Nike is going all-in on the 2026 World Cup with football-inspired sneakers and global collaborations. I’m not even a soccer fan, but some of these are actually clean. What do y’all think? Cop or pass? 👀⚽🔥

This week on Weekly Sneaker Fix:

The Jordan 4 Toro Bravos finally dropped and somehow ended up sitting despite being one of the most anticipated releases earlier this year.

At the same time, Travis Scott dropped TWO Jordan 1 Lows and caused absolute chaos between SNKRS and his website.

Was it bad timing?
Was it hype?
Or are sneakerheads simply becoming more selective with their money?

Also… before anybody says it 😂 yes, I caught myself calling them “Brick By Brick” instead of “Brick After Brick” after I finished editing. We’re keeping it.

What pair were you chasing this week?

One of the best parts of this business is meeting fellow sneakerheads.

My dad linked up with a new customer who was ready to move part of his personal collection. Most of the pairs were near deadstock and all size 12.

🏀 Jordan 9 Cool Grey
🏀 Jordan 8 Aqua
🏀 Jordan 5 Grape
🏀 Jordan 14 Ferrari
🏀 Jordan 12 Melo

After checking everything over and working out a fair deal, we picked up all 5 pairs for $558.

What do you think?
🔥 Great deal
🤝 Fair deal
❌ Overpaid

What’s the ONE sneaker y’all actually care about in June? 👀

Nigel Sylvester really knows how to build culture brick after brick 🧱

The way he handled the NYC rollout for the Jordan 4 “Brick After Brick” at Patsy’s Pizzeria felt genuine. He made the city feel involved. He showed love to the people who support him the most.

As somebody from Houston, I can’t help but feel salty watching it because we don’t really get that same energy from Travis Scott releases.

And before people get mad — I’m not saying Travis owes us meet & greets or giant events. Houston sneakerheads don’t even need all that. Just give the city a fair shot sometimes. Exclusive access. A reserve. Something for the hometown people who constantly support every drop.

Nigel’s marketing and storytelling are on another level right now. That “for the city” feeling matters. 🧱🌵

The AP x Swatch “Royal Pop” release might be one of the wildest examples of hype culture we’ve seen in a minute.

People camping for days.Mall pop-ups shutting down.Crowds getting belligerent.Police involved.And somehow Michael Beasley is outside calming people down over pocket watches 😭

And look… I actually think the watches are fire.But the reaction to this drop feels way bigger than the product itself.

Because if this was just a regular pocket watch with no AP branding attached…would people REALLY be acting like this?

Feels like nowadays people just want whatever the internet tells them is hype.

At some point we gotta reflect and ask ourselves:why are we crashing out over stuff like this?

Curious what y’all think.Am I missing something?

Nigel Sylvester really might have another Sneaker of the Year contender with the Jordan 4 “Brick After Brick” 😮‍💨🔥

The follow-up to the “Brick by Brick” Jordan 4 officially loaded onto SNKRS and the official images are CLEAN.

What’s weird is Nike usually drops pairs like this on the artist’s website first before SNKRS gets loaded up later… but this rollout feels different already 👀

I can’t even lie, I NEED this dub 😭

Who’s trying for these on May 22nd??

's

Sold these patent leather Topaz Gold Air Forces to a fellow reseller/supporter for $215 👌🏽
Not gonna lie… once he pulled out all the $5 bills my brain completely froze 😂😭
Appreciate everybody that watches and supports the content fr 🤝

The Travis Scott Pink Pack is easily one of the most interesting drops of the month to me.

The Tropical Pink pair with the red swoosh feels louder and more aggressive, while the Shy Pink pair with the sail/pink combo has a cleaner vibe. Either way, Travis and pink have always gone together perfectly, so seeing a full pink Travis finally happen feels crazy.

These honestly feel like the perfect his & hers release.

Which one are y’all rocking? 👀👇

This month is absolutely LOADED 😮‍💨🔥

From the Nigel Sylvester Jordan 4 “Brick After Brick” to the Travis Scott Tropical Pink pairs… May is looking dangerous for sneakerheads and wallets 💸

I also think the Jordan 3 Brazil could surprise people 👀🇧🇷Maybe it’s blind faith…But if Nike keeps them limited, I think they could move CRAZY on the aftermarket.

I broke down:✅ What’s a cop✅ What’s a drop✅ What could resell✅ What might brick

Which pair are y’all going after first? 👇
