The newest release on this list just so happens to also be the tenth most valuable sneaker of 2018. Painted in an ultra clean off-white hue, the Nike Air Fear of God 1 'Light Bone' boasts a chunky midsole and a semi-translucent piece along the heel. A highlight of the shoe is the crazy lacing system which forms a triangle on the forefoot, while “AIR FEAR OF GOD” branding followed by the shoe's serial number, also appears.
Average resale: £958
Without a doubt one of the best 4D sneakers to date, the Daniel Arsham x adidas Futurecraft 4D 'Aero Green' is the holy grail for many sneakerheads. Crafted from Primeknit, these forward-thinking sneakers sit on top of a sole unit made with light and oxygen via Digital Light Synthesis. To top it all off, speckled laces are added to complement the intricate perforations across the model.
Average resale: £975
Made in collaboration with Norfolk, Virginia's Creme, as well as N.E.R.D, the Pharrell Williams x adidas Originals NMD Hu 'Homecoming' features enlarged branding in red and blue and a simple and straightforward brain logo in black and white. Equipped with a predominantly white upper as well, a full length Boost midsole is present for added comfort. A crazy design for a crazy price.
Average resale: £1,332
Continuing the blistering hype of 2017's iconic “THE TEN” collaboration, the coveted Off-White x Nike Air Jordan 1 'White' is constructed of leather and mesh on the upper, accompanied with deconstructed Swooshes and blue threading, as well as the iconic “AIR” branding on the midsole. As clean as it gets, the shoe's resale value hasn't decreased since it dropped in March, and we're not surprised.
Average resale: £1,471
Probably the most limited 4D sneaker to date, the Invincible x adidas Consortium Futurecraft 4D 'Prism' sits on top of a full length Futurecraft 4D midsole doused in an 'Ash Green' hue for unbeatable cushioning and is dressed in a sketchy Primeknit material across its upper. Exclusive to Asia, you'll need pretty deep pockets to cop, or plenty of connections.
Average resale: £1,642
Previously a 'Friends & Family' exclusive, the adidas Consortium Futurecraft 4D 'Friends & Family' was later released to the public in extremely limited quantities, but that didn't stop it from being one of the most valuable sneakers of 2018. Crafted from an ultra breathable Primeknit upper painted in an all grey hue, this shoe sits atop a full length 4D midsole for endless comfort.
Average resale: £1,885
Dutch artist Piet Parra needs no introduction in the world of art, streetwear, and most certainly sneakers, and for 2018, he teamed up with Nike for the iconic Parra x Nike Air Max 1 'Friends & Family'. Marking the first time the power duo collaborated since 2005, these vibrant creps are undoubtedly one of the most unique sneakers currently on the market, and this is reflected in its insane resale price.
Average resale: £2,082
Adorned with Miami-inspired design cues, with the tongue labels reading “305” and “MIA“, the Solefly x Nike Air Jordan 1 'Art Basel' is one of two sneakers introduced at Miami's Art Basel, but it's the one that didn't release to the public. Crafted from glossy patent leather, the exclusive crep comes with a gold Jumpman hangtag and two additional lacing options, allowing you to swap out colours or even alternate the colour-blocking.
Average resale: £3,254
In December 2017, Colette closed its doors after 20 years of business, and to celebrate the store's legacy, they teamed up with the Swoosh for the Colette x Nike Air Jordan 1 'Au Revoir'. Done up in colette's signature white and blue scheme, complete with its double dot logo and the years 1997 and 2017 to commemorate the period of service, this special sneaker comes with an insane resale price, and it definitely deserves it.
Average resale: £3,649
And last but not least, we have the Pharrell Williams x adidas Originals NMD Hu China 'Friends & Family'. Part of the 'China Exclusive' pack, this shoe is dressed in a cream Primeknit with a Boost midsole and Trail outsole sitting underfoot. The words “HAPPY” graces the sneaker, and glossy gold EVA plugs round off the design of the sneaker. Limited to just 300 pairs worldwide, let us know if you think it's worth the price!
Average resale: £3,873
