Now let’s take a look at the most anticipated launch of sneakers in 2024, both past and coming:
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Year of the Dragon” Sneakers
Release: Wednesday, January 24th, 2024
Retail Price: $160
The ‘Year of the Dragon’ Air Jordan was originally seen in 2012 as part of an All-Star Weekend limited release. The Chinese Zodiac cycle has begun again, twelve years later. The Air Jordan 1 Low OG is now sporting a joyous “YOTD” pop of color.
This version of the AJ1 is finished with an unique gold-stitched Air Jordan symbol that has a dragon around the Jumpman. It has a red satin swoosh and an upper inspired by dragons.
The whole pair of sneakers includes a gorgeous hang tag and accessories, such as fortunate red Chinese New Year envelopes.
Nike SB Dunk Low “Valentine’s Day” Sneakers
Release: February 9th 2024
Retail Price: $125
Like other models in the Jordan range, the Dunk has been subject to a modest price rise. However, while it’s lately raised to a retail of $125 from a past $100, demand for the SB Dunk in particular has not slowed down. This makes it an exciting choice for resellers.
The Nike SB brand is no stranger to a Valentine’s Day hue. The 2020 “Strangelove” model, which still resells for approximately $1,000 on StockX, established the tone for following releases to retain a price premium.
The 2024 “Valentine’s Day” SB Dunk boasts the most macho colors we’ve seen so far on this take compared to earlier releases. Pink and white have been changed with burgundy and chocolate, making this more of a daily wear combination.
Air Jordan 4 “Reimagined Bred” Sneakers
Release: Saturday, February 17th 2024
Retail Price: $215
The OG sneakerheads are going adore this one. For those who don’t know, the Jordan 4 made its appearance in 1989, and has been the stage for some of the most famous Jordans ever created, including the “Thunder” and Eminem’s “Carhartt” hues.
For the 35th anniversary of its debut, the “Reimagined Bred” colorway of the Air Jordan 4 is going back to its beginnings, reviving the original Nike Swoosh and Air badges on the heel in lieu of the Jumpman which is featured on most current 4’s.
In the 2024 version, modern leather is used instead of the original suede. This is pretty much the only difference between this model and the one that came out 35 years ago.
Cactus Plant Flea Market x Air Force 1 White/Black
Release: May 1 2024
Retail Price: $150
Streetwear pioneer Cynthia Lu’s CPFM has developed some of Nike’s finest collaboration successes in recent years. People always want to buy these limited editions, which makes them great for ticket reselling.
Although many of the current versions like the CPFM Nike Air Flea 2 are wild and contentious, the company is cautious with its rendition of the iconic sneakers Air Force 1 low. We first saw their flare in the shape of a white bubbled stitching of “Air” on the side of the AF1 in 2020, in pure black and white palettes.
2024 saw the first ever re-release of a Nike x CPFM collaboration with the Air Force 1 in both hues, which aside from a newly boosted retail price was a second opportunity at acquiring this drop firsthand.
Air Jordan 4 “Military Blue” Sneakers
Release: Saturday, May 4th 2024
Retail Price: $215
Fans of the 4 will have to wait a few months before they can get their hands on the “Military Blue,” which was originally scheduled to debut with the “Reimagined Bred” 4.
The 2024 version of the Military Blue is identical to the 2012 version, without the jumpman on the heel, and has the Nike Swoosh and Air logo in its place—just like the “Reimagined Bred.”
Air Jordan 11 Low “Space Jam”
Release: Saturday, May 18th 2024
Retail Price: $190
Although classic colors of the Air Jordan 11 are generally saved for an end of the year drop, this re-release of the legendary “Space Jam” is expected for spring. It’s likely to be a price mistake choice, which could cause its selling value to rise.
It will have been almost a decade since we last saw the Space Jam colorway resurface–the previous drop came in December of 2016 in its high top incarnation.
Those who want the high top will still have to wait, but this low top 11, although not a traditional shape, has its audience. Combined with an immediately identifiable hue, this one is going to sell quickly off the shelves.
The 2024 Space Jam 11 Low is available for the entire family, with selections for Men’s, Gradeschool, Preschool, and even Toddler sizes.
Conclusion
As we move through 2025, fans of sneakers will continue to enjoy a mix of old favorites and new styles. The sneakers world is still going strong, with drops like the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Year of the Dragon” and the Nike SB Dunk Low “Valentine’s Day.” Collectors can look forward to even more exciting drops in the second half.
