The Best Nike Sneakers Releasing in February
February approaching can only mean one thing for sneakerheads and hoops fans alike: the NBA All-Star Weekend will soon be upon us.
As always, basketball’s marquis weekend will bring with a strong lineup of sneaker releases. Jordan Brand in particular is bringing some heavy hitters for the festivities, and Nike will also have plenty to offer with a new edition of the Kobe 6 Protro for the occasion. A big question mark lingers, however, surrounding the highly anticipated return of the Air Foamposite One “Galaxy,” which has long been rumored to release during the weekend but has not yet had a firm date locked down with just less than a month to go.
Below, find all the best Nike releases scheduled for February and keep peeled for updates throughout the month as new information becomes available.
