This past weekend’s huge amount of sneakers releasing for All-Star Weekend and Valentine’s Day surely did some serious damage to many of our bank accounts or credit card bills. From the adidas Yeezy, to the Nike Basketball All-Star collection, to a wide offering of retro Jordans, they all didn’t come cheap, either.
If your sneaker funds are feeling depleted for the rest of the month after last weekend, have no fear, because we’re back with another edition of Budget Heat for your thrifty sneaker needs. Browse this month’s ten picks for hot sneakers for $100 or under, and keep your pick-ups going for the rest of the month at wallet-friendly prices.
