The ASICS Gel-1130 “Black/Silver” dominates the map more than any other shoe. It ranks number 1 in 20 states, which is not a number anyone would have predicted a few years ago. ASICS holding down more states than Nike, Jordan Brand, or Adidas combined is a real statement about where the market has moved.

The Nike Dunk Low leads in six states and the black and white Dunk Low from 2021 tops 5 more. The Air Force 1 Low “White” holds the top spot in 5 states as well. Between those three Nike models alone the brand covers a significant portion of the country.

The Air Jordan 11 Retro Legend Blue 2024 ranks first in four states. The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” and the Adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR “Onyx” each lead in two states. Several other shoes including the Converse Shai 001, the Nike Air Vapormax Plus, and the Adidas Samba OG “Cloud White” each claim one state individually.

Overall, the picture shows a resale market that has shifted noticeably away from Jordan Brand dominance and toward running silhouettes and lifestyle shoes.

StockX Most-Bought Sneakers

The ASICS Gel-1130 result is the most significant finding in the entire dataset. It is a clear signal that ASICS has built nationwide demand on the resale market.

The brand has been building momentum in the lifestyle space for several years. The StockX data confirms that the Gel-1130 specifically has converted that momentum into real purchasing volume.

The Nike results are also worth looking at more closely. The Dunk Low, Air Force 1, and older retro silhouettes holding multiple states shows that classic Nike models still move consistently across different regions. Jordan Brand showing up in only a handful of states tells a different story about where the hype has shifted since 2024.

The Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” leading two states reflects how strong the Kobe line has performed since Nike resumed production. Any colorway from that line generating top-state results on StockX confirms there is sustained collector demand well beyond the initial release windows.

Each bullet gon’ bite you when these dogs start barking

Quotable Lyrics from Essex_Honey.mp3

Hunt down a melody
How did you save your life?
I saw when you couldn’t survive
What did they teach you?
Face, walk, or hiding in their space?

The upper runs in black tumbled leather throughout. Cement grey elephant print covers the overlays and toe box in the same pattern as the standard Jordan 3 construction.

The Klaw logo appears on the insole and confirms the PE status immediately. During his years with Jordan Brand in San Antonio, Kawhi received a consistent stream of player exclusives across multiple silhouettes. Several of those pairs have surfaced publicly over the years. This Air Jordan 3 is the latest to get a wider look.

No release is attached to this shoe. It came up through a collector account and these images represent the first time most people have seen it. Spurs-era Kawhi Jordan PEs carry real weight among collectors. The combination of the player, the organization, and the Air Jordan 3 silhouette makes this one worth paying attention to.

Air Jordan 3 Kawhi Leonard “Spurs” PE

Kawhi Leonard built a notable PE history during his time with Jordan Brand in San Antonio. The organization received consistent support from the brand throughout that era. Player exclusives tied to specific teams and players from that period have become genuinely sought after in the collector market.

The black and grey colorway on this Air Jordan 3 is one of the cleaner Spurs PE executions that has come up publicly. Nothing about the design overreaches. The elephant print overlays and grey midsole stay true to the classic Jordan 3 formula while the color story connects it directly to San Antonio.

Spurs-era Kawhi PEs that surface tend to generate real interest regardless of the silhouette. The fact that this one landed on the Air Jordan 3 specifically gives it an extra layer of appeal. It is a significant silhouette in Jordan Brand history and a Kawhi Spurs colorway on top of it makes for a meaningful combination.

The Royal Pop is a collection of eight Bioceramic pocket watches inspired by the Royal Oak octagonal silhouette. It is designed to be worn around the neck on a lanyard rather than on the wrist. That pocket watch format makes it a natural canvas for a jeweler. The case sits flat and visible when worn as a pendant.

The Alex Moss version on display here keeps the pink case and blue dial intact. The jeweler then set the bezel with yellow diamonds running around the octagonal frame. Larger stones sit at the corners where the AP bolts typically appear. The combination of the original colorway and the diamond setting works cleanly together.

The Royal Pop marked the first time Audemars Piguet had ever licensed the Royal Oak design language outside of its own production. Overall that made the release historically significant beyond just the hype surrounding it.

Custom Iced Out AP x Swatch

Lines formed around city blocks outside Swatch boutiques globally on May 16. Security teams were called in at multiple locations. The crowd expected a wristwatch and got a pocket watch instead. That surprise did not slow demand at all.

The pink and blue colorway Alex Moss chose to work with is one of the more visually striking options from the 8-piece collection. Also the contrast between the hot pink case and the turquoise dial gives the jeweler’s diamond setting a vivid backdrop to work against. Yellow diamonds against that color palette is a deliberate and effective choice.

Audemars Piguet committed 100% of its proceeds from the Royal Pop collaboration to a fund supporting the preservation of watchmaking skills and the next generation of talent. Further, that commitment adds a layer of substance to a release that was already generating significant attention on its own terms.

Designer PDF Channel created the piece. The jacket pulls directly from the Iceman theme and runs with it completely. The entire exterior looks like it has been frozen solid. Textured ice-like sculpting covers the chest, shoulders, sleeves, and back.

The blue and grey tones give it the appearance of something pulled straight out of a freezer. A tan zipper runs down the center and provides the only warm element in the whole design.

The back panel is the most detailed section of the jacket. A full sculpted torso appears across it, complete with ribcage and muscle definition built into the fabric. The front chest pocket carries an embossed “Iceman” label pressed into the material. The whole piece looks more like a wearable art project than a standard custom garment.

PDF Channel posted the images publicly and credited Drake as the recipient. The jacket is one-of-a-kind. It was made for the album era and fits directly into the cold visual identity Drake has been building around the project.

Whether Drake actually wears it publicly remains to be seen. But the jacket has already done its job just by circulating online.

Custom ICEMAN Jacket For Drake

PDF Channel has built a reputation through one-of-a-kind celebrity customs. The Iceman jacket sits at the top of that catalog purely based on the concept and the execution. Building an entire frozen aesthetic into the physical structure of a jacket rather than just printing it onto fabric is a different level of craft.

The sculpted back panel is the detail that makes this piece genuinely unusual. Raised dimensional panels create the shape of a frozen torso across the rear of the jacket.

The embossed Iceman text on the chest pocket keeps the branding subtle against an otherwise dramatic piece. The tan zipper pulls the eye toward the center of the jacket and adds a color contrast that keeps the design from looking completely monochromatic. Together those choices show a clear sense of restraint within a very ambitious concept.

In 2023, Melly’s first murder trial ended in a mistrial after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict. Since then, the case has remained tied up in court as both prosecutors and defense attorneys continue to battle over evidence details. A retrial has been repeatedly delayed by legal disputes, keeping Melly incarcerated for seven years without a conviction. Throughout the case, he has maintained his innocence, while his friends, like Lil Tjay, hold Melly down while incarcerated.

Lil Tjay Has Long Supported YNW Melly

The two rappers have collaborated, even as Melly was behind bars. Recently, Tjay sat down with XXL and spoke about his friendship with Melly, admitting they talk regularly. “I [speak] with Melly a great amount of time,” Tjay said. “You know our birthdays are one day apart. And out of all the rappers, that’s one the closest [friends] I ever been to a rapper. That’s my other twin.” Tjay has also taken to social media to say Free Melly.

Back in 2025, Jamie Demon-King, YNW Melly’s mother, took to Instagram to voice her frustrations with his retrial. After being locked up for seven years, the rapper and his loved ones are looking for a resolution sooner rather than later. “Please make it make sense,” she said at the time. “We still have three or four more things up on appeal with the Fourth District Court of Appeal. So, we’re still kinda like in a stay… At this point, they need to just dismiss the case.”
