This is an archive of the US SNKRS calendar from 23 September to 1 October 2026. Thirteen shoes and four pieces of apparel were listed, all as draws. The shoes used two-minute LEO windows; the Nike x One Piece apparel used a 30-minute timer. These releases have passed. For the next drops, use the current release calendar.

What does a two-minute draw change?
The whole shape of preparation.
A draw picks at random from every entry made while it is open, so when you enter inside the window makes no difference. What sets a LEO draw apart is how short that window is. Entries begin at 10:00am Eastern and close about two minutes later, and nothing on the page counts them down.
So the work moves earlier. A billing profile that is missing, or a size you have not decided on, has no time to be fixed once it goes live. Everything has to be set before 10:00am, and every profile you start is one more entry in the same two minutes.
What was on the calendar?
Wednesday to Friday
Nike G.T. Future in Varsity Red and Black opens the week on Wednesday, then the Nike AIRMAX 1000 in Pure Platinum and Burgundy Crush on Thursday.
Friday has three pairs. The Nike Air Max Goadome comes in Mosswood Brown. The women’s Air Jordan 5 Retro “Sunset” is White, Fire Red and Sunset. The Ja 4 “Deep Water” is Diffused Blue. An hour later the Nike x One Piece apparel goes live: two T-shirts, a short-sleeve jersey and the Nike Fly cap, on a 30-minute timer.
Saturday
The busiest day. The Kobe 3 Protro in Black, Anthracite and Varsity Maize is the most expensive pair of the week at $210. The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG “Garden” lands at the same time, in Black, Summit White and Laser Fuchsia. So does the Air Jordan 40 “14”, in Challenge Red and Vibrant Yellow.
Three pairs at one time means three decisions to make before 10:00am, not at it. We wrote up what to have ready for the two AJ1 Lows separately.
Tuesday 29 September to Thursday 1 October
The Nike Air Bakin High SP on Tuesday and the Nike General Purpose on Wednesday. Thursday closes the week with two colorways of the Caitlin 1. It also brings the second AJ1 Low, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG “Howard” in College Navy, White and University Red.
Where would we put our attention?
On Saturday, and on the two Jordans.
Everything else this week is a pair you can decide on the day before. Saturday is three draws at one time, and the “Garden” and “Howard” are the most recognisable silhouette on the calendar, twice. Set the size and check the card before 10:00am, because two minutes is not long enough to fix either.
Questions people ask
Were these September releases all draws?
Yes, every release listed was a draw. The thirteen shoes were LEO draws, which take entries for about two minutes from 10:00am Eastern with no timer on the page. Friday's Nike x One Piece apparel and the Nike Fly cap are DAN draws on a 30-minute timer.
What time did these September releases go live?
Every shoe goes live at 10:00am Eastern, which is 2:00pm UTC and 7:00am Pacific. The apparel on Friday 25 September goes live an hour later, at 11:00am Eastern. The live calendar shows each release with its date and the length of its draw.
What released on Saturday 26 September 2026?
Three pairs released at 10:00am Eastern. The Kobe 3 Protro in Black and Varsity Maize, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG "Garden", and the Air Jordan 40 "14". It was the busiest day in this calendar.
How long does a LEO draw take entries?
About two minutes once it goes live, and the page shows no timer. Nike then picks winners at random from every entry made in that window and sends the result within minutes, so everything has to be set up before 10:00am.
