Best-selling sneakers of 2021

There’s no doubt that in the modern world, there are many people who are obsessed with sneakers. Whether it’s a particular brand, style, or availability, there are often several factors that can determine how popular a particular pair are and how much they sell for.

While the year isn’t complete just yet, here’s a quick look at some of the best-selling sneakers of 2021 so far (in no particular order).

Brooks Ghost 13

While it’s a close call between the Brooks Ghost 13 and the Adrenalin GTS 21, we think the Ghost 13 is currently taking the lead. There are several reasons why this particular pair has become so popular; providing next-level comfort, stability and grip. A perfect choice for long and casual runs, as well as general use, we recommend taking a closer look into these sneakers if you’re in need of a good quality pair of everyday shoes. 

Nike Air Force 1 Low

This isn’t going to be the only Nike pair you’ll see on this shortlist of top picks, but there’s no doubt that they are one of, if not the best, selling pair of sneakers of 2021. While the OG Air Force 1’s were discontinued in the 1980s, the newer models certainly follow in the footsteps of their predecessors. 

Air Jordan 1 Mid

Ever since the debut of the Air Jordan 1 back in the ‘80s, they’ve been a popular collection and are easily one of the most well-known sets not just in the Nike range, but in the sneaker market as a whole. With all this in mind, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a pair of Jordans have made it on the list of 2021’s best sellers. As you might expect, the Air Jordan 1 Mid shoes aren’t always the cheapest of options, but they certainly make up for it in quality and notoriety. 

adidas NMD R1

A remake of one of the classic Adidas sneakers, the NMD R1 retains everything that made them so popular all those years ago, with upgrades to suit the needs of current buyers. While the originals were made for trail-running specifically, the revamped design of these sneakers is far more versatile. Popular for their classic design, quality and performance, they’re an excellent choice for a wide variety of individuals.

Nike Air Vapormax Plus

Last but certainly not least is the Nike Air Vapormax Plus, a unique and striking design that takes inspiration from the 1998 Air Max Plus models while using the Vapormax technology to further improve their functionality. Better yet, there are simply so many options to choose from that you’re bound to find a pair that compliments your style.
