What is hot this season
Two things define 2026 so far: clean low-profile silhouettes and neutral colourways that go with denim, cargos and tailoring alike. The YZY YS-01 family has become the quiet flex of the year, the Samba OG refuses to die, and running-inspired pairs like the Adizero Evo SL and On Cloudtilt are crossing over into everyday fits.
Before you buy resale, know what you are paying for. Our guide on how to spot a fake Air Jordan in India is a smart read for anyone new to the market. Now, the list.
1. YZY YS-01 'Cream'
The YZY YS-01 'Cream' is the pair to start with at Rs 2,950. The soft off-white tone is the easiest colour to style, it sits flat and clean, and it reads expensive without shouting. Perfect for anyone who wants the YS-01 look on their first buy.
2. Nike Heritage Vulc SB Summit White Navy
At Rs 2,994, the Nike Heritage Vulc SB Summit White Navy is a low-key skate shoe that works everywhere. The white and navy combo is timeless, the vulcanised sole keeps it flat and flexible. Great for students and anyone who wears sneakers daily.
3. YZY YS-01 Fudge
The YZY YS-01 Fudge brings a warmer, deeper brown to the YS-01 line for Rs 2,999. It is the moody option, ideal with olive, cream and washed denim. Buy this if you already own a light pair and want contrast.
4. Nike Gamma Force (W) "White & Pink"
The Nike Gamma Force (W) "White & Pink" is our softest pick at Rs 2,701. The chunky sole adds height, the pink Swoosh keeps it playful, and it stays crisp with a white base. Made for women who want an easy, everyday statement pair.
5. YZY YS-01 BLACK
The YZY YS-01 BLACK is the stealth version of the year's favourite silhouette at Rs 3,510. All-black means it disappears into any fit and never looks dirty. The pick for minimalists who want one pair to do everything.
6. Adidas Samba OG 'White Clear Granite'
The Adidas Samba OG 'White Clear Granite' keeps the classic terrace shape with a subtle granite twist for Rs 6,435. Low, sleek and endlessly wearable. A safe, stylish upgrade for anyone building a grown-up rotation.
7. Adidas Samba OG 'CLOUD WHITE'
The purest form of the icon, the Adidas Samba OG 'CLOUD WHITE' is Rs 6,903 of clean, T-toe heritage. It suits literally every wardrobe and every occasion short of black tie. If you can only own one Samba, own this one.
8. Adizero Evo SL Black White
The Adizero Evo SL Black White at Rs 9,360 is the running-to-lifestyle crossover of 2026. Featherlight, springy and sharp in black with white accents. Ideal for people who want performance comfort without a bulky look.
9. Adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Carbon Beluga
A modern classic, the Adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Carbon Beluga is Rs 11,700 of Primeknit comfort with that unmistakable stripe. The muted carbon tone makes it more wearable than the loud Belugas. For collectors and anyone who wants a proper statement.
10. Cloudtilt Black Ivory
The On Cloudtilt Black Ivory tops the list on premium comfort at Rs 13,455. The sculpted On sole and black-ivory finish look futuristic yet clean. Worth it for anyone who is on their feet all day and refuses to give up on style.
