Piet Parra x Vans OTW Half Cab | Vans
It seems we’ve been on a streak of introducing you to some of the most exciting sneaker releases in recent memory. Fortunately, the upcoming week offers a bit of relief in terms of release frequency, but make no mistake—the quality remains top-notch.
Leading the pack is the reigning champion of sneakers, Travis Scott, making waves with the Air Jordan 1 Low in “Medium Olive.” This long-awaited drop, which we’ve been anticipating since early this year, is sure to satisfy the immense demand typical of his collaborations.
While it may be challenging to reach the heights of excitement that surrounds Travis’s releases, this week still brings an impressive lineup from Jordan Brand, including the Air Jordan 12 “Barons,” Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Volt Tint,” and a second chance to snag the A Ma Maniere Jordan 4—solid fare indeed.
On the Nike front, the Ja 2 will finally see its public launch, debuting in the striking “Induction” colorway. Meanwhile, in Dallas, Kyrie Irving will introduce his signature shoe, the ANTA KAI 1 Speed, in the “Twin Flame” colorway toward the end of the week.
Rounding out the collaborations, A$AP Rocky is set to release his PUMA Inhale collection, featuring two distressed color variations, while Piet Parra infuses his distinct vibrant aesthetic into the Vans Half Cab.
As usual, the preview above covers a number of releases to keep an eye on this week, but it’s not exhaustive. Check out the full list below for everything coming up that you won’t want to miss.

The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.
After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.
The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.
While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.
As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation
This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.
Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.
In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.
Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
