It’s the first full week of May, and spring is doing its thing—rain, blooms, and the countdown to summer break is officially on. You can almost smell the BBQ smoke and hear the midway bells at your local fair. And what better way to prepare for the season of sun, fun, and fits than with a fresh pair of kicks? At Sneaker Geeks, we’ve got your rotation covered with this week’s hottest drops from Nike, New Balance, Jordan, and Nike SB. Let’s dive into this week’s sneaker releases.
April 6th
Nike A’One “Pink Aura”
Colorway: Hyper Pink / Polarized Pink / Laser Pink / Arctic Punch Style Code: FZ8605-601 | Retail: $110 (Women’s), $90 (Big Kids)
Kicking off the week is the debut signature sneaker of WNBA superstar A’ja Wilson. The Nike A’One ‘Pink Aura’ is a bold introduction, drenched in varying shades of pink. The upper uses a knit textile in a dark Hyper Pink, while leather overlays wrap the top in tonal harmony. A glossy pearlized Swoosh on the side pairs perfectly with A’ja’s signature logo on the tongue and branding on the ankle.
Comfort and performance are prioritized with a Cushlon ST2 foam midsole and a TPU outrigger for extra stability. These drop on the SNKRS app and will be available in women’s and big kids’ sizes. Expect this debut to sell fast—it’s as powerful as the athlete behind it.
May 7th
New Balance 2010
Colorway: Dockside / Indigo Style Code: U2010AGY | Retail: $159.99
New Balance is back with a fresh silhouette that blends retro tech with modern design. The 2010 ‘Dockside with Indigo’ features dark green nubuck and synthetic overlays resting on a diamond mesh underlayer. The large reflective “N” logo and stylized NB branding bring attention to the rich detail.
The segmented ABZORB midsole ensures comfort, while a translucent TPU shank delivers added stability. Available only on New Balance’s site, this limited pair is capped at one per order and is final sale—so choose wisely.
Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Dirty Triple White’
Colorway: White Style Code: HJ9346-100 | Retail: $130
An all-white Air Force 1 in spring is a must, but Nike flips the script with the ‘Dirty Triple White.’ This version comes pre-aged, mimicking the life cycle of a well-loved pair—from creasing to grime-covered midsoles.
The insoles even give the illusion of sweaty sock wear. But here’s the kicker: as you wear them, the dirty look slowly reverses, revealing a cleaner finish over time. It’s a concept drop from the .Swoosh collection and will be available via 10-minute draw on SNKRS. A modern classic with a twist.
Nike Air Force 1 ‘Triple Black’
Colorway: Black Style Code: HJ9348-001 | Retail: $130
Completing the “Smoke and Mirrors” pack is the AF1 ‘Triple Black’—another wear-away gem. This all-black leather iteration honors those who’ve kept their Forces crisp through polish and pride. Hidden underneath the surface is a more refined version of the iconic AF1 that reveals itself with wear.
Embellished with a black dubrae, “00AF1” tongue branding, and .Swoosh on the ankle, this sleek sneaker brings mystery and heritage together. It drops the same day as its white counterpart on SNKRS via draw at 10 a.m. EST.
May 9th
Nike Air DT Max ’96
Colorway: University Red / Red Crush / White Style Code: IF1617-600 | Retail: $170
Prime Time is back. The Air DT Max ‘96 makes a triumphant return, this time honoring Deion Sanders’ mother, Connie. The flashy design features a University Red nubuck upper with signature claw marks revealing Red Crush tumbled leather underneath.
Deion’s logo hits the tongue, and white Swooshes balance out the aggressive red color scheme. Underfoot, a full-length Air Max-assisted midsole ensures comfort, while the bold aesthetic stays true to Sanders’ unmatched swagger. These drop May 9th on SNKRS in men’s sizing.
May 10th
Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘UNC Reimagined’
Colorway: Dark Powder Blue / Sail Style Code: DZ5485-402 | Retail: $180
Closing out the week in style, the Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Reimagined’ pays homage to MJ’s college roots with a UNC-inspired colorway. The worn-in aesthetic is key here—dark powder blue overlays, sail leather base, cracked leather collars, and a yellowed midsole give this pair the vintage appeal of a forgotten treasure in your dad’s closet.
A faded outsole and special aged box complete the package. Available in full family sizing, this nostalgic AJ1 will be on SNKRS and major retailers like Foot Locker and JD Sports.
