Undeniably one of the flashier Dunks of all-time, the Swarovski crystal-studded Nike Dunk Low CPFM Spiral Sage clocked in as the most expensive sneaker of the week with a closing sale price of just over $7,200. While this sale topped the charts this week, it is the lowest this CPFM Dunk has sold for since August of 2021, having reached sales as high as $14,000 in the last nine months.

Best Sneakers Releasing This Week

Air Jordan 13 Brave Blue

Jordan Brand reimagines one of the original Air Jordan 13 Low colorways as a high-top with the Air Jordan 13 Brave Blue.

Drawing inspiration from the 1998 Air Jordan 13 Low Navy, the Air Jordan 13 Brave Blue features a black tumbled leather upper with Brave Blue mesh overlays and black Durabuck underlays. At the collar, a Jumpman hologram commemorates the design’s signature styling. A sculptural white and black EVA foam sole provides support for daily wear.

The Air Jordan 13 Brave Blue releases on Saturday, April 29th for $200 on the SNKRS app and in select Jordan retailers.

Puma LaMelo Ball MB.01 Galaxy

If you had been wanting a galaxy-themed pair of basketball shoes without the hefty price tag of the Nike Air Foamposite One NRG Galaxy, the Puma LaMelo Ball MB.01 Galaxy is a viable option.

The Puma LaMelo Ball MB.01 Galaxy arrives with a galaxy-patterned mesh upper with reinforced purple overlays and sharp orange detailing. On the tongue, LaMelo’s signature “One of One” graphic boasts neon colors, contrasting its dark, spacey background. At the base, a neon green sole offers enhanced court grip and durability.

The Puma LaMelo Ball MB.01 Galaxy releases on Saturday, April 29th for $125 on the Puma website and in select stores.

Nike Air Force 1 Billie Eilish Mushroom

Coming fresh off of Earth Day, Billie Eilish adds an eco-friendly twist to one of Nike’s most storied models with the Nike Air Force 1 Billie Eilish Mushroom.

With a recycled Durabuck upper and Nike Grind midsole, the Nike Air Force 1 Billie Eilish Mushroom takes a more sustainable approach to achieve a high-end look. Its monotone Mushroom palette emphasizes its unique, chunky mid-foot straps that borrow from both the Alpha Force Low and Air Trainer 3 designs. From there, a classic Nike Air heel embroidery completes this collaboration.

The Nike Air Force 1 Billie Eilish Mushroom releases on Monday, April 25th on the SNKRS app and in select retailers.

Air Jordan 11 Low Pure Violet (W)

Jordan Brand delivers all of the springtime vibes with the women’s Air Jordan 11 Low Pure Violet (W).

Arriving in a white and pale lilac two-tone color scheme, the women’s Air Jordan 11 Low Pure Violet (W) captures the essence of a flower in spring bloom. Its glossy patent leather mudguards pay tribute to the original Jordan 11 construction while adding a new pastel hue. In traditional fashion, matching semi-translucent outsoles add the finishing touch. While it’s too late to call these Easter sneakers, they’re a great choice to celebrate the season.

The Air Jordan 11 Low Pure Violet (W) releases on Friday, April 28th for $190 on the SNKRS app and in select stores.

Nike SB Dunk High KCDC

Williamsburg-based skate shop KCDC celebrates their 20th Anniversary with the Nike SB Dunk High KCDC.

According to KCDC owner Amy Gunther Ellington, the Nike SB Dunk High KCDC takes its inspiration from pink military boots of NYC’s hardcore scene, Nike SB founder Sandy Bodecker’s earliest SB Dunk designs, and the shop’s pink-bricked build. The shoe features a pink Durabuck upper with premium suede overlays and smooth black leather Swooshes. A KCDC branded looped heel tab and gum-bottom soles nod to the look of Doc Marten-style boots. On the interior, green sock liners with KCDC graphics add a subtle contrast.

The Nike SB Dunk High KCDC releases on Saturday, April 30th for $120 in select skate shops.

Reebok Answer IV Only The Strong Survive

Reebok highlights one of Allen Iverson’s renowned tattoos with the Reebok Answer IV Only The Strong Survive.

At first glance, the Reebok Answer IV Only The Strong Survive appears to have a simple design. Its white leather upper with grey overlays seems familiar, but on the interior, a graphic sock liner featuring an image of Iverson’s “Only The Strong Survive” tattoo adds subtle detailing. If you love a low-key flex, this shoe could definitely get the job done.

The Reebok Answer IV Only The Strong Survive releases on Friday, April 29th for $140 on the Reebok website and in select retailers.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Luxe Burnt Sunrise

Not a fan of dress shoes? No problem. The Nike Air Force 1 Low Luxe Burnt Sunrise is a viable option for sneaker lovers looking to achieve a more formal look.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Luxe Burnt Sunrise is constructed with a premium Burnt Orange smooth leather that has the sheen of a freshly shined pair of dress shoes. Instead of classic AF1 perforations, intricate perforated filigree on the vamp offers an ornate style reminiscent of brogue shoes. From there, rugged treads on the outsole prepare wearers for any-weather condition. And if these aren’t replacing your dress shoes, maybe they can replace your hiking boots!

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Luxe Burnt Sunrise releases on Thursday, April 28th for $140 on the SNKRS app and in select stores.
