This year has been full of awesome sneaker releases and unique colourways. Both Nike and Adidas have had a successful year of sold-out releases and huge mainstream hype. We have seen a lot of clean Jordan and Dunk Colourways sell out as well as comfortable Yeezy models. Overall a lot of must-haves have been hitting the market in 2021. Let us take a look at 5 of our favourite releases this year that we predict will have huge popularity in 2022 as well. Our friends over at Dinh Store have said these releases are definitely among the bestsellers.

AIR JORDAN 1 LOW UNC 2.0 

A few days after the Air Jordan 1 Low Travis Scott Fragment was released, Nike followed up with a new Air Jordan 1 Low in the iconic UNC colourway. The Air Jordan 1 Low UNC 2.0 features a white leather base in light blue colours. With navy blue laces, Swoosh and tongue, it gives a slight contrast to the overall look with the bright colours. There is a blue Jumpman logo on the tongue and a black Wings logo on the back. With the previous successes, the combination between the Air Jordan 1 Low and the University of North Carolina colours is now back for a second time! 

AIR JORDAN 1 HIGH SEAFOAM 

The Jordan Brand continues to expand its line of Air Jordan 1 Highs, this time in a new variation in pastel colours, Seafoam. The awesome Air Jordan 1 High Seafoam features a base of white leather with pastel green accents at the heel, laces and toe. Three different pairs of laces are included; one in white, one in seafoam, and one in orange and grey. Pictured is the white lace-up model, which combines with the white midsole to complete the look. 

AIR JORDAN 1 LOW WOLF GREY 

The popular Lows were released alongside the Air Jordan 1 Mid Wolf Grey, and feature colourways reminiscent of the extremely sought-after Air Jordan 1 Low Dior! The Air Jordan 1 Low Wolf Grey features a smooth white leather base with grey leather at the laces, heel, and front. Just like the Mid version, there is a transparent light blue outsole. The Jordan Wings logo on the back of the shoe and the iconic Jumpman logo on the tongue complete the stylish design. With the same style as the PRM Smoke Grey Elephant or Neutral Grey, this Air Jordan 1 Low in a simple colour combination will suit all outfits all year round. 

DUNK HIGH PANDA 

Following the huge success of the Dunk Low Black White, Nike now releases the colourway in a high version of the 2021 sneaker! The Nike Dunk High Panda features a classic smooth leather construction. The muted colour combination of black and white panels creates an old-school look with hints to the iconic 1985 Be True To Your School package. The two-tone sole, black laces, and perforated front create a simple yet stylish finish. They were first released in both 2008 and 2016, so the return of the timeless colourway could quickly become a must-have for every sneakerhead. 

NIKE DUNK LOW BLACK WHITE 

Released at the same time as the UNLV and Sail Coast, this version of the Dunk Low will be one of the first selections of new sneakers of the year. The Nike Dunk Low Black White features a white leather base with black leather panels that provide a clean contrast. There is a white Nike logo on the tongue and on the back of the shoe, there is a Nike text logo. The overall black and white colour combinations are echoed in the sole which helps complete the elegant look. This simple Dunk Low model is the perfect addition to your wardrobe as it can go with any outfit!
