Spring is heating up and so is the sneaker game. From clean New Balance drops to wild collabs and signature silhouettes, this week is packed with releases you don’t want to sleep on. Whether you’re looking to rock something loud or lean into low-key heat, we’ve got you covered. Here are the six best sneaker drops this week.
New Balance Made in USA 990v6 “Avocado with Natural Mint”
Release Date: April 10th | Retail: $199.99 | Style Code: U990AB6
Just in time for spring, New Balance serves up a minty fresh take on the 990v6. This performance runner-turned-streetwear staple features a layered upper of dark green mesh, light green suede overlays, and synthetic leather hits. A darker green suede wraps the toe box, while gray perforated leather details give it subtle contrast. Underfoot, a FuelCell foam midsole with ENCAP cushioning offers all-day comfort in an off-white and Sail white combo. Minty, sleek, and festival-ready—these drop via New Balance on April 10th for $199.99.
Nike Book 1 “Blue Blood”
Release Date: April 10th | Retail: $140 | Style Code: IH0892-900
Devin Booker continues his signature line with the denim-drenched “Blue Blood” colorway. Nodding to his Kentucky roots, the upper rocks a washed indigo denim with a bleached Swoosh outlined in white. Booker’s jersey number is stitched on the heel, while a unique tongue tag features “Book” and Wildcat branding. The Cushlon 2.0 midsole gives vintage vibes with its aged finish, and a TPU wrap brings added support. Cop these at Foot Locker on April 10th in men’s sizes for $140.
Puma x LaMelo Ball MB.04 “Be You”
Release Date: April 11th | Retail: $140 | Style Code: 311309-01
LaMelo Ball is back with another bold take on the MB.04. The “Be You” colorway is a galactic blend of Puma Black, Electric Peppermint, and Fluro Green. The knit upper is packed with 5D graphics, space-inspired visuals, and LaMelo’s iconic “Rare” branding on the toe. Performance tech like NITRO FOAM and CMEVA keep this pair game-ready, while a high-abrasion track pad brings traction underfoot. Head to the Puma app on April 11th to snag a pair for $140.
Nike Air Zoom Spiridon “White/Metallic Silver/Light Concord”
Release Date: April 11th | Retail: $160 | Style Code: HF9117-100
Nike keeps it clean with this retro runner. The Spiridon returns with an all-white open mesh upper, accented by silver and purple details throughout. A large metallic Swoosh pops on the side, while reflective piping and purple mesh elevate the look. Underfoot, the signature wavy midsole houses full-length Zoom Air cushioning, sitting atop a segmented black outsole for that classic late ’90s runner feel. These drop April 11th via SNKRS for $160 in men’s sizes.
Nike Air Max 180 “The Suspended Hours”
Release Date: April 12th | Retail: $150 | Style Code: FZ3310-001
Nike teams up with Berlin’s Pan record label for a moody, mysterious take on the Air Max 180. This blacked-out silhouette ditches the bold colors and big branding for something darker and more rugged. The textured fabric upper, mini black Swoosh, and blurred image of the Greek god Pan on the outsole bring an eerie aesthetic. Iconic 180-degree Air cushioning keeps things grounded in classic tech. Look for this one on SNKRS April 12th for $150.
Air Jordan 3 Retro “Sail/Cement Grey” (Women’s Exclusive)
Release Date: April 12th | Retail: $200 | Style Code: CK9246-100
No week is complete without a Jordan drop. This women’s-exclusive AJ3 sports a smooth Sail leather upper with Cement Grey accents and a matte-finish elephant print. The classic visible Air unit is housed in the heel, while a Cement Grey Jumpman and outsole branding finish it off. Minimalist and clean, this pair drops April 12th on SNKRS and at Jordan retailers for $200 in women’s sizes.
