Off-White x Air Force One Mid

The late Virgil Abloh was one of Nike’s most prolific collaborators and produced a wealth of unique remixes of Nike’s most popular. For the 40th anniversary of the Nike Air Force One, the legendary designer gave the underrated Nike Air Force One Mid a remix with multi-colored stripes and translucent details. .

A Ma Maniere x AJ2

The A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 2 is one of the cleanest kicks of the year in a year full of well-received Air Jordan 2s. A Ma Maniere and Air Jordan have been retooling the early Jordan silhouettes and giving them a more luxurious look. 2022 was the year of the Air Jordan 2, with a wealth of colorways released for His Airness’ second silhouette, including ones from J. Balvin, Two 18, and the upcoming rerelease of the OG Chicago colorway.

CLOT X AJ14 LOW

Edison Chen’s CLOT brand has had quite a fruitful connection with Nike and Jordan Brand throughout the years. One of the greatest parts about CLOT and Jordan collabs is the storytelling with the CLOT x AJ14 inspired by the terracotta army that guards the tomb of the first emperor of China outside Xi’an, Shaanxi, China.

Salehe Bembury x Pollex Clog

Artist Salehe Bembury made waves earlier this year with his unique take on the ultra-popular Crocs Clog, redesigned in his signature thumbprint style. The silhouette blends the comfort of the slip-on with all the coolness of an art project. While the shoe was difficult to secure during its earlier releases, Salehe has taken measures to ensure that the colors regularly restock.

Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red”

Michael Jordan’s early catalog is full of undeniable bangers, especially the Air Jordan 5, which featured on Wheaties boxes and in the Fresh Prince, but no one made it cooler than Air Jordan himself. The iconic Fire Red Air Jordan 5 is cemented as one of the best Jordan silhouettes of all time, thanks to its reflective tongue and shark tooth details on the midsole.

UNDFTD x Nike Air Force One “ 5 On It”

UNDFTD and the Swoosh have had so many collabs over the years that it’s hard to count. Paolo Banchero recently just debuted its upcoming flip of the Air Jordan 37. One of UNDFTD’s favorite silhouettes is the Nike Air Force One, having flipped it in multiple different ways. The “5 On It” Air Force One is comprised of a blend of premium materials, including a suede toe box and snakeskin swooshes.

Adidas T-Mac 3

Though Mac’s relationship with adidas may be tumultuous, they’ve made some hits together over the years, including the adidas T-Mac 3, which became cemented in public memory with his decision to don two different colors during the 2004 All-Star Game.

Air Jordan 3 Womens “Black Gold”

Air Jordan has been showing love to the ladies all year with a myriad of great releases but the Air Jordan 3 “Black Gold” takes a classic and tweaks it for a royal look.

Air Jordan 6 “Chrome”

The Air Jordan 6 is one of Jordan’s most memorable silhouettes with it being the sneaker he earned his first championship in back in 1991. The Chrome colorway is one of the more recent drops on the list and is a hightop revitalization of the popular Air Jordan 6 Chrome low released back in 2015.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
