This past week, the sneaker community has seen some *interesting* releases. Perhaps the most prominent, the Lil Nas X x MSCHF Satan Shoes released to immediate sell-out. If you haven’t seen the video, I highly suggest you give it a watch to understand why the collaboration was highly controversial (viewer discretion advised). Additionally, the Nike SB Dunk Low PRM “Medium Curry” finally dropped last week, which was also released to mad fanfare.
Here at Nice Picks, the team here at Snkrs Day detail our favorite sneaker drops occuring this week. In a special iteration, we’ve sifted through the noise to find the best bang for your buck this weekend. Without further ado, lets hop right into the list.
5. PUMA Suede Classic Mono Iced “Aruba Blue”
Colorway: Aruba Blue
Style #: 381469-01
Release Date: April 2, 2021
Price: $70
The Puma Suede Classic Mono Iced “Aruba Blue” is the latest iteration of the classic Suede to release. As timeless as the “Black/White” pair is, it’s refreshing to see a new adventurous colorway that traverses the entire sneaker. At an affordable price, these look to be a great shoe for the spring and summer season.
4. Puma RS-Dreamer PROTRO
Release Date: April 2, 2021
Price: $125
When I think of the Puma brand, one of the first sneakers that come to mind is the J.Cole x Puma RS-Dreamer. Worn on-court by various NBA players, this has become one of Puma’s staple sneakers. In its latest PROTRO edition, the silhouette has received a new look ready for the latter half of the season. If you’re looking for a new affordable hooping sneaker, this is it.
3. New Balance BB9000
Colorway: White / Team Royal
Style #: BB9000R1
Release Date: April 1, 2021
Price: $140
The New Balance BB9000 is the Boston-based brand’s latest venture into the performance basketball space. Taking elements from various NB sneakers, the BB9000 is a great example of classic heritage combined with modern performance. I’m a huge fan of the BB9000 design and can definetely envision myself rocking these on-court, and perhaps off.
2. Bad Bunny x adidas Forum Buckle Low
Style #: GW0265
Release Date: April 4, 2021
Price: $160
Bad Bunny has another adidas collaboration on the way, following up the darker-toned “Mocha” iteration with a bright pink Forum. The most unique detailing, a buckle is seen locking down the tongue. A translucent pink outsole finishes off the Latin artist’s upcoming design.
1. Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT “Stadium Green”
Colorway: Stadium Green / Black / White / Ghost Green
Style #: CT0978-300
Release Date: April 3, 2021
Price: $150
The Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT has become an underrated silhouette of sorts, but this iteration arriving in a bold “Stadium Green” colorway has reason to be desired. After the “London” colorway, this is perhaps one of the best drops to occur from the new model and will definetely be on my radar come April 3.
