Don’t Sleep On The Air Jordan 1 Low ‘Mocha’ and Nike KD 4 ‘Aunt Pearl’

Don’t sleep on the Air Jordan 1 Low “Mocha,” one of 2024’s hottest sneaker releases. With its Travis Scott-inspired colorway, it’s expected to sell fast. Meanwhile, official images of the Nike KD 4 Retro “Aunt Pearl” reveal a fitting October release for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Air Jordan 1 Low ‘Mocha’ Defies Trends, Poised to Sell Out Quickly Like Its High-Top Predecessor

The Air Jordan 1 has entered a new phase where most releases no longer sell out instantly, regardless of trim. Instead, they linger on shelves and are often marked down, leading many sneaker enthusiasts to adopt a patient approach, waiting for discounts before purchasing. However, the Air Jordan 1 Low “Mocha” might be a rare exception to this trend in 2024. Sharing the same colorway as the immensely popular Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Mocha,” which became an instant hit due to Travis Scott's influence, the Low version offers a more casual alternative to one of the most sought-after Jordan releases in recent history.

A follow-up to the iconic high-top release from 2020, the “Mocha” Jordan 1 Low brings a contemporary aesthetic inspired by the Travis Scott collaboration but at a more affordable price. Available in adult sizes for $140, grade school for $120, pre-school for $75, and toddler sizes for $65, the "Mocha" is expected to be in high demand. Sneakerheads should act quickly, as purchase links in the "Where to Buy" section offer a chance for a swift checkout.

Nike KD 4 ‘Aunt Pearl’ Returns in 2024, Honoring Durant’s Late Aunt with Iconic Pink Design

In another anticipated release reported by Sneaker News, the Nike KD 4 “Aunt Pearl” returns in 2024, bringing back a fan-favorite colorway from Kevin Durant's signature line. The KD 4 was the first shoe in Durant's series to feature the “Aunt Pearl” design, crafted in memory of Durant's late aunt, Pearl Williams, who passed away from breast cancer in 2000. Since then, pink and iridescent themes have become staples in Durant's footwear, continuing to his latest signature shoe, the KD 17. The original 2012 KD 4 “Aunt Pearl” remains a prized item among collectors, often fetching upwards of $500 on the secondary market.

The 2024 retro stays true to its predecessor, with official images revealing an identical design to the 2012 version. The shoe is predominantly pink, with a white pearl pattern on the heel. While the original release came in May, the 2024 retro arrives more fittingly in October, coinciding with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The retro revival of the KD 4 has been a significant story in the sneaker world in 2024, with Nike re-releasing some of the model’s most iconic colorways, including the “Nerf” and “Weatherman.” However, many argue that the best has been saved for last with the return of the KD 4 “Aunt Pearl,” which is set for release on October 3rd. Sneaker enthusiasts eagerly await the chance to add this timeless design to their collections.
