Air Jordan 1 High Yellow Toe
Although the Air Jordan 1 High Yellow Toe isn’t set to officially release until September, it is already making waves on StockX. This past week, the Yellow Toe was one of the top ten most traded sneakers on StockX, rivalring consistent top sellers like the Panda Dunks and Yeezy Slide Onyx.
Salomon XT-6 White Lunar Rock
Following a strong week in demand, the Salomon XT-6 White Lunar Rock became the third most-traded Salomon shoe in StockX history. Between the rise in popularity of their S/LAB line and cross-cultural collaborations with Palace, Dover Street Market, and Hidden NY, Salomon is a must-watch brand in the sneaker space.
Most Expensive Sneaker This Week
NikeCraft Mars Yard 2.0 Tom Sachs
Shortly after the latest restock of Tom Sach’s NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe, a pair of the NikeCraft Mars Yard 2.0 Tom Sachs sold for just over $8,000. With news that the GPS will continue to restock and release in more colorways, it’s evident how limited Sach’s past Nike collaborations were, which is contributing to their rise in value over time.

Air Jordan 13 French Blue
Jordan Brand adds a new look to a renowned 1997 design with the Air Jordan 13 French Blue.

Nodding to Michael Jordan’s “Black Cat” nickname, a signature Jordan holographic emblem at the collar is reminiscent of panther eyes, while a sculptural sole takes the form of cat paws.

Salehe Bembury x Crocs Pollex Clog Cobbler
Salehe Bembury expands his Crocs Pollex Clogs collection with the peach-inspired Cobbler colorway.
The Crocs Pollex Clog Salehe Bembury Cobbler arrives in a similar fashion to prior releases, being that it has a monochromatic fingerprint-looking foam construction and adjustable velcro heel straps for secure fit. The main standout of the Cobbler is the bright orange color, which isn’t a new adventure for Bembury – his first New Balance 2002R featured a similar palette.
The Crocs Pollex Clog Salehe Bembury Cobbler releases on Thursday, August 18th for $85 on Salehe Bembury’s beaspunge.com.

adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2 Vanta
If you missed out on the Yeezy restocks as part of Yeezy Day 2022, you will have another chance to grab a Yeezy of years past with the adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2 Vanta restock.
Although it debuted in June of 2019, the adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2 Vanta is very much in line with the Yeezy aesthetic of today – a muted, all-black ensemble fit for a dystopian uniform. The 700 V2 Vanta could pair well with the Yeezy GAP Engineered by Balenciaga collection, or with many outfits for that matter. Its mesh, leather, and suede construction atop a Boost-cushioned sole makes the design versatile for any use.
The adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2 Vanta releases on Friday, August 19th for $300 on the Yeezy Supply website.

thisisneverthat x New Balance 2002R and 1906R
Seoul-based contemporary design studio thisisneverthat joined forces with New Balance for new iterations of the 2002R and 1906R.
Being that thisisneverthat was instrumental in bringing back the 2002R silhouette in 2020, its fitting for the brand to offer another colorway in this latest collaboration. In this grey iteration, thisisneverthat explores the usage of cracked leather on the silhouette, embracing a vintage aesthetic. On the same note, the New Balance 1906R (a modified version of a 2010 running shoe) also takes inspiration from the aging process on sneakers, with discolorations throughout its mesh and leather build.
Both collaborative models release on Friday, August 19th for $150 on the New Balance site and in select stores.
