Not an April Fools’ joke but Nike is dropping a Halloween Dunk on the 1st of the month. That’s how ridiculous delays in shipping have become during the pandemic. Aside from that, we’re getting a lot of other heat this week in terms of sneaker releases, so let’s jump right into it.

 

Union LA x Nike “Passport Pack” Dunk Low “Hyper Royal/Psychic Blue” & “Court Purple/White”

The sneaker community has been waiting on the release of these two colorways to complete the trio since we first saw the Union-exclusive “Pistachio” release back in February. Both the “Argon”-inspired colorway and the hometown Lakers-inspired joint will drop on the same day. With the bold stitching and mesh covering, these have already become a fan favorite in the hands of Dunk lovers and resellers. Head over to store.unionlosangeles.com to cop.

 

Release Date: March 31, 2022
Retail: N/A
Resell pre-release: $520 – $750 (Argon), $490 – $700 (Lakers)

 

Carhartt WIP x Converse CONS One Star Pro Ox

I am a huge fan of the One Star model from Converse. This limited edition CONS skate shoe done alongside Carhartt WIP has a timeless multi-tone suede, leather and canvas material combination. The color blocking is also perfect with that hit of gum on the toe of the outsole. This is the perfect daily grind sneaker. Hit up retailers like Extra Butter and END. to cop.

 

Release Date: March 31, 2022
Retail: $100
Resell pre-release: $100

 

New Balance 550WBG / 550BBB / 550WA

The New Balance 550 is probably the sneaker model of 2021 and still hasn’t lost any traction in 2022. If you weren’t able to get your hands on pairs up until now, fear now, three new colorways are arriving this week. A burgundy, baby blue and white colorway is paired with a orange and burnt sunset red look while a triple black one rounds out the trio. Hit up retailers like END. to score a raffle.

 

Release Date: March 31, 2022
Retail: $125
Resell pre-release: $145 – $450 (550WBG), $135 – $430 (550BBB), $265 – $580 (550WA)

 

Nike Dunk Low “Halloween”

Like I said earlier, this is not an April Fools’ joke — unless it gets delayed further. The classic black and orange color combination of Halloween gets the Dunk Low treatment with premium black leather overlay and a translucent sole. Look closely and you’ll see some eyes too. Hit up SNKRS app for a full family size run.

 

Release Date: April 1, 2022
Retail: $110 (Adults), $90 (Big Kids), $75 (Little Kids), $60 (Toddlers)
Resell pre-release: $185 – $240

 

END. x Diadora V7000 “Limoncello” & “”Grappa”

END. has teamed up with Diadora for some clean footwear inspired by lemons and grapes. Taking a journey through Northern Italy, the duo of V7000 silhouettes feature a combination of buttery leather and suede. The “Limoncello” pair has a lemon on the heel while the “Grappa” pair has a grape vine. Both come with a custom box depicting the fruits. Hit up END. to sign up for the “Limoncello” and “Grappa” raffles now.
