5 Favorite Sneaker Releases: April 2024
Sneakerheads, the time has come when we have started to gain a spring back in our step and prepare for the warmer weather ahead of us.
With our sneaker game finally blooming and ready for the heat, we decided to take a look at some of the most hyped sneaker releases of April 2024.
1. Nike Air Max 95 ‘Atlanta’
Release Date: April 4th
Recommended Sneaker Care: Crep Protect FoamX
We kick off this lineup by taking a trip to the Southeastern state of Atlanta with a freshly rendered edition of the Air Max 95s that takes artistic nods to the lively city. Christian Tresser’s design gets upscaled with vibrant multi-tonal gradient hues mounted across the uppers, while netted mesh layering and hiking-style laces owe the fit some outdoor functionality.
Atlanta branding is inscribed on the heel to reinstate heritage, while Air cushioning remains below for optimal step-in comfort. This one-of-a-kind release aligns with the city's 404 day which pays ode to their ever-evolving creative landscape.
2. Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Vivid Sulfur’
Release Date: April 6th 2024
Recommended Sneaker Care: Crep Protect Starter Pack
With the year of the 4s in full force, the Jumpman brand has certainly not let us down with its spectacle of head-turning releases and this shows no signs of waning with its upcoming women’s exclusive ‘Vivid Sulfur’ colorway. This masterpiece comes dressed in a clean white leather base, intercepted by flavorsome yellow hues that add a pop of colour to the midsole, eyestays, Jumpman tongue branding and plush inner sockliner.
Stealthy tones of black charter the rubberized heel tab, winged eyelets, parts of the midsole and underlays the airy mesh sidewalls to provide that well-needed ventilation throughout. Below, everything remains court-focused with its Air cushioning system, keeping you comfortable on your feet all day long.
3. Nike Kobe 6 Protro ‘Italian Camo’
Recommended Sneaker Care: Crep Protect Spray
This April we see the return of the late Kobe’s renowned footwear line, making its waves into Spring 2024 with the Kobe 6 Protro ‘Italian Camo’. This rendition is as functional as it is fashionable, landing in a reptile-inspired material upper paired with camouflage accents that make up most of the fits’ entirety.
Vibrant hits of red linger on the Swoosh and branded tongue labelling, while a dual foam memory foam is housed in the insole for supreme cushioning and enhanced energy return from the forefoot to the heel. Beneath lies a responsive Air Zoom cushioning for powerful push-offs and dynamic movements, sitting on a traction-induced outsole for multidirectional tread with every step.
4. Air Jordan 5 Retro SE ‘Sail’
Release Date: April 13th 2024
Recommended Sneaker Care: Crep Protect Eraser
The Air Jordan 5 SE 'Sail' mixes cool vibes with a fresh look, perfect for sneaker lovers and collectors. Sporting a chill mix of Sail, Black, Light Orewood Brown, and Coconut Milk, it's both classy and casual. Made with top-notch suede and spiced up with hues of ‘Coconut Milk’ on the netting, it stands out in any collection. Light Orewood Brown warms things up, while black detailing and speckled shark teeth add some edge.
5. Travis Scott x Jordan Jumpman Jack ‘Sail’
Release Date: April 30th 2024
Recommended Sneaker Care: Crep Protect Wipes
While this is certainly not the first rodeo for the Travis Scott and Jumpman clan, the Travis Scott x Jordan Jumpman Jack sneaker is the collectives’ attempt to reinvent the wheel.
This new sneaker variant comes nostalgic with almost ‘Reverse Mocha’ vibes, flaunting a chic blend of white, brown, and tan. Crafted with premium tumbled leather and durable canvas, it features the signature reverse Swoosh and Cactus Jack flair. Marrying the classic Air Trainer 1 and Dunk styles, it nods to basketball’s golden days while rocking a modern skate shoe look.
