Best Sneakers This Week
Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder

Air Jordan 1 Patent Bred
Similar to last week, the Air Jordan 1 Patent Bred is second in the running for the most popular sneaker of the week. The Bred colorway is arguably the most recognized and storied colorways in Jordan Brand history, making its exceptional demand justified.

adidas Forum Powerphase Bad Bunny Benito
Bad Bunny joined forces with adidas once again, this time adding a fresh spin to the Forum with the adidas Forum Powerphase Bad Bunny Benito.
Unlike previous Bad Bunny adidas Forums, the adidas Forum Powerphase Bad Bunny Benito ditches the ankle strap and borrows paneling from the classic adidas Powerphase silhouette. The upper is constructed of canvas and leather, with brown, black, and pastel hues prominent in the color blocking. Triple-stacked heel padding, a yellowed sole, and customized “Benito” text on the lateral side complete the design.
The adidas Forum Powerphase Bad Bunny Benito releases on Wednesday, February 9th for $160 on the adidas CONFIRMED app and in select stores worldwide.

ACRONYMⓇ x Nike Blazer Low
Prolific sneaker collaborator and Munich-based label ACRONYMⓇ demonstrates its focus on forward-thinking design with a new sneaker for the first time in almost four years: the Nike Blazer Low ACRONYMⓇ.
Arriving in both Black and Night Maroon colorways, the Nike Blazer Low ACRONYMⓇ draws inspiration from utilitarian garments. Its ballistic nylon upper with geometric laser-cut detailing is reminiscent of military ghillie suits. At the heel, removable TPU units that could be likened to futuristic armor add mechanical qualities. From there, an ACRONYMⓇ branded tongue with exposed foam edges brings some normalcy to this abstract silhouette.
The Nike Blazer Low ACRONYMⓇ releases on Thursday, February 10th for $140 on the SNKRS app and in select stores.

New Balance 993 Aimé Leon Dore Taupe
If you missed out on November’s release of the New Balance 993 Aimé Leon Dore, don’t worry: the Taupe colorway is receiving a global restock.
Nodding to New York City’s grittiness in the 1990s, the New Balance 993 Aimé Leon Dore takes its teal, taupe, and purple colorway from graffiti found in the city’s MTA subway system during that era. Premium suede, leather, and mesh construction adds an aura of grandeur to this street-ready masterpiece.
The New Balance 993 Aimé Leon Dore restocks on Thursday, February 10th for $230 on the New Balance website.
