Best Sneaker This Week

Nike Air Humara x Jacquemus

This easily coveted collection between Nike and Paris-based label Jacquemus gave birth to a refreshing, yet vintage version of the Nike Air Humara. And what this look lacks in sport, it makes up for in luxury. The Jacquemus x Nike Air Humara Beige is inspired by the ACG silhouette with a super-clean, luxe-fall reimagination. Alongside its Ale Brown and Gold counterpart (and a lineage of apparel and accessories), this shoe is all about the luxe touch. From the textile-wrapped midsole to the exaggerated lace tips and bold metal Swoosh, the duo left no crumbs.

Finally, the Nike Air cushioning in the heel and forefoot will leave heads turning as you so effortlessly glide through the bustling city streets in the Air Humara x Jacquemus.

Most Expensive Sneaker

Air Yeezy 2

The Air Yeezy 2 continues to make waves as one of sneaker culture’s most coveted pair of sneakers. This pair in particular was the last silhouette to drop between Kanye West and Nike before the multi hyphenated artist moved on to work with adidas. One major feature that was added to all of Mr. West’s Nike sneakers was the glow-in-the-dark outsole. Coming in at a whopping £5,878 this week, these are truly a pair of sneakers that will continue to appreciate over time as Ye continues to build his sneaker empire.

Best Sneakers Releasing This Week

Nike Air Force 1 x Off-White Brooklyn

Shining bright as ever, the Virgil Abloh legacy lives on. You can’t miss it. The Nike Air Force 1 x Off White explores communication through design in a bold, monochromatic Light Green Spark garb. The AF1 has an unmistakable source of power, as it boasts Green and Silver detailing with the exposed foam tongue and zip tie of Virgil’s coveted signature style. The unforgettable OFF-WHITE branding is complemented by Metallic Nike Swooshes for that extra spark of energy to get you through the day.
