Three drop days, three completely different kinds of heat. Monday belongs to a retailer exclusive and a New York love letter, Tuesday is Kim Kardashian’s turn at a 1977 archive runner, and Wednesday is the day the whole week has been building toward: two Space Jam-era stories landing at once. This is the STATION buying board for November 9–11 — every date and price below is confirmed, and the full month lives on our release calendar.

Monday, November 9 — Kith day, and a Foot Locker exclusive

The headline act is the Kith x New Balance 2011 “Monuments” collection — Park, Banner and Garden, three colorways built as landmarks of New York City, live at 11 a.m. EST on Kith.com, the Kith App and in Kith stores. We ran the full release-eve breakdown earlier today, including the reported $200 price and the West Hollywood trap around the Garden pair — read that one before you set an alarm, not after.

The drop nobody is talking about lands an hour earlier. Nike‘s “Animal Instinct” pack is a Foot Locker exclusive: two Air Force 1 Lows and an Air Max 90, all three wrapped in an all-over frog print. The adult Force matches the Air Max 90’s black-and-orange energy — black and grey animal print across the toe, lace and heel panels over an olive upper, orange Swoosh — while a kids’ Force lightens the print to black and khaki. The Air Max 90 goes metallic green mesh with black nubuck and a triple-black frog-print mudguard. It is a general-release price point with a limited-door distribution, which is exactly the combination that sells through quietly and then annoys everyone a week later.

Release Details (November 9):

• Kith x New Balance 2011 “Monuments” — Park / Banner / Garden — Nov 9, 11 a.m. EST — $200 reported (full details in today’s Kith post)
• Nike Air Force 1 Low LE “Animal Instinct” (adult) — Nov 9, 10 a.m. EST, Foot Locker exclusive — $125
• Nike Air Force 1 Low LE “Animal Instinct” (GS) — Nov 9, Foot Locker exclusive — $100
• Nike Air Max 90 “Animal Instinct” — Nov 9, 10 a.m. EST, Foot Locker exclusive — $145
• Style codes for the Animal Instinct pack: TBA (not confirmed)
• Also on the board per Sneaker Bar Detroit: the Space Jam × Crocs Classic Clog “Tune Squad” ($70) joins the anniversary run the same day.

Tuesday, November 10 — NikeSKIMS takes the Waffle Racer

NikeSKIMS follows its Air Rift with the opposite move: instead of reshaping a shoe, it leaves one almost completely alone. The Waffle Racer — Bill Bowerman’s 1977 runner, the shoe built around the waffle-iron outsole that started Nike — returns in three women’s two-tone colorways: Baroque Brown (IW3882-200), Thunder Blue (IW3882-400) and Light Bone/Varsity Red (IW3882-002), $130 each through Nike.com/NikeSKIMS and SKIMS.com, with the Retro Sport apparel collection following on November 17. Kardashian has said the Racer is a shoe she has worn for years; the play here is wardrobe staple, not grail — priced like it, too. The Reebok Question Recoded, a retooled take on Allen Iverson’s classic for its 30th anniversary, shares the day.

Wednesday, November 11 — Magic Ball and the Fireworks

Wednesday is the week’s main event, twice over. The Air Jordan 11 “Magic Ball” is the most design-forward chapter of the Space Jam 30th anniversary run: the patent mudguard is gone, replaced by a matte iridescent upper that shifts between green and purple — the glow of the talent-stealing basketball the Nerdlucks carried into the film. It is a women’s exclusive in extended sizing (IZ1800-200) at $235 via SNKRS, and our full Magic Ball breakdown is already live. Sharing the date, the Kobe 8 Protro “Shanghai Fireworks” — a 2013 China exclusive — goes global for the first time at $200; today’s Kobe post has the full story. Set both alarms now: two anniversary-grade pairs on one morning is how budgets die.

How to Buy

Order of operations: Foot Locker at 10 a.m. EST Monday for the Animal Instinct pack (it is the only door — there is no SNKRS backup), Kith at 11 a.m. for Monuments, NikeSKIMS and SKIMS on Tuesday for the Waffle Racer, and SNKRS at 10 a.m. ET Wednesday for the Magic Ball. Everything else this week — the Green Screen 11 on November 14 included — is on the master calendar.
