Streetwear and its culture are so highly influential and endearing that a lot of people are invested into copping the newest drip the earliest they can. Each year dozens of new editions of sneakers come out whether it be vintage retro editions, or even new designs of pre-existing line-ups that are heavily inspired by the legacy on the many sneakers there have been before them. Many such sneakers of 2024 should be on your list.
Nike Air Max 180 'Ultramarine' (SKU: FJ9259-100)
Let’s talk about the new Nike Air 180’s (SKU: FJ9259-100), it is the first retro pair of the Air 180’s, revealed during Nike’s SNKRS showcase. Made by Nike designer Leon Witherow, it comes with two colorways released in 2024. These retros are a no-miss and are very promising from the many line-ups of 2024.
Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Military Blue' (SKU: FV5029-141)
The Air Jordan IV lineup is a legendary sneaker with almost every pair in its existence having a retro resurgence with the Nike Air branding and time accurate specs. The final pair released is from the OG AJ4 lineup featuring the Air Jordan IV Military Blue (SKU: FV5029-141) colorway. It’s been rumored to have resurgence on a yearly basis but it finally dropped in June. This is a must-have for a lot of sneakerheads out there.
