Welcome to The Weekly Sneaker Pulse, Deal Reaper's Sunday roundup for resellers and collectors. This edition covers Monday, September 14 through Sunday, September 20, 2026 (week ending September 20), with release times in Eastern Time unless noted. Late September turned into a Saturday pile-up: Space Jam Jordan 9s, a Kobe 8 Mambacurial return, and One Piece Ope Ope retail in the US and Europe, Nike also slipped the Alphafly 4 onto nike.com six weeks early and sold through the same day.

Week at a glance

September 15: Yuto Horigome x Nike SB Air Force 1 Low "Iron Grey" (IO8439-100, $125), adidas Anthony Edwards 3 "Cold Blooded" (KH8537, $130), and Bad Bunny x adidas Badbo 1.1 ($120) shared the calendar with the women's Nike First Sight Shadow "Light Crimson" (HQ2410-600, $145).
September 16: Women's Air Jordan 6 Low "Metamorphosis" (IX5195-001, $205) launched on SNKRS at 10:00 AM ET for the AJ6 35th anniversary window.
September 17: Nike Alphafly 4 "Sea Glass" (IU4686-002 / IZ9609-002, $280) dropped on nike.com with almost no runway and sold out hours later. Public School NY x Nike Air Max Goadome ($320) opened at 5:00 PM ET with November ship dates.
September 18: Nike Air Foamposite Pro "Green Camo" (IM5204-001, $250) finally landed after an August delay. Nike x One Piece SNKRS poll closed ahead of the September 25 Gomu Gomu pre-order window.
September 19: Air Jordan 9 OG "Space Jam" ($215), Nike Kobe 8 Protro "Mambacurial" (IO6253-500, $200), Mowalola x Air Jordan 14 (IQ5708-001, $255), and One Piece Ope Ope Air Max Plus (IW1282-600, $210) stacked the heaviest retail day of the month.

Releases & restocks

Skate and hoops share Monday (September 15)

Monday spread collab heat across three price tiers:

Yuto Horigome x Nike SB Air Force 1 Low "Iron Grey" (IO8439-100, $125): Nice Kicks documents Iron Grey and Sail on the classic SB sole with family crest and lucky number 7 heel tab details. SNKRS and skate doors shared the drop.
adidas Anthony Edwards 3 "Cold Blooded" (KH8537, $130): Sneaker Bar Detroit lists Bliss Blue and Sky Tint on Ant's third signature, breaking from the Georgia peach story on AE1 and AE2.
Bad Bunny x adidas Badbo 1.1 ($120): Uristocrat's September calendar marks Bad Bunny's second 2026 Badbo drop before the September 26 Badbo 1.0 "Night Navy" follow-up.
Reseller angle: SB AF1 collabs with Olympic gold pedigree usually hold a thin premium at $125. AE3 and Badbo 1.1 need 72 hours of sold data before you anchor asks above tag.

Desert Berry closes the AJ6 anniversary lane (September 16)

Tuesday pushed a women's low-top into the Metamorphosis story:

Air Jordan 6 Low WMNS "Metamorphosis" / Desert Berry (IX5195-001, $205): Nike SNKRS ties Black, Desert Berry, and Metallic Silver to Tinker Hatfield's 1991 championship silhouette. Lace pocket, toggles, and tinted outsole stay intact.
Wholesale breadth: Kicks Finder lists Nike, Foot Locker, and Champs at 10:00 AM ET alongside SNKRS.
Reseller angle: Women's AJ6 lows rarely print launch-week flips at $205. Buy for wear or wait for sub-retail sold dips before you list.

Alphafly 4 shock drop resets marathon margin math (September 17)

Wednesday caught runners and resellers off guard:

Nike Alphafly 4 (IU4686-002 men's / IZ9609-002 women's, $280): Because Sneakers reports a limited nike.com release six weeks ahead of the October 29 wide rollout. Men's inventory showed sold out within hours of the press push.
Price signal: Retail sits $15 under the Alphafly 3 tag at $295, while Nike pitches React foam and updated plate tech against discounted Alphafly 3 stock.
Reseller angle: Early pairs only matter if you secured checkout on September 17. Everyone else should ignore ask screenshots until October 29 wholesale volume lands.

Public School NY boots ship later (September 17)

Wednesday evening added a high-ask collab with a long fulfillment window:

Public School NY x Nike Air Max Goadome ($320): Sneakers Cartel lists an all-black monk-strap overlay with silver buckles on the Air Max boot chassis. Orders opened 5:00 PM ET through Publicschoolnewyork.com.
Fulfillment: Pairs ship in November, not at checkout. Secondary liquidity stays thin until units hit doorsteps.
Reseller angle: Pre-sale flips on $320 PSNY boots rarely clear fees unless you have a confirmed buyer. Wait for in-hand photos before you cross-list.

Foamposite camo ends a month-long delay (September 18)

Thursday finally moved a 2013 archive colorway:

Nike Air Foamposite Pro "Green Camo" (IM5204-001, $250): SI Fannation confirms the slide from August 21 to September 18 at 10:00 AM ET on SNKRS, Foot Locker, and select doors. Voltage Green hits branding and the military hangtag.
Reseller angle: WWD notes this is the first Green Camo Pro retro since 2013. Foam heads still pay for faithful camo shells, but delayed GR Foamposites often sit near tag within a week.

Ope Ope SNKRS Pass closes the One Piece poll window (September 18)

Thursday shifted One Piece from Tokyo lottery hype to US pickup logistics:

SOMEWHERE SNKRS Pass: Nike SNKRS opened entries 6:00 PM ET for 30 minutes. Winners reserved September 19 pickup slots for the Ope Ope Air Max Plus at the Washington, D.C. SOMEWHERE door.
Gomu Gomu poll deadline: Nike's One Piece hub closed the SNKRS poll ahead of September 25 pre-order access for the purple-and-green Gomu Gomu pair at $210.
Reseller angle: Ope Ope retail is September 19 in the US and Europe only. Paris buyers needed a location-based SNKRS Pass for Dr B's Research Lab in the 2nd arrondissement per WhenToCop. Card bundles matter as much as footwear margin.

Saturday stacks Jordan film heat and Kobe soccer gradients (September 19)

Saturday was the week's headline retail window:

Air Jordan 9 OG "Space Jam" (IX6179-001 / HV4794-106, $215): Nice Kicks documents White, True Red, and Black on an updated 1993 mold with Tune Squad insole artwork. SNKRS and select retailers carried full family sizing.
Nike Kobe 8 Protro "Mambacurial" (IO6253-500, $200): Nike SNKRS posted 2:00 PM ET. Red Plum fades into Pink Flash with Electric Green Swoosh and outsole hits, reviving the 2013 Mercurial-inspired colorway in Protro form.
Mowalola x Air Jordan 14 (IQ5708-001, $255) and Mowalola x Air Jordan 14 Mule (IR0908-001, $180): Sneaker Bar Detroit lists a September 19 Mowalola.com first window before September 26 global doors. Black, Burnt Red, and Metallic Gold dominate the campaign shot by Norbert Schoerner.
One Piece x Nike Air Max Plus "Ope Ope" (IW1282-600, $210): Nike Newsroom routing limits September 19 pairs to select US and European retailers, with collector cards bundled at participating pop-ups.
Brooklyn Projects x Anthrax x adidas Conductor: Sole Retriever revives Scott Ian's white leather high-top with deep blue panels exclusively on the Brooklyn Projects webstore.
Pharrell x adidas Adistar Jellyfish "Brown/Frozen Green" (KK2888, $300): WWD's September calendar slots the mint-and-chocolate Jellyfish on September 19 through adidas and CONFIRMED, separate from the Auburn Timber colorway now aimed at December 5 per Sneakers Cartel.
Reseller angle: Kobe 8 Mambacurial retros historically move faster than AJ9 GR anniversaries at the same $200 tier. Pull sold filters Sunday night before you price Space Jam 9s against 2016 retro comps.

Resale market & pricing moves

AJ12 Bucks hype met wholesale reality: SI Fannation reported Idols Become Rivals (CT8013-103) still sitting on Nike and Foot Locker eight days after the September 12 drop. StockX averages hovered near $209 against $215 tag, with asks under retail in multiple sizes. Launch-day "sold out" posts aged poorly within a week.

Tennis Day comps kept sliding: Last week's AJ7 Tennis Day dip near $170 on $215 tag set the tone for September Jordan GRs. Desert Berry AJ6 lows follow the same script unless women's size runs clear out on SNKRS.

Alphafly 4 early pairs carry marathon scarcity, not sneaker flip math: Because Sneakers logged a same-day nike.com sell-through at $280. Secondary asks will stay noisy until October 29 restocks flood the market. Treat early pairs as size-specific arbitrage, not a category-wide index.

One Piece Ope Ope imports still price off cards: Harajuku and regional Mera Mera drops from September 12 left US sellers waiting on September 19 Ope Ope retail before domestic sold data exists. Tokyo Gomu Gomu averages near $800 on $180 retail from prior weeks still anchor expectations for September 25 SNKRS pre-orders.

Below-retail remains the default: SneakerPing's August 18 dataset still shows 59.5% of 3,538 tracked releases trading under tag, with Jordan at 70.7% below retail across 605 pairs. Saturday's Space Jam 9 and Kobe 8 launches are the rare exceptions worth watching, not the rule.

Cross-check StockX, GOAT, and eBay in one pass with our sneaker resale price tracker before you anchor September 19 lists. Kobe sellers who price off 2013 deadstock screenshots risk repeating the AJ12 Bucks breakeven miss from last Saturday.

Platforms, policy & tools

SNKRS Pass logistics dominated One Piece week: Nike's SOMEWHERE page turned September 18 into a 30-minute geo-fenced entry window for September 19 Ope Ope pickup. Paris buyers faced the same Pass mechanic for Dr B's Research Lab per Selecta Bisso. Miss the Pass, miss the card bundle.

Gomu Gomu pre-order opens next Friday: Nike SNKRS schedules September 25 pre-order access for the Gomu Gomu Air Max Plus at $210 in the US, Japan, and select European markets. Poll winners from September 18 notifications get first crack before the global window.

Where to list this week's pairs: Our StockX vs GOAT breakdown still frames verified deadstock above $250 on StockX, flexible $150+ self-ship on eBay Authenticity Guarantee, and GOAT for used-inventory lanes. $200 Kobe 8 pairs belong on verified deadstock with size-level sold filters. $215 AJ9 GRs often net better on eBay's sneaker fee tier when asks sit under tag by Sunday night.

Saturday triple-stack noise: Space Jam 9, Mambacurial, and Ope Ope retail all hit September 19. Filter sold by SKU before you cross-list film anniversary Jordan comps against Kobe gradient graphs. Track the full pipeline on a sneaker reseller app session, not launch-morning screenshots.

Culture, collabs & headlines

Space Jam 9 finally gets official marketing: Nice Kicks traces the White, True Red, and Black colorway from 1996 gym scenes through the 2016 retro gap. 2026 pairs ship in Tune Squad box art with an updated 1993 shape story ahead of the Space Jam 11 chapter later this year.

Mowalola brings Chicago AJ14 energy to London: Sneaker Bar Detroit frames Mowalola's first Jordan Brand collection around Michael Jordan's final Bulls season silhouette, plus a mule variant at $180. A September 19 Mowalola.com first window keeps hype concentrated before September 26 wholesale doors.

Anthrax Conductor digs four decades into adidas archives: Sole Retriever documents a year-long hunt for Scott Ian's personal pair before Brooklyn Projects remade the pre-Ewing high-top for September 19. Music collabs with real sample provenance still move niche size runs on boutique webstores.

Yuto's SB AF1 is identity-first, not colorway chaos: Highsnobiety highlights family crest heel hits and the number 7 tab on Iron Grey suede. Olympic gold credibility on a $125 SB base beats another loud dunk overlay for long-tail hold.

Pharrell Jellyfish splits into two fall stories: WWD scheduled KK2888 Brown and Frozen Green for September 19, while Sneakers Cartel moved Auburn Timber (KK2889) to December 5. Do not mix SKUs when you comp $300 Jellyfish asks.
