Sneaker companies battle for consumers on a daily basis. Except now, it's more than just NBA All-Stars marketing shoes; NFL players and musicians have their own signature lines. Thanks to technology, it has never been easier to buy kicks online. 

However, the volume of sneaker releases can overwhelm even the most experienced sneakerheads. So as always, we at FanNation Kicks try to alert fans to important release dates. Below are the five biggest sneaker drops of this upcoming weekend.

Curry 1 Low FloTro 'Curry Camp'

The Curry 1 Low FloTro features updated technology, including Under Armour Flow cushioning. The performance basketball shoes are lighter and grippier than ever.

How To Buy: The Curry 1 Low FloTro 'Curry Camp' drops on Friday, September 30. Fans can purchase the shoes on the Under Armour and Curry Brand websites.

Description: The business relationship between rapper Kanye West and Adidas does not appear to be in a great place right now. Luckily for fans, they can still purchase what is widely considered West's most popular shoe - the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2. The 'Flax' colorway has been released multiple times, but the demand warrants yet another release.

How To Buy: The Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 'Flax' releases on Friday, September 30, at 11:00 a.m. Fans can purchase the kicks for $240 on the Adidas and Yeezy websites. After the shoes inevitably sell out, fans can try their luck on sneaker resale websites like GOAT, eBay, and StockX.

The 'Black Canvas' colorway keeps it clean with a simple black and grey palette with suede paneling around the toebox.  

How To Buy: Fans can purchase the Air Jordan 4 'Black Canvas' on Saturday, October 1, for $210. As soon as the classic sneakers drop at 10:00 a.m., fans should be on the Nike website and SNKRS app.
