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
For the second week in a row, the Air Jordan 12 Royalty Taxi has claimed the throne of the most sold sneaker on StockX in the past week. It’s hard to go wrong picking up a classic colorway for a loved one this holiday season, so it makes sense to see the Taxi soar in sales leading up to Black Friday.
Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey
Another Air Jordan that has been at the top of the sales charts is the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey. Despite the fact that a wide release isn’t slated for a few more weeks, since its shock drop in mid-November, the Cool Grey has been a consistent presence in our top five most sold sneakers. We anticipate that once the colorway officially releases in December, it will climb to the top spot with ease.
Most Expensive Sneaker
Nike Mag Back to the Future BTTF
In the past week, we have seen a burst of trades for the iconic Nike Mag Back to the Future BTTF (2011). Two of these extremely scarce pairs closed at an average resale price of a whopping $17,000, proving the designs staying power amongst the most expensive sneakers on StockX.

adidas Yeezy QNTM Amber Tint
Alongside the adidas Yeezy 500 Ash Grey, Yeezy is also adding a new flavor to their QNTM line with the adidas Yeezy QNTM Amber Tint.
At a glance, the adidas Yeezy QNTM Amber Tint draws a subtle comparison to the adidas Yeezy QNTM Flash Orange that was released earlier this year. While similar tones and color blocking are apparent, the Primeknit upper of the Amber Tint is less saturated, carrying pale orange tones throughout the marbled design.

adidas Forum Low Home Alone
Trailing the release of Home Sweet Home Alone, adidas teamed up with Disney to release an adidas Forum Low inspired by the adidas Phantoms that Macaulay Culkin’s character, Kevin, wears in the original 1990 film Home Alone.
The adidas Forum Low Home Alone nods to the assorted booby traps that Kevin sets in order to protect his family’s home from the Wet Bandits. Black burn marks throughout the white leather upper allude to Kevin’s blow torch trap, the medallion emblem on the heel represents the McCallister scorching doorknob, and the orange heel tabs depict the tripwire Kevin uses throughout the movie to slow down the bandits. Additionally, extra sock liners with imagery of the movie’s main characters are included.
The adidas Forum Low Home Alone releases on Wednesday, December 1st for $110 on the adidas website and in select retailers.
