You already know Sallys Sneakers as the international expert of elevating your style. The Danish delight began sharing her sneaker collection just two years ago and has since become a go-to for anyone looking to elevate their game. For the holidays we asked her to let us in on her secrets, revealing some of her favorite sleeper hits – the sneakers (and more) that others might ignore and you can rock for a unique look. These are Sally’s Sleepers of the season.

adidas Yeezy QNTM (Lifestyle Model)

So the first item I think is highly underrated right now and below retail price on StockX is the adidas Yeezy QNTM (Lifestyle Model). I actually just got these for myself and I’m almost certain the price on these will go up later on. It’s a high-top Yeezy – which is different and I think they look really good styled with oversized jeans. Generally, Yeezy comfort is good which is another plus side of getting these.

adidas x Superstar Sean Wotherspoon Superearth

The second pair I definitely think many are sleeping on is the adidas x Sean Wotherspoon Superearth. I’m actually surprised people aren’t getting these. I would say they’re a piece of art mixed onto a classic silhouette. Honestly, what’s not to like? I’m a colorful girl when it comes to sneakers and I love good details which I think the Superearth are full of. Right now resell is close to retail which is why I think you guys should be making your move.

 

adidas Yeezy Desert Boot

Winter is coming which is why I’ll introduce you to my last sleeper, the adidas Yeezy Desert Boot which is going for around retail as well. I’m not a boot kind of person but if you know Denmark, you know it’s COLD (minus Celsius in winter months) which is why I have to wear something other than regular sneakers. I got my pair this year around January and was sad I didn’t get them earlier. Now telling you all, you know what you gotta do! (Please just size up, they run small <3)

BAPE Full 1st Camo Mask Yellow

If you know me, you know I’m a mask kind of girl (not because of the pandemic but because I haven’t revealed my face yet on @sallyssneakers). Now that it’s a fashion statement more than ever to wear a mask – and also very practical it’s a good time to find something that also looks good! Bape is one of my favorite “mask” brands and not only is it a highly sought after and good quality brand but many of their masks are also around or below retail on StockX. I love the camo ones!

Nike x Olivia Kim Air Mowabb No Cover

Nike x Olivia Kim Air Mowabb is a pair I’ve personally been sleeping on too! I’ve been looking to add these to my collection for ages but honestly have just been very lazy around ordering! I’ve seen numerous pictures of people styling this sneaker amazingly and I think they’re a perfect fall sneaker given the color combo and them being hi-tops. These are also below retail which is why I think they’re an even better cop.

Melody Ehsani x Jordan OG

The list goes on and on but I need to mention this one pair before I finish off my list. The Melody Ehsani x Jordan OG. Everyone knows her Jordan 1’s are my favorite ever pair. This woman is definitely my favorite designer – the amount of thought and detail she puts into her sneaker designs are out of this world (in my opinion!). While Ehsani’s Jordan 1’s are reselling for around 1000$ – her second collaboration, also made exclusively for the ladies, is severely slept on. Grab those cherry babies before they go up, is my best advice on these!
