It’s a new month and you know what that means — new sneaker drops! Jordan Brand brings back an iconic OG colorway of the Air Jordan 1 in a summer-ready lowtop, New Balance is ready to celebrate Grey Days and the month will close with some (unofficial) acknowledgement of the OTC with the “Bloodline” Air Jordan 12.
Here’s your playbook for the top sneakers dropping this month.
Top Sneaker Drop of May 2026: BIKE AIR x Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4
- Release Date: May 22, 2026
- Original Retail Price: $230
- Where to cop: Nike SNKRS; StockX; GOAT
Nigel Sylvester is back with the follow up to his beloved Brick By Brick Air Jordan 4 collab, this time representing “the next evolution of not only reaching, but sustaining your dreams.”
The Brick After Brick has big shoes to fill, as the Brick By Brick was many people’s sneaker of the year for 2025 (although, it did not make my 2025 list). If anything, this version might be even more wearable, swapping the majority bright red upper with premium white leather upper with sail, cinnabar, anthracite and muslin accents.
Early signs from StockX — a $677 average price on seven sales over the past three months — suggest this will be another popular drop in line with the Brick By Brick. And the Jordan 4 remains one of the more popular Air Jordan models, so best of luck to people looking to pick up a pair.
