hotly anticipated shoe, which mixes a black mesh upper with royal blue and white accents as a nod to Kyrie Irving’s college days at Duke, will release at Nike Basketball accounts March 21. That’s a universal stateside release, meaning independent shops, such as New Jersey’s Packer Shoes, as well as Nike stores and Nike.com will adhere to the new launch date.
That being said, there’s still plenty to be excited about this weekend. Barring unforeseen circumstances — which are obviously a distinct possibility — the Air Jordan 4 Teal, Air Jordan XX Stealth, P-Rod 1, Air Jordan 7 Verde and LeBron 12 What If all roll out on Saturday.
