Not every week on the sneaker release calendar is created equal. Last week, Kobe Bryant's retro Nike basketball shoes overshadowed all of the other drops. However, this week is more well-rounded with a range of stylish options.

Whether hitting the streets or the hiking trails, Nike and Jordan Brand are crushing the competition with a strong selection of shoes this week. Below are the five best sneakers releasing between April 21-25, 2026.
