The Best Sneakers Releasing This Week

Air Jordan 11 Low Cement Grey

A classic silhouette, the Air Jordan 11 is held in high regard as one of the most beloved, coveted Air Jordan numbers. Although the AJ low-cut silhouette might not be a natural gravitation for some sneakerheads, the Cement Grey patent leather makeup is makes this a familiar look to the popular Cool Grey colorway. This release clearly speaks for itself, but some highlight features include the thick rope laces and icy midsoles. These features keep up with the AJ Low traditions that fans know and love.

Its premium cream colored hemp and studded pearls reference an archival vintage Chucks look and feel. These Chucks are definitely a standout sneaker that’ll make you feel like you’ve found treasure on the beach.

Nike Foamposite One Dream a World Black and White

Get lost in another dimension with the new Nike Foamposite One Black and White. This reimagined basketball sneaker gives off a futuristic look and feel with its modernistic and marble-like backdrop.

This Dream A World Black colorway adds rippled graphics atop its foam upper.  Wear these sneakers and walk in a philosophical state of mind. Located on the insole, you’ll find the quote “luck/success happens when preparation meets opportunity” from Roman philosopher Seneca.
