Best Sneaker This Week
Nike Blazer Mid ’77 White Black
For more than two years running, the Nike Blazer Mid ’77 White Black has maintained its position as the best-selling Nike Blazer in StockX history. This model has been a staple in Nike’s collection, but constant reissues seem to have not impacted its demand. Not only is it the most traded Blazer, but in the past year, it is the 10th best-selling Nike shoe overall on StockX.
New Balance RC30 Donald Glover
In a world where celebrity collaborations are frequently just retro silhouettes with refreshed palettes and fabrication, it’s important to acknowledge collabs that step outside of the box and deliver something new. The New Balance RC30 Donald Glover might feel like a vintage 1970s track shoe that is getting its first retro, but it isn’t. It’s an entirely new silhouette with a charm of its own.
Most Expensive Sneaker This Week
Nike Air Force 1 Louis Vuitton White
For the second week in a row, a pair of Nike Air Force 1 Louis Vuittons has topped the charts as the most expensive trade of the week, with the all-white Nike Air Force 1 Louis Vuitton White selling for just under $10,000. Louis Vuitton Air Force 1s now account for two of the three most expensive AF1s of all time on StockX, in terms of the average sale price.

Nike SB looks to the baseball diamond for inspiration with two new iterations of the Nike SB Dunk.
Arriving in both SB Dunk High and Low models, the Nike SB MLB Pack utilizes palettes closely affiliated with two of baseball’s most well-known organizations, the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. The Nike SB Dunk High New York Mets features a Cloud Grey canvas upper with matching suede overlays, popping Rush Blue and Team Orange Swooshes, and woven tongue labels with graphics referencing the MTA’s 7 train to Queens and NYC’s moniker “The Big Apple”. The other colorway in the pack, the Nike SB Dunk Low Philadelphia Phillies (officially known as Valour Blue), boasts a Valor blue Durabuck and suede upper, Team Maroon Swooshes, and woven tongue labels with graphics depicting two Philly staples: the Liberty Bell and a Philly cheese steak sandwich. Both models are completed with a white and gum-brown Nike Zoom sole.
The Nike SB Dunk MLB Pack releases on Thursday, July 14th for $115 and $125 on the SNKRS app and in select skate shops.

Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 Fresh
If you are in the market for a fresh pair of all-whites, the Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 Fresh might be the pair for you.
At first glance, the Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 Fresh appears like any other pair of classic triple white AF1s. It is composed of an all-white leather construction with vamp perforations, Swoosh overlays, and a thick Air sole in a signature style. But, instead of embroidered detailing at the tongue and heel, this model adds its own twist with subtle, debossed detailing for an elevated look.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 Fresh releases on Friday, July 15th for $140 on the SNKRS app and in select Nike retailers.
