Best Sneakers This Week

adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Bone

For the second week in a row, a Yeezy Boost 350 V2 has topped the sales charts on StockX. Last week, the Yeezy 350 V2 Black Core White reigned supreme, but now, the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Bone has taken the top spot. Similar to the Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 White, the most popular shoe in StockX history, the 350 V2 Bone utilizes a white monochromatic palette, making it a viable choice for an everyday shoe.

Nike Dunk Low Black White

Following a massive restock, the Nike Dunk Low Black White has noticed an influx of trades and is now among the most traded sneakers of the week once again. Not only is this Panda colorway the most popular Dunk of all-time on StockX, but it is the second most sold sneaker in the past year, trailing only the Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 White.

Most Expensive Sneaker This Week

Nike Air Yeezy 2 Black Solar Red

Not only is Yeezy the most popular this week, but it is also the most expensive. A pair of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 Black Solar Red sold for a whopping sum of  $9,750 to become the most expensive sneaker of the week. With deadstock supply diminishing every year for this ten-year-old shoe, we anticipate that its value will continue to shoot towards the moon.

Best Sneakers Releasing This Week

Nike Blazer Low Off-White Pack

Nike releases Virgil Abloh’s first posthumous design with the Nike Blazer Low Off-White Pack.

Arriving in both White and Black colorways, the Nike Blazer Low Off-White Pack boasts a multi-disciplinary, multi-sport aesthetic – a central motif in Virgil Abloh’s body of work. Encompassing aspects of basketball, skateboarding, and trail running silhouettes, the Off-White Blazer Low fuses an Air Terra Humara TPU heel piece with a classic vulcanized sole for a unique base. On the leather upper, punched-out holes are scattered, similar to the Air Jordan 5 Off-White. An accented over-lacing system, exposed foam tongue, zip tie tag, and Swoosh tab all add Off-White’s signature detailing to this modified classic.

The Nike Blazer Low Off-White Pack releases on Friday, April 8th for $140 on the SNKRS app and in select Nike retailers.

adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Zebra

Yeezy continues to restock its first run of 350 V2s with the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Zebra.

Known as one of the most renowned colorways in the Yeezy line, the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Zebra returns in its original form. It features a white and black marbled Primeknit upper with a white side-stripe and red “SPLY-350” text. At the base, a cushioned Boost sole provides comfort and support.

The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Zebra releases on Friday, April 8th for $220 on the adidas CONFIRMED app and in select shops.

Air Jordan 5 Retro Jade Horizon

Jordan Brand highlights the worn-in look of Jordan 5s with the Air Jordan 5 Jade Horizon.

The Air Jordan 5 Jade Horizon features a Jade Horizon leather upper with seemingly oxidized TPU netted inserts, eyestays, and lace-locks for a broken-in look. A black midsole with Cement shark-teeth detailing pays homage to the original Air Jordan 5 Metallic. Although this Jordan 5 is brand new, it ditches the icy, semi-translucent outsole most new Jordan 5s come equipped with for a yellowed one, emphasizing the aged aesthetic.

The Air Jordan 5 Jade Horizon releases on Saturday, April 9th for $190 on the SNKRS app and in select Jordan retailers.

Nike Dunk Low Union LA Passport Pack Argon

Following its Union LA-exclusive release, the Nike Dunk Low Union LA Passport Pack Argon is finally releasing globally.

As part of Passport Pack, the Nike Dunk Low Union LA Argon references Chris Gibb’s rare pick-ups from his travels, specifically the Japanese-exclusive 2001 Nike Dunk Low CO.JP Argon. Cloaked in a ripstop overlay, the base of the upper is constructed with smooth leather that can be exposed with some DIY customization. Union LA Frontman logos on the heel and “UN|LA” quarter panel tabs add the finishing touch.

The Nike Dunk Low Union LA Argon releases on Thursday, April 7th for $150 on the SNKRS app.

Nike Dunk High FLS (W)

Nike adds a metallic look to their women’s Dunk line with the Nike Dunk High FLS (W).

Constructed of white tumbled leather and grey “matte leather”, the women’s Nike Dunk High FLS (W) has a neutral-toned base that accentuates its striking, color-shifting enamel Swooshes. Next, metallic silver Swoosh lace jewels bring a decorative flair. From there, a white and grey Air sole complements the upper.

The women’s Nike Dunk High FLS (W) releases on Wednesday, April 6th for $120 on the SNKRS app and in select stores.

Nike Dunk High Vintage Black (W)

If you missed out on the Nike Dunk Low Panda, the Nike Dunk High Vintage Black (W) is a valid substitute. 

Just like the Pandas that clocked in as one of the “Best Sneakers of the Week” above, the women’s Nike Dunk High Vintage Black (W) features a classic two-toned black and white leather upper. But, instead of crispy white soles and laces, the Vintage Black opts for a yellowed, aged look that makes the shoe look as if it was preserved from 1985.

The women’s Nike Dunk High Vintage Black (W) releases on Thursday, April 7th for $125 on the SNKRS app and in select retailers.
