# The Daily Drip\n## 30 April 2026\n\nThe top of the index moved today. The **Adidas x Wales Bonner Track Pants** climbed 13.64 points to a 93.8 drip score, taking the number one spot off the sneaker block and giving sportswear its first throne moment of the cycle. The Jabbar three-stripe pant is doing something the rest of the Wales Bonner Adidas range never quite has, which is reaching the people who buy track pants for the gym, not the runway.\n\nBehind it, **Hellstar x Adidas Superstar II** holds at 93.1, **Virgil Abloh Archive x AJ1 Alaska**, **JJJJound x Asics Gel-Kayano 14** and **Nike Kobe 11 Elite Protro** all sit at the same 93.1 line. The four-way tie at the top of the sneaker leaderboard is actually a fairer reflection of what is happening on the resale market than yesterday's ranking, where one product was running away.\n\n### Three new entries\n\nThree fresh products joined the index today and all three landed above 70:\n\n* **Adidas x Liverpool 2026-27 Home Kit** entered at 78.5 (SURGING) on the back of the leaked first image showing the Active Maroon, candy-stripe-throwback design. Anfield is already calling this the kit of the cycle.\n* **Nike LeBron 23 Good Intentions** entered at 80.4 (SURGING). The pink-and-gold colourway tied to The Decision is the strongest LeBron release in two years.\n* **Nike Mind 001 Slide Blackened Blue Game Royal** entered at 70.2 (RISING). Recovery footwear keeps growing as a genre and Nike's Mind Science line is the one to beat.\n\n### Biggest risers\n\nFive products hit the daily +15 cap. **Arsenal 2025-26 Away Kit** moved to 75.6 (SURGING) on Places+Faces capsule spillover, **Adidas x Wales Bonner Stripe Knit Cardigan** climbed to 88.3 (SURGING), **Air Jordan 5 White Metallic** reached 67 (RISING) post-launch buzz, and the two **Maison Margiela Tabi** products (the Reebok Classic and the original ankle boot) both jumped to 52 and 48 respectively as Tabi keeps quietly winning the resale conversation.\n\n### Biggest fallers\n\n**Palace x Adidas Superstar** lost 3.97 points to 81.4 (still SURGING) as attention rotates to the Palace x Nike Air Max 95 launch. **Nike Tech Fleece Joggers** dropped 3.93 points, **Cactus Jack Gangster SpongeBob** lost 3.5, and **Adidas Originals Gazelle OG Burgundy** softened 3.81 points as the broader Gazelle wave continues its slow cool. **Under Armour Curry Brand Hoodie** also slid into STEADY territory.\n\n### State of the index\n\n518 products tracked. The status board reads ON_FIRE 17, SURGING 53, RISING 144, STEADY 220, COOLING 73, SLEPT_ON 14. COLLAB_DROPS leads the heat slots with 22 of 70, followed by SNEAKERS at 15 and KIT_CULTURE at 13. Luxury is showing nine entries on the heat list, healthier than last week and led by the Cartier Tank revival.\n\nThe sneakers-vs-everything-else balance is the healthiest we have seen since the index launched. Cricket kits are quietly rising, the Caitlin Clark Kobe is still locked in at 93.1, and the Stella McCartney x Jeff Koons capsule keeps doing the editorial work of three normal collabs. See you tomorrow.
