5 kicks you should own after Sneaker Con Chicago

For sneaker enthusiasts, events like Sneaker Con are prime time to get a hold of a pair of kicks you’ve been trying to hunt down. On June 6, Sneaker Con took over the Windy City, where people could sell, buy, or trade sneaks. No one walked into Skyline Ballroom with anything short of fire on their feet, as the previous Sneaker Cons have shown that this is the time to whip out the best of your collection. Guest appearances were expected ( James Harden was buying sneakers at the first Sneaker Con in Houston), and Chicago will welcome Don C to its Sneaker Con this year. Whether you already drafted up your list of must-haves or you just recently caught sneaker fever, here are 5 pairs you should look out for.

#5 Air Jordan 5 Space Jam

If you’d forgotten that Michael Jordan teamed up with the Looney Tunes in Space Jam, these kicks will refresh your memory. They were set to be released the same day as Sneaker Con in Chicago: June 6.

#4 Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey

The king of the Air Jordan empire brought us the Cool Greys originally in 2001, but saw a re-release in 2010.

#3 Yeezy Adidas 750 Boost

#2 Yeezy 2 Red October

Kanye West has undoubtedly made his mark in the sneaker world, selling out so fast that if you blinked when they were released then you already missed your chance to buy them. Look out for those bright Red Octobers and the more minimalistic 750 Boosts that made their debut during Fashion Week.

#1 Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG

These re-released sneaks channel your nostalgia for the first Air Jordans to ever drop. Weren’t even born in the 80s when the originals came out? No worries, now you can get the freshest version of the old school Jordans.

Did you leave with any of these in hand?
