A sneaker collection? In this economy?! Well, yes, if you can score some for retail, and maybe splurge on some on the aftermarket. But what if we told you that sneakers for under-retail exist and would make a great addition to your rotation? We know, it sounds too good to be true, especially with inflation in all industries. After all, even Jordan prices (and other silhouettes) keep going up! So, we decided to lend a helping hand and round up the coolest under retail sneakers on the market. Who knows? You might find just the right pair of beaters to wear in 2024! Let’s get this party started, shall we?
Under Retail Sneakers – Hot Kicks That Won’t Break the Bank!
As we already mentioned, finding affordable kicks isn’t always easy, but we’re gonna make it work for you! So, without further ado, here are some 2024 under retail sneakers that will totally spruce up your outfits. Now, let’s jump into what could potentially be your next catch!
The Newbies – 2024 Releases
Air Jordan 4 Oxidized Green & Military Blue
We could’ve talked about each one independently, but why do that when we can squeeze ‘em together? So, both of these colorways dropped in 2024, and not too long ago! Both colorways are such a cool mix of classic designs (think 2020’s metallic pack) and fresh colors. Now, the coolest bit about both is that you can get them for under retail! You can get the Oxidized Green 4s for about $160 and the Military Blues for as low as $180.
Jordan 11 Low Space Jam
If you’re a fan of the classics the way we are, you’re gonna love this one. The Jordan 11 Low Space Jam is a tribute to the 1996 classic movie and Jordan 11 Highs! And now, you can add them to your collection and style them as you please. Mind you, you can score them for as low as $150!
New Balance 550 Oreo
If you prefer something more lowkey and not flashy, New Balance got your back. The New Balance 550 is a silhouette that made its way to the list of classics in no time. So, it makes sense for the brand to drop them in your timeless black-and-white mix. If that sounds like you, then you’re in for a treat. You can snag a pair for $60 on average and even lower if you’re lucky.
Nike Kobe 4 Girl Dad
Although not all the sizes fit the bill, the Girl Dad Kobe 4s still qualify as under retail sneakers. You see, if you pick the size right, you could score the kicks for as low as $140! So, make sure you check the list of asks and maybe you’ll win the jackpot.
Under Retail Sneakers – The Classics
Air Force 1 White
Is it really a complete sneaker collection if you don’t have the ol’ faithfuls? Exactly. Luckily for you, the white Air Forces are available for you in a variety of sizes and prices. So if you’re looking for a new pair of beaters, we’ve got you covered. The Air Force 1 Triple White is available for you for under retail. That’s understandable considering their availability on the market. And well, despite Nike’s production cuts, the AF1 remains a fan favorite on both the retail and resale markets!
Nike Dunk Low Panda
Last but not least, the crowd favorite and most-hated shoe in the 2020s simultaneously, the Nike Dunk Low Panda. The colorway and the silhouette are both timeless, but even Nike didn’t anticipate how popular it would get. Everyone (and their mother) was rocking a pair of Pandas at the same time. So naturally, Nike decided to milk that popularity and restock the kicks so many times. Of course, that led to the kicks losing their value on the resale market. While that’s unfortunate for resellers, it’s great news for budget shoppers! Why? Because you can score the kicks for as low as $70 on the aftermarket!
