The Three Best Sneaker Releases This Weekend

Air Jordan and Nike are dominating this weekend's sneaker releases.

Many sneakerheads have gift cards from the holidays burning a hole in their pocket well into January. Luckily, there is always heat getting dropped on a regular basis. While this is not one of the more memorable weekends for shoppers, some great shoes are hitting the shelves.

As always, we try to curate the best (and most obtainable) kicks dropping that fans can realistically get their hands on. Below are the top three sneaker releases of this upcoming weekend.
