Find out which sneaker releases are the most popular, most expensive, and which are coming your way in this latest installment of The Drop List.
Best Sneakers This Week
Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey
After four weeks, the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey is still the most traded sneaker of the week on StockX. This is the longest time period that we have seen a sneaker dominate the market since the 2020 Air Jordan 11 Jubilee, and there are no signs of slowing down.
adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Beluga Reflective
Entering the mix this week behind the Cool Grey is the adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Beluga Reflective. Following its release, the Beluga Reflective has shown a stellar performance in both sales premium and total trades, which should be no surprise considering the original Beluga’s reputation as one of the most renowned Yeezy 350 V2 colorways of all time.
Most Expensive Sneaker This Week
Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October
Last appearing on our list back in October of 2021, the Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October is back as the most expensive sneaker of the week with a closed sale price of just above $14,000. The Red October is a monument in sneaker culture, and considering its rarity and age, prices should only go up from here.
Best Sneakers Releasing This Week
Air Jordan 13 Court Purple
Jordan Brand adds their Court Purple colorway, previously seen on the Air Jordan 1, to the Jordan 13 for the Air Jordan 13 Court Purple.
The Air Jordan 13 Court Purple could serve as an “away” or dark variation of the 2019 Air Jordan 13 Lakers. In a similar styling, it features a black reflective textile and Court Purple Durabuck upper with a tumbled leather toe wrap and classic Jumpman hologram. A matching midsole and sculptural outsole complete the retro design.
The Air Jordan 13 Court Purple releases on Saturday, January 8th for $190 on the SNKRS app and in select Jordan retailers.
Nike ACG Air Mowabb Trails End Brown
Nike brings back the Tinker Hatfield-designed Nike ACG Air Mowabb Trails End Brown in celebration of its 30th Anniversary.
While the Nike ACG Air Mowabb Trails End Brown does arrive in its original brown and violet color scheme, its construction is updated to maximize comfort and durability. The inner bootie and collar are made of a softer and stretchier material than before so that the shoe is easy to slip on and off. Also, the foam midsole is a bit more cushioned to withstand long days on the trails.
The Nike ACG Air Mowabb Trails End Brown releases on Wednesday, January 5th for $160 on the SNKRS app and in select stores.
Nike LeBron 19 Christmas
Even though the holidays are officially over, the Nike LeBron 19 Christmas is bringing holiday cheer into the new year.
Constructed with a greenish-blue mesh upper, the Nike LeBron 19 Christmas carries the spirit of a Colorado Blue Spruce, a common species of Christmas tree. Semi-translucent TPU overlays and a festive Swoosh graphic on the ankle nod to the bright lights that are often used as tree decorations. At the base, a speckled midsole and full-length Air units add the finishing touches.
The Nike LeBron 19 Christmas releases on Tuesday, January 4th for $200 on the SNKRS app and in select retailers.
Air Jordan 6 Low Atmosphere (GS)
Jordan expands their kids collection with the Air Jordan 6 Low Atmosphere (GS).
With color blocking similar to the Air Jordan 6 Carmine, the Air Jordan 6 Low Atmosphere (GS) is composed of a pink Durabuck and smooth white leather upper with a muted black tongue. Sharp hits of Infrared on the midsole and tongue add contrast to the design’s faint palette.
The kids Air Jordan 6 Low Atmosphere (GS) releases on Monday, January 3rd for $120 on the Nike website and in select stores.
