This week, Jordan Brand unleashes the Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder, Prada and adidas add a luxe twist to the adidas Forum, and Nike delivers a wardrobe staple with the Nike Air Huarache Off Noir. Find out which sneaker releases are the most popular, most expensive, and which are coming your way in this latest installment of The Drop List.
Best Sneakers This Week
Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey
At this point, the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey could become a permanent fixture of this section for the number of consecutive weeks it’s been on top. It’s been five weeks now and the Cool Grey is still the most sold sneaker of the week. Being that only a few sneakers have released in the past week, this news should be no surprise. But with bigger and bolder sneaker releases on the horizon, we may see this sneaker move soon.
adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Beluga Reflective
For the second week in a row, the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Beluga Reflective has been right behind the Cool Grey as one of the most popular sneakers on StockX. There have not been many Yeezy releases announced for January quite yet, so there is a good chance the Beluga will hold the top spot for Yeezys for weeks to come.
Most Expensive Sneaker This Week
Air Jordan 3 DJ Khaled Grateful
This week, a pair of the Air Jordan 3 DJ Khaled Grateful sold for a whopping $14,000, marking its highest valuation in over four years. While the Grateful 3s resale price is among the most high, it is not the most expensive DJ Khaled PE of all time. That honor belongs to the Air Jordan 3 DJ Khaled Father of Asahd.

Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder
Originally slated to release last December, the Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder is finally here to jumpstart a year filled with anticipated Jordan 4 colorways.
The Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder draws inspiration from the 2006 Air Jordan 4 Thunder with its muted black Durabuck construction but swaps yellow accents for bright red. A signature “Flight” woven tongue tag and Jumpman heel tab nod to the Jordan 4 Retro design of the mid-2000s. At the base, a red and black sole with a clear Air unit in the heel complete the design.
The Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder releases on Saturday, January 15th for $190 on the SNKRS app and in select Jordan retailers.

Prada x adidas Forum
Prada and adidas continue their collaborative efforts with the Prada x adidas Forum collection.
Arriving in both high-top and low-top silhouettes, the Prada x adidas Forum collection references Prada’s renowned nylon bags and pouches on a classic 80s silhouette. Each design arrives in a monotone white or black palette and is composed of recycled nylon and smooth leather. Detachable Prada pouches with zipper enclosures provide extra storage for compact items of your choice. From there, embossed Prada branding on the tongue embellishes the collaboration.

adidas Y-3 Runner 4D Core Black White
adidas and Yohji Yamamoto’s sublabel Y-3 explores form-fitting design with the adidas Y-3 Runner 4D Core Black White.
From top to bottom, the adidas Y-3 Runner 4D Core Black White embraces a more abstract aesthetic than Y-3 designs have in the past. Its upper is composed of two layers of knit material: Primeknit and a loose-knit mesh outer layer acting as a kind of knit cage. The signature adidas three stripe branding is subtly displayed with white strings contrasting their black backdrop. Finally, a thick 3D-printed sole with spiked grooves adds the finishing touch.
The adidas Y-3 Runner 4D Core Black White releases on Saturday, January 15th for $400 on the adidas website.
