Black Friday is almost here! In addition to all of the festivities happening on StockX this week, A Ma Maniére and Jordan Brand are releasing a collaborative Air Jordan 1, Yeezy is restocking one of its fan-favorite Yeezy 500s, and Patta is unleashing another Nike Air Max 1 Waves colorway. 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 12 Royalty Taxi
Living up to its name, the Air Jordan 12 Royalty Taxi claimed the throne this week as it became the most traded sneaker on StockX. In terms of total trades, the Royalty Taxi had one of the best release weekends of any Jordan in 2021. Quite a regal performance.
Nike Dunk Low Georgetown
As holiday shopping continues, the Nike Dunk Low Georgetown has resurfaced as one of the most popular sneakers in the past week. It’s understandable that a Dunk Low in a classic collegiate colorway would be at the top of many wish lists, it was one of the most popular Nike silhouettes of the past two years.
Most Expensive Sneaker This Week
Air Jordan 1 High Dior
Red October is officially over, for now. After two weeks of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October claiming the most expensive moniker, the Air Jordan 1 High Dior has taken over this week with the closing of a whopping $7,800 sale. While this closing price might seem massive, it is actually much lower than what the Dior Jordan 1 High was selling for shortly after its 2020 release, which was in the $10,000 to $12,000 range.

Air Jordan 1 A Ma Maniére
Earlier this year, A Ma Maniére and Jordan Brand proved themselves to be the latest dynamic duo with their Air Jordan 3. But even after releasing arguably one of the best sneakers of 2021, they aren’t done yet. The two companies have joined forces once again to offer a luxe take on the classic Air Jordan 1 with the Air Jordan 1 A Ma Maniére.
Like their Jordan 3, Air Jordan 1 A Ma Maniére pulls out all the stops in its construction. Its upper is composed of premium Sail suede with burgundy reptilian-textural leather collars and Swooshes. Silky quilted lining and custom woven tongue and insole labels add a sense of luxury. At the base, a yellowed sole provides a vintage feel to complete the design.
The Air Jordan 1 A Ma Maniére releases on Wednesday, November 24th for $200 on the A Ma Maniére website.
