This Saturday will be the biggest day for the Air Jordan XI Low since it debuted back in 2001. Thirteen years ago this month, we got the first true Jordan 11 Low after the original IE lowtops had hit in ’96. Two snake drops followed the first five pairs about a month later, and this weekend we’ll also have two pairs with textured mudguards hitting stores. For men, there’s the ‘Green Snake’ colorway that gives us another example of Nightshade in use, while the ladies will gravitate toward that Safari print mudguard edition in white and Turbo Green. Click in to see both in greater detail and let us know where these rank in your list of Easter weekend sneaker pickup priorities. – Box Kev

Despite what one might infer from a superficial reading of sneaker sales numbers, Kanye West is indeed an influencer of the highest order. It’s pretty obvious that his extremely limited Air Yeezy line has been inspiring inline drops since it began back in 2009, and in this latest Nike Air Foamposite Pro, we have another clear example. These Yeezy Foams co-opts the ‘Blink’ look with black and Laser Crimson atop a glow in the dark outsole, and there’s a bit of the Yeezy 2′s snake along the eyestay in addition to the added texture of carbon fiber across the upper. Have a look at some crisp new shots below and stay tuned for the release Saturday. – Box Kev

The sneakers officially release on April 18th, so you’ll have other pairs to look forward to this weekend aside from that massive Eastbay Air Jordan restock that’s coming.
