Nike Dunk Low White Black

A massive wave of global restocks has kept the Nike Dunk Low White Black one of the most popular sneakers for two consecutive weeks. If these restocks keep happening, the Dunk Low could take the spot of the Nike Air Force 1 Low Whites as the most traded sneaker in StockX history.

Air Jordan 1 fragment (Friends & Family)

Best Sneakers Releasing This Week

adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR Sulfur

Yeezy expands their Foam RNNR line with the adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR Sulfur.

Constructed with a blend of EVA foam and recycled materials, adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR Sulfur arrives in an identical build to prior Foam RNNRs. Oval cut openings throughout the neutral-toned design create a sculptural look while providing ventilation. At the base, a cushioned footbed offers comfort and support.

The adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR Sulfur releases on Saturday, April 16th for $90 on the adidas CONFIRMED app and in select stores.

Nike SB Dunk Low Polaroid

Nike SB and world-famous camera maker, Polaroid, teamed up for the Nike SB Dunk Low Polaroid.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Polaroid draws inspiration from the color spectrum found in Polaroid’s logo and the casing of its instant film. Atop a black Durabuck upper, a triple-layered Swoosh creates a rainbow effect by cleverly overlapping blue and red patent leather Swooshes with a yellow transparent Swoosh. At the heel, white patent leather nods to the composition of Polaroid’s instant film. From there, color spectrum embroidery on the toe and co-branded embroidery at the heel complete the design.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Polaroid releases on Tuesday, April 12th for $120 on the SNKRS app and in select skate shops.

Air Jordan 7 SE Sapphire

Jordan Brand celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the Air Jordan 7 with the Air Jordan 7 SE Sapphire.

The Air Jordan 7 SE Sapphire features a Shimmer leather and Durabuck upper with semi-transparent mesh paneling that reveals its dazzling bright blue and pink interior. At the collar, a Jumpman logo and layered ankle padding commemorate the original Air Jordan 7 design. Lastly, a grey speckled midsole and muted translucent outsole add the finishing touches.

The Air Jordan 7 SE Sapphire releases on Saturday, April 16th for $210 on the SNKRS app and in select Jordan retailers.

Converse Aeon Active CX A-COLD-WALL Healing Jade

Converse and A-COLD-WALL teamed up to push the boundaries of conventional sneaker design with the limited edition Converse Aeon Active CX A-COLD-WALL Healing Jade.

The Converse Aeon Active CX A-COLD-WALL Healing Jade introduces a unique, perforated leather and suede stretch bootie construction and an exaggerated heel kick for a smooth entry. In the sole, an innovative combination of CX foam and Crater foam provides durability for daily wear. This is about as far from a pair of Chuck Taylors as you could get. Leave it to A-COLD-WALL to help even the most established brands push boundaries.

The Converse Aeon Active CX A-COLD-WALL Healing Jade releases on Tuesday, April 12th for $160 on the SNKRS app and in select stores.

Nike Air Trainer 1 Utility SP Light Smoke Grey

Nike explores utilitarian design with the Nike Air Trainer 1 Utility SP Light Smoke Grey.

Between its heavy-duty canvas straps, reflective 3M detailing, and reinforced ripstop paneling, it’s clear that the Nike Air Trainer 1 Utility SP Light Smoke Grey boasts a utilitarian aesthetic. Its neutral palette of Light Smoke Grey and light brown emphasize its construction, while also highlighting light green and yellow overlays. A pale yellow and purple Air sole tributes the original Air Trainer 1 design.

The Nike Air Trainer 1 Utility SP Light Smoke Grey releases on Thursday, April 14th for $150 on the SNKRS app and in select Nike retailers.
