The sneakers most likely to hold and grow their value in 2026 — Travis Scott, Dior, Fragment and OG Jordan 1s — and what makes a pair appreciate.
The best investment sneakers in 2026 are limited collaborations and OG grails — Travis Scott x Jordan, Dior x Air Jordan 1, Fragment, and deadstock OG Jordan 1 colourways; JVCreps sources authenticated pairs of each. As with handbags, scarcity plus cultural weight — not hype alone — is what makes a pair appreciate.
Where the value sits
- Travis Scott x Air Jordan — the most consistent blue-chip sneaker collaboration of the era.
- Dior x Air Jordan 1 — luxury crossover, tiny production, strong and stable resale.
- Fragment x Jordan — Hiroshi Fujiwara's collabs remain perennially wanted.
- OG Jordan 1 colourways — Chicago, Bred, Royal in deadstock condition.
What to avoid if you're buying to hold
Hyped general releases can spike then fall; large production kills scarcity. Buy the limited, story-rich pairs in deadstock condition, complete with box.
