Best Sneakers This Week

New Balance 550 White Grey

We are halfway through 2022 and among all of the buzzing New Balance sneakers released so far, the New Balance 550 White Grey is by far the most popular. The New Balance 550 White Grey is the most sold New Balance shoe in 2022 by a landslide – it has almost twice the amount of total trades as the second best-selling New Balance, the New Balance 530 White Navy. With a clean colourway and versatile silhouette, this 550 is a viable daily driver and inclusive of all styles.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70s Hi CDG Play Black

Taking a look into Converse’s mid-year numbers, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70s Hi CDG Play Black is the most-traded Converse of the year. Since 2009, the ongoing collaboration between Converse and Comme des Garçons PLAY has created some of the most prevalent sneakers in street culture. Featuring the signature heart logo designed by Polish artist Filip Pagoswki, the CDG Play Chuck Taylor is a staple in their collection and is frequently re-released.

Most Expensive Sneaker This Week

Air Jordan 2 Eminem (The Way I Am)

Last week, a pair of the unreleased Air Jordan 2 Eminem (The Way I Am) surfaced and sold for a whopping $7,850. While this price might not be as impressive as a $23,000 sale for the Air Jordan 4 Eminem Carhartt, this trade does make the Eminem Jordan 2 the most expensive Air Jordan 2 of all time.
