Best Sneakers This Week
adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Core Black White
Following its first-ever restock, the adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Core Black White is the most traded sneaker on StockX in the past week. A restock with added supply has been good news for buyers who have been waiting for prices to become more affordable. From one week prior to its restock until now, resale prices for the Yeezy 350 V2 Core Black White have dropped by almost 50%, a sign that the Yeezy Restock Effect is here to stay.
Air Jordan 12 Playoffs
Dominating the sales charts for the second week in a row, the Air Jordan 12 Playoffs are still in high demand. In just two weeks on the market, the shoe is already the third most-traded Jordan 12 in the past year, and on the path to become one of the biggest Jordan releases of 2022.
Most Expensive Sneaker This Week
Air Jordan 1 Shinedown Attention Attention PE
While it may not get the recognition it deserves, the Air Jordan 1 Shinedown Attention Attention PE is one of the rarest Air Jordans of all time. This PE was originally gifted to the American rock band Shinedown in celebration of their 2018 album Attention Attention. While it’s true the album is an RIAA certified gold record, the Jordan 1 Shinedown PE recently went platinum on StockX after posting a sale of almost $14,000, becoming the most expensive sneaker of the week.
Best Sneakers Releasing This Week
Air Jordan 1 High ’85 Georgetown
Jordan Brand celebrates the 40th Anniversary of Michael Jordan’s 1982 NCAA title win over the Georgetown Bulldogs by bringing back the original 1985 Air Jordan 1 silhouette in his former opponent-turned-partner’s school colors.
Drawing inspiration from the Nike Terminator Georgetown, the Air Jordan 1 High ’85 Georgetown features a classic two-tone color-blocked look, with a smooth grey leather upper and College Navy overlays. A yellowed nylon tongue with a woven Nike label nods to the appeal of vintage 1985 Jordan 1s. At the base, a white and navy air sole completes the design.
The Air Jordan 1 High ’85 Georgetown releases on Saturday, April 2nd for $200 on the SNKRS app and in select Jordan retailers.
Nike Dunk Low Union LA Passport Pack
Following last month’s release of the Nike Dunk Low Union LA Passport Pack Pistachio, Nike delivers the rest of the Union LA Passport Pack with Argon and Court Purple colorways.
Both the Argon and Court Purple colorways commemorate Chris Gibbs’ rarest Dunk pick-ups from his travels to Japan in the early 2000s. The Nike Dunk Low Union LA Passport Pack Argon takes cues from the 2001 Nike Dunk Low CO.JP Argon, while the Court Purple draws a resemblance to the 1999 Nike Dunk High CO.JP City Pack. Each design arrives with a smooth leather construction that is wrapped in a tear-away, semi-translucent ripstop nylon covering. From there, a Union LA Frontman logo on the heel and “UN|LA” quarter panel tabs add the finishing touch.
The Nike Dunk Low Union LA Passport Pack releases on Thursday, March 31st for $150 at Union LA.
Nike Blazer Low sacai Patent Leather Pack
Nike and Japanese label sacai add some shimmer to their catalog with the Nike Blazer Low sacai Patent Leather Pack.
Arriving in White and Black colorways, the Nike Blazer Low sacai Patent Leather Pack refreshes sacai’s signature Blazer Low with a glossy patent leather construction. Doubled tongues, eyestays, and laces emphasize sacai’s focus on reconstruction and abstract design. Finally, a stacked midsole provides an avant-garde flair.
The Nike Blazer Low sacai Patent Leather Pack releases on Thursday, March 31st for $120 on the SNKRS app and in select retailers.
Nike Halloween Pack (2021)
Seeing multiple Halloween-themed shoes release on April 1st might seem like an April Fools’ Day joke to many, but it isn’t. After several delays, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Purple Skeleton, Nike Dunk Low PRM Halloween, and the women’s Nike Air Max 90 Siempre Familia (W) are all finally releasing this week.
All three designs in the Halloween Pack feature signature motifs that are synonymous with the holiday. Similar to the white, black, and orange AF1 Skeletons of years past, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Purple Skeleton nods to skeletons with x-ray bone graphics on both lateral and medial sides. The Nike Dunk Low PRM Halloween evokes the classic palette of Jack-O-Lanterns with a Sail, black, and orange leather construction plus glow-in-the-dark detailing. Lastly, the Air Max 90 Siempre Familia (W) honors the Mexican holiday, Día de Muertos, with fabrication inspired by the Xoloescuincle, the guide of the afterlife.
The Nike Halloween Pack (2021) releases on Friday, April 1st for $130 on the SNKRS app and in select shops.
Nike Air Force 1 Low Flax
Right on schedule with the change of the seasons, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Flax is making its annual return.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low Flax pays unofficial homage to the classic wheat Timberland work boot with its monochromatic flax suede uppers and overlays. Boot styled two-tone rope laces and top eyelets with metal grommets provide functionality and a rugged appeal. At the base, a matching flax Air sole is geared for daily wear and tear.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low Flax releases on Friday, April 1st for $130 on the SNKRS app and in select retailers.
