Jordan 11 cool grey best new sneakers releasing

Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey (2021)

For the second week in a row, the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey (2021) is the most popular sneaker of the week on StockX. Demand for the Cool Grey has taken the market by storm and is sending the release into record-setting territory. The Cool Grey now holds the title for the biggest sneaker release in StockX history in terms of release weekend trades.

Not only did the adult release of the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey (2021) dominate the trade boards, so did the grade school version. The kids Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey came in right behind the adult version, and ahead of releases that consistently make our leaderboard, like the Air Force 1 Low White. Whether buyers are purchasing kids Cool Greys as an investment or for their children, they are selling in record numbers ahead of the holiday.

Most Expensive Sneaker of the Week

Nike SB Dunk Low Staple NYC Pigeon

The Cool Grey wasn’t the only sneaker to set a record on StockX this week. In the last week, a pair of the Nike SB Dunk Low Staple NYC Pigeons sold at a historical high of $38,000. Considering that the Nike SB Dunk Low Staple Pigeon NYC was the release to raise SB Dunk mania to global attention, it’s clear that they are among the most valuable SBs of all time, historically and monetarily.

Air Jordan 1 High Atmosphere (W)

Jordan Brand continues to roll out their Holiday 2021 collection with the women’s exclusive Air Jordan 1 High Atmosphere (W).

The women’s Air Jordan 1 High Atmosphere follows the classic Black Toe color blocking format with a white and dark navy leather upper. Light pink patent leather on the ankle and vamp nods to the pink bubblegum that Michael Jordan chewed throughout his time on the hardwood. Woven Nike tongue labels and a signature Jordan Wings logo draw inspiration from the original 1985 Jordan 1 design. Plus, if you’re looking for a more affordable version of the Air Jordan 1 Rust Pink, this is a great substitute. 

The women’s Air Jordan 1 High Atmosphere releases on Wednesday, December 22nd for $170 on the SNKRS app and in select Jordan retailers.
