The white upper glows in the dark, with black on the Swoosh, eyestays, carbon fiber shank plate and outsole. The blocking nods to the 2011 Zoom Rookie, though it isn’t officially part of a Rookie pack. The date already moved once (from Sept. 18), so we’re calling it expected.

Quick Tips Before You Cop
Release dates shift, especially around Halloween. Check the retailer app the morning of the drop, and set reminders on the pairs you want. Pairs marked “expected” don’t have a locked date yet.
