Best Sneakers This Week
Air Jordan 1 Dark Marina Blue
It might not be an OG, but it sure is getting love like one. In its first week on the market, the Air Jordan 1 Dark Marina Blue became the most sold sneaker of the week on StockX. This colorway is very reminiscent of the classic Air Jordan 1 Royal, so if you don’t feel like creasing your wallet for some Royals, the Dark Marina Blue is a valid backup.
Puma MB.01 LaMelo Ball Rick and Morty
For the first time ever, a pair of Pumas has topped the trade charts on StockX. The release of the Puma MB.01 LaMelo Ball Rick and Morty took All-Star Weekend by storm, and in less than a week, became the most sold Puma sneaker of all time. Considering the past two MB.01 releases haven’t performed as well as this latest release, it’s clear a Rick and Morty collaboration has a significant impact on demand.
Most Expensive Sneaker of the Week
Nike Air Yeezy 1 Net Tan
The release of the Kanye West Netflix docuseries Jeen-Yuhs might have already started to impact buyer behavior on StockX. Shortly after the release of the series’ first episode, a pair of Nike Air Yeezy 1 Net Tan sold at a colossal price of $10,300, more than a 100% jump in price compared to the colorway’s last sale in January.

Nike SB Dunk High PASS⁓PORT Work Boots
In collaboration with Nike SB, Australian skate shop PASS⁓PORT takes inspiration from outdoor exploration for the Nike SB Dunk High PASS⁓PORT Work Boots.
Composed of yellow ripstop nylon, green hairy suede, and brown tumbled leather, the Nike SB Dunk High PASS⁓PORT Work Boot borrows its fabrication and palette from classic hiking boots. Thick patterned cord laces and brass D-Ring style lace loops are fashioned in a way that is typically geared for strenuous mountain activity. On the tongue, PASS⁓PORT embroidery and matching pull tabs highlight the collaboration. At the heel, find embroidering of a hatted figure in silhouette using a mini-Swoosh as a tool, underscoring the workwear inspiration of the collaboration.

Nike Dunk High Undercover Chaos Black
Japanese label Undercover and Nike continue their collaborative partnership into 2022 with the Nike Dunk High Undercover Chaos Black.
In a black monochromatic look, the Nike Dunk High Undercover Chaos Black embraces the signature 1985 Dunk silhouette with elongated collars and tongues. Smooth and tumbled leather construction offer a variety in touch, but maintain the design’s low-key appearance. At the heel, contrast printing of “CHAOS” and “GLEICHGEWICHT” (“BALANCE” in German) symbolize Undercover’s motif of embracing the space between two polarizing states.
The Nike Dunk High Undercover Chaos Black releases on Monday, February 28th for $150 on the SNKRS app and in select stores.
