Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 White

The classics are classics for a reason: they are always in demand. In the past week, Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 White has climbed the charts to become the most popular sneaker of the week. This shouldn’t come as a surprise being that the all-white AF1 is the most sold sneaker in StockX history and has held this top spot in the past numerous times.

Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder

Ever since its release in mid-January, the Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder has been one of the most sold sneakers on StockX. Its colorway is heavily influenced by the Air Jordan 4 Thunder, a renowned colorway from 2006 that is still one of the most sought after out of the Jordan 4 releases from that year.

Best Sneakers Releasing This Week

Air Jordan 1 Dark Marina Blue

If you are a fan of the original Air Jordan 1 Royal, the Air Jordan 1 Dark Marina Blue might be the shoe for you.

The Air Jordan 1 High Dark Marina Blue arrives made up of a smooth black leather upper with Dark Marina Blue overlays and Swooshes. On the ankle wrap, a black Jordan Wings logo pays homage to the origins of the Air Jordan line. From there, a contrasting white and blue Air sole completes the design.

The Air Jordan 1 Dark Marina Blue releases on Wednesday, February 16th for $170 on the SNKRS app and in select Jordan retailers.

adidas Yeezy 350 V2 CMPCT Slate Red

Yeezy adds a second colorway to its newest Yeezy 350 silhouette with the adidas Yeezy 350 V2 CMPCT Slate Red.

The adidas Yeezy 350 V2 CMPCT Slate Red brings out major Red October vibes with its vibrant Slate Red Primeknit upper. Brown undertones throughout the forefoot add a subtle contrast, emphasizing the design’s knit structure. At the base, a red, semi-translucent Boost sole provides the model’s renowned cushioning and support.

The adidas Yeezy 350 V2 CMPCT Slate Red releases on Thursday, February 17th for $220 on the adidas CONFIRMED app and in select shops.

Nike Dunk Low Siempre Familia

Originally scheduled to release for Halloween 2021, the Nike Dunk Low Siempre Familia is finally here.

The Nike Dunk Low Siempre Familia draws inspiration from Mictlān, the underworld in Aztec mythology that consists of nine layers, similar to Dante Alighieri’s Inferno. Its tonal green reptilian-textural upper and Iguana heel illustration symbolize the inhabitants of the 8th and 9th levels of Mictlān. A decorative multicolor Swoosh displays palettes and graphic styles commonly associated with Día de Muertos, the Mexican Day of the Dead.

The Nike Dunk Low Siempre Familia releases on Thursday, February 17th for $120 on the SNKRS app and in select retailers.

Air Jordan 3 Cardinal Red

Jordan Brand brings an OG Air Jordan 7 colorway to the Air Jordan 3 for the Air Jordan 3 Cardinal Red.

Constructed with white tumbled leather and signature Elephant Print overlays, the Air Jordan 3 Cardinal Red takes a traditional approach in its color blocking and fabrication, similar to the iconic Black Cement 3s. Spicing up the design, sharp Cardinal Red midsoles and detailing pop against the neutral-toned upper. Bright orange Jumpman logo embroidery on the tongue adds the finishing touch.

The Air Jordan 3 Cardinal Red releases on Saturday, February 19th for $200 on the SNKRS app and in select shops.

Nike LeBron 9 Big Bang

Debuted during the 2012 NBA All-Star Weekend, the Nike LeBron 9 Big Bang returns just in time for its 10th Anniversary.

Paying tribute to the Kennedy Space Center in Orlando, which was the host city of the 2012 All-Star Weekend, the Nike LeBron 9 Big Bang embraces an interstellar theme. Its bright orange mesh upper nods to fiery explosions that take place during a space shuttle’s lift-off. Metallic silver detailing depicts astronaut suits. Similar to clusters of stars in the solar system, the semi-translucent outsole glows in the dark.

The Nike LeBron 9 Big Bang releases on Friday, February 18th for $240 on the SNKRS app and in select retailers.

Puma MB.01 Rick and Morty

The Puma MB.01 receives its first collaboration courtesy of LaMelo Ball’s favorite Adult Swim cartoon, Rick and Morty.

Sporting a mismatched neon two-tone look, the Puma MB.01 Rick and Morty draws inspiration from the otherworldly adventures of Rick and Morty. The left shoe features a slime green palette, while the right shoe is smothered in the neon red tones. On the back of the tongues, illustrations of both Rick and Morty contribute a customized feel.

The Puma MB.01 Rick and Morty releases on Thursday, February 17th for $135 on the Puma website and in select stores.

Nike Air Force 1 Low LXX Serena Summit White (W)

You can’t go wrong with a clean pair of all-white Forces. Especially when it’s in a collaboration with the Queen of Sport herself, Serena Williams.

The women’s Nike Air Force 1 Low LXX Serena Summit White takes a luxurious approach to the classic Air Force 1. With a premium tumbled leather construction, this design ditches a traditional lacing system for a sleek lace shroud with a golden zipper enclosure. Instead of a Swoosh overlay, the Serena AF1 utilizes a nouveau stylized Swoosh. At the heel, a golden autograph from the champ herself is prominently embroidered.

The women’s Nike Air Force 1 Low LXX Serena Summit White releases on Thursday, February 17th for $130 on the SNKRS app and in select Nike retailers.
