Top 10 Anticipated Sneaker Releases of 2018

Following a look at our Top 10 Sneaker Releases of 2017, we now bring you an early preview of our Top 10 anticipated sneakers release of 2018.

For those that thought 2017 was a good year, then you better buckle up, because 2018 might turn out to be the biggest year we’ve seen in sometime.

Below is a look at a few notable releases we’re already looking forward to during the new year (those that we currently know about).

10. ADIDAS CRAZY BYW LVL 1

adidas is reviving its “Feet You Wear” Basketball Collection from the ’90s by using their popular Boost technology. Already debuted on the court, the adidas Crazy BYW LVL 1 will be hitting stores on January 27th followed by a wider release on February 15th.

9. AIR JORDAN 3 “KATRINA”

Originally designed exclusively for a charity auction to support the relief efforts from Hurricane Katrina. The Air Jordan 3 “Katrina” will release for the first time beginning in May 2018.

8. NIKE AIR FOAMPOSITE ONE “ALTERNATE GALAXY”

As a follow up to the iconic “Galaxy” Foamposite from 2012, Nike will be releasing an upcoming “Alternate Galaxy” Nike Air Foamposite One for 2018.

7. CARHARTT X AIR JORDAN 3

Jordan Brand and the blue-collar Michigan-based work clothing company Carhartt will be teaming up once again. This time they’ll be using the Air Jordan 3, which is celebrating its 30th Anniversary in 2018.

6. ADIDAS FUTURECRAFT 4D

The adidas FutureCraft 4D will be making its debut to the public in 2018. One of the pairs that will be releasing is an upcoming Invincible collaboration.

5. LEVI’S X AIR JORDAN 4 COLLECITON

Levi’s and Jordan Brand will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of their first collaboration from back in 2008, which included the Air Jordan 1. For 2018, they’ll be releasing a trio of Air Jordan 4s in “Denim,” “Black,” and “White.”

4. OFF-WHITE X NIKE COLLECITON

Virgil Abloh and Nike will be giving us another Off-White x Nike Collection in 2018. This will give majority of us a chance to turn our L’s from 2017 into W’s for 2018.

3. FEAR OF GOD X NIKE COLLECTION

Jerry Lorenzo has confirmed that he’ll be releasing an upcoming Fear of God x Nike Collection in 2018. No word yet on what the model(s) will be, but we’re hoping that it’ll be the Nike Air Presto.

We haven’t seen the Air Jordan 11 “Concord” since its re-release in 2011. For 2017, Jordan Brand is bringing back the iconic release in true-form that could also include “45” on the heels. Lets hope they go back to the low cut patent leather (pictured) instead of the new high cut.

1. AIR JORDAN 3 OG “BLACK CEMENT”

Our personal most anticipated release for 2018 is the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” that will be returning with Nike Air and all on February 17th. Count me down for 3 pairs minimum.

Air Jordan 33, Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Shadow”, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Nike signature shoe, and the adidas Dame 4 “BAPE” Pack.

Top 10 Sneaker Releases of 2017

Dec 31, 2017

2017 was another big year in sneakers that included some exclusive drops as well as a few classic collaborative releases.

While Kanye West continued to do his thing, it was Virgil Abloh that took over by dropping a 10 sneaker collab with Nike, and literally flipped the sneaker world upside-down. KAWS also added to the craziness of 2017 with two highly demanded Air Jordan 4s.

With that being said, here’s our Top 10 Sneaker Releases of 2017. Let us know what your list was in the comments section.

10. ATMOS X NIKE AIR MAX 1 “ELEPHANT PRINT”

The original atmos x Nike Air Max 1 “Elephant Print” made its return in 2017 that was a remake of the original 2006 “Zoo Pack” release.

9. ADIDAS YEEZY POWERPHASE “CALABASAS”

Kanye West popularized a retro adidas training shoe from the late 1980s to give the sneaker world his version, the adidas Yeezy PowerPhase “Calabasas” that debuted back in June.

8. STAPLE X NIKE SB DUNK LOW “BLACK PIGEON”

After 12 long years, the “Pigeon” Nike SB Dunk Low made its triumphant return. This time the iconic release returned in an all-Black colorway.

7. ADIDAS YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 “ZEBRA”

In my opinion one of the better adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 releases was the “Zebra” colorway due to its simple Black and White color tone that can be worn with literally anything.

6. FEAR OF GOD X VANS ERA 95

Jerry Lorenzo’s, Fear Of God, brought his latest Vans Collection to ComplexCon 2017 before releasing to the public. Out of the four, the Vans Era 59 in White and Black was our winner.

5. AIR JORDAN 1 OG “ROYAL”

Jordan Brand took the original Air Jordan 1 “Royal” and gave them the remastered makeover with a mix of smooth and premium textured leather. Putting them in the Top 5 was only right.

4. AIR JORDAN 1 “GOLD TOP 3”

Union in Los Angeles first introduced the Gold “Top 3” Air Jordan 1 at ComplexCon 2017 that was limited to 1,000 pairs. If you have these, consider yourself lucky.

3. OFF-WHITE X AIR JORDAN 1

Virgil Abloh’s, Off-White brand, and Nike come together to bring us “The Ten” Collection which was divided into two themes. The “REVEALING” and the “GHOSTING.” This Air Jordan 1 delivered in all aspects, which is why it comes in at number 3.

2. KAWS X AIR JORDAN 4

While there were two KAWS x Air Jordan 4 releases, the Black pair was our personal favorite that debuted during the holiday season.

1. OFF-WHITE X NIKE AIR PRESTO

By far, Virgil Abloh’s Off-White x Nike Air Presto is hands down our number 1 sneaker release of 2017. A shoe that’s stylish and can be worn for any occasion. We’re defiantly looking forward to what’s to come from Off-White and Nike in 2018.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

NIKE ZOOM FLY SP

Inspired by the Nike Zoom VaporFly Elite that was worn by Eliud Kipchoge who was 25 seconds away from breaking the two-hour mark. The Nike Zoom Fly SP was a takedown version that offers a true performance sneaker with a lifestyle edge.

ADIDAS NMD HU TRAIL “N.E.R.D”

Another ComplexCon exclusive that was limited to only 300 pairs was Pharrell’s adidas NMD Hu Trail “N.E.R.D” release. This adidas NMD was a no-brainer and easily became one of the most-hyped releases at ComplexCon 2017.

Both are highlighted with camouflage detailing along with a fence pattern. One pair comes with vibrant accents, while the other sports more of a military-vibe.
