The NBA All-Star festivities are almost here, and brands are gearing up to celebrate one of the most momentous sneaker occasions of the year in style. It’s easy to get lost on all of the All-Star centric releases, so we’re here to give you a full recap of what will be releasing in an ASG-theme over the next few weeks. Jordan Brand will be releasing a number of Laser inspirations to help usher in 30 years of Jordan in New York City. Kanye and the three stripes will launch the adidas Yeezy. Other brands have big plans too, as Packer Shoes and SNS have hooked up with Reebok for a 7-shoe collaboration. All of that is occurring even before a mention of Nike Basketball’s upcoming release of the LeBron 12, Kobe 10, KD 7, and Kyrie 1 in special aesthetics based on NYC locales.
