To kick off February, Jordan Brand celebrates the Chinese New Year with an Air Jordan 6 Low, Yeezy adds a new colorway to the 700 MNVN collection, and Puma delivers a Charlotte Hornets themed MB.01. Find out which sneaker releases are the most popular, which are the most expensive, and which are coming your way in this latest installment of The Drop List.
Best Sneakers This Week
Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder
For the second week in a row, the Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder has held the top spot as the most popular sneaker on StockX. While Jordan Brand’s recent drought of new releases has directed demand to the Red Thunder and some of last year’s top releases, we expect the Red Thunder to endure more competition with February and All-Star Weekend approaching, as we anticipate releases with enough firepower to climb the ranks.
Air Jordan 1 Patent Bred
Similar to the Red Thunder, the Air Jordan 1 Patent Bred is still one of the most traded sneakers on the market, despite releasing over a month ago. The Patent Bred’s timeless styling has helped it become a must-have item for those who want a pair of Bred 1s without creasing their wallet.
Most Expensive Sneaker This Week
Nike Mag Back to the Future (2016)
Another week, another record set. One week after the Nike SB Dunk Low Paris broke its own record for the most expensive sale in StockX history, the Nike Mag Back to the Future (2016) has now claimed that title. The latest iteration of the Nike Mag sold at a historical high of $65,000, proving that this design is more of a museum-worthy artifact than a wearable sneaker. You could wear them in a flex for the ages, but you would be devaluing your investment.

Air Jordan 6 Low Chinese New Year
In honor of the Chinese New Year, Jordan Brand continues its annual celebratory collection with the Air Jordan 6 Low Chinese New Year.
At first glance, the Air Jordan 6 Low Chinese New Year is reminiscent of the 2012 Air Jordan 6 Golden Moments Pack. It features a white leather upper with perforated panels and gold detailing. On the interior, a marbled print of tiger camouflage commemorates the Year of the Tiger. A golden midsole atop an icy translucent outsole adds the finishing touch to this regal design.
The Air Jordan 6 Low Chinese New Year releases on Friday, February 4th for $200 on the SNKRS app and in select Jordan retailers.

Puma MB.01 Buzz City
Puma adds a Charlotte Hornets inspired colorway to LaMelo Ball’s debut signature line with the Puma MB.01 Buzz City.
Taking its name and palette from the Charlotte Hornet’s City Edition uniforms, the Puma MB.01 Buzz City arrives in a black knit upper with turquoise wings embroidery surrounding the collar. On the tongue, a decorative “1” illustration is stylized identically like Ball’s distinctive chest tattoo. At the base, a sculptural black sole with Nitro Foam technology is a perfect match for hoopers with explosive play styles.
