This week, Off-White and Jordan Brand deliver a vintage-inspired Air Jordan 2, the long-awaited Nike SB Dunk High Gundam finally releases, and Yeezy expands their boot catalog with another otherworldly design. 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
The following sneakers are the most-traded sneaker releases of the past week on StockX.
adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 MX Oat
It’s official: Yeezy has jumped over the Jumpman – at least for the week. While last week’s top-selling sneaker was the Air Jordan 4 Lightning, the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 MX Oat has now secured the top spot following its release. Regardless of being one of the oldest silhouettes in Yeezys ever-growing line, it’s clear that the Yeezy 350 V2 still reigns as one of the most popular silhouettes on StockX.
adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR Vermillion
Right behind the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 MX Oat, the new all-red adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR Vermillion also put massive numbers on the board. The Vermillion was Yeezy’s first venture with adidas into the triple red stylings of Kanye’s past. Hopefully it isn’t the last, because in terms of sales, the Vermillion had one of the most impressive release weekends out of any Foam RNNR to date.
Most Expensive Sneaker of the Week
The most expensive sneaker of the week is determined by a closed sale in the given time period, meaning that the sneaker was authenticated and confirmed by StockX.
Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October
The release of the adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR Vermillion must have inspired one of our buyers to fully embrace the end of Red October, because a pair of Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red Octobers were bought for a whopping $13,300. What’s even more interesting is that they weren’t alone. Less than five days later, another pair sold for over $12,600. Prior to these two sales, the last trade of a pair was all the way back in August. The Red October effect is real.

Air Jordan 2 Off-White
Virgil Abloh and Jordan Brand continue their collaborative partnership with the vintage-inspired Air Jordan 2 Off-White.
Arriving in both white and black colorways, the Air Jordan 2 Off-White nods to the natural aging process of original Air Jordans. Aesthetic cracking ostensibly from aging are apparent on the design’s sole, where the midsole is artificially yellowed and decayed with translucent material filling the gaps. From there, Off-White’s signature address print on the interior and a Jordan Wings logo on the tongue complete the design.
The Air Jordan 2 Off-White releases on Friday, November 12th for $250 on the SNKRS app and in select stores.

Nike SB Dunk High RX-0 Unicorn Gundam
Nike SB and Japanese anime franchise Gundam are celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the novel Mobile Suit Unicorn Gundam with a mobile suit-inspired Nike SB Dunk High.
The Nike SB Dunk High RX-0 Unicorn Gundam draws its inspiration from the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, a prominent fixture in the novel. Its paneled leather construction resembles body plates on the Unicorn’s mobile suit. From there, a Unicorn insignia on the heel and a yellow interchangeable Swoosh completes the design.
The Nike SB Dunk High RX-0 Unicorn Gundam releases on Wednesday, November 10th for $110 on the SNKRS app and in select skate shops. If you are interested in the corresponding Nike SB x Gundam action figures, click here.

adidas Yeezy Knit RNR Boot Sulfur
If you thought that last week’s Yeezy NSLTD Boot was abstract, the adidas Yeezy Knit RNR Boot Sulfur will have you floored.
With a cast-like construction, the adidas Yeezy Knit RNR Boot Sulfur looks like something your doctor might recommend after an ankle sprain. Its woven collar features a two-way velcro enclosure that is guaranteed to keep your feet snug and secure. As far as the colorway, the base of the Knit RNR Boot mimics the original Knit RNR Sulfur, a low-top slip-on Yeezy that debuted earlier this fall.
The adidas Yeezy Knit RNR Boot Sulfur releases on Saturday, November 13th for $250 on the adidas CONFIRMED app and in select retailers.

Air Jordan 12 Royalty Taxi
Jordan adds a subtle twist to a renowned colorway for the Air Jordan 12 Royalty Taxi.
At first glance, the Air Jordan 12 Royalty Taxi looks very similar to the classic Air Jordan 12 Taxi. It features a white paneled leather upper with textural black mudguards and woven heel tabs. Where the Royalty differentiates itself is in its metallic detailing. On each lateral side, metallic gold Jumpman plaquettes rise to prominence, complementing hits of gold on the eyelets and tongue embroidery.
The Air Jordan 12 Royalty Taxi releases on Saturday, November 13th for $190 on the SNKRS app and in select stores.

Round Two co-founder Sean Wotherspoon and adidas continue their efforts toward sustainability with the adidas Superturf Adventure Sean Wotherspoon Grey.

Beneath the shoe’s responsive adiPRENE+ midsole, a TRAXION tread underfoot is geared for mud and rock resistance. In case you run out of storage, the design includes an external cargo pocket that connects to the tongue.
The adidas Superturf Adventure Sean Wotherspoon Grey releases on Friday, November 12th for $160 on the adidas CONFIRMED app and in select retailers.

Air Jordan 13 Low Singles’ Day
Jordan Brand celebrates this year’s Singles’ Day with an Air Jordan 13 Low that will keep you fresh regardless of your relationship status.
Taking influence from cyberpunk and its futuristic technology, the Air Jordan 13 Low Singles’ Day features a tumbled black leather and geometrically quilted Barely Green Durabuck upper that reveals a hidden code when exposed to sunlight. Jumpman logos on the heels, microchip graphics on the insole, and a semi-translucent outsole add the finishing touches to this futuristic design.

New Balance 992 Low Hanging Fruit
Boston-based boutique CONCEPTS and New Balance joined forces to honor pioneering fruit seller Frieda Rapoport Caplan, also known as the “Kiwi Queen”, with the New Balance 992 Low Hanging Fruit.
In the 1990s, the entrepreneurial spirit of Frieda Rapoport Caplan helped the kiwi become the most celebrated exotic commercial fruit. In commemoration of this history, the New Balance 992 Low Hanging Fruit takes cues from the kiwi with its hairy brown suede upper with hits of neon green. A strawberry graphic foot bed nods to the intertwining relationship of the two fruits.
The New Balance 992 Low Hanging Fruit releases on Friday, November 12th for $240 exclusively at CONCEPTS Boston and New York locations, and at BODEGA LA.
