Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble
Release Date: June 24
Editor's Notes: Intrecciato weaving belongs to Bottega, but Nike has always known how to borrow a texture and make it its own. Here, this manifested in the weaving of neon colors, for a playful and vibrant reinterpretation of the braid-like style.
New Balance Made in USA 990v4
Release Date: June 25
Editor's Notes: There's a reason the 990 never had to chase relevance. New Balance dresses its homegrown flagship in a striking orange OG colorway, built stateside.
Nike Shox BB4
Release Date: June 26
Editor's Notes: One for the aficionados of early-2000s excess. The BB4 dropped during one of Nike Basketball's most experimental stretches, futuristic build, those chunky heel columns, a silhouette that looked like nothing else on court. But it was Vince Carter's leap in Sydney in 2000 that turned it into hoops history. Back now in White, Midnight Navy and Metallic Silver, it carries that whole era with it.
Adidas Originals x Brain Dead x Disney Predator
Release Date: June 28
Editor's Notes: A loud name attached to a quiet shoe. This black colorway puts all the attitude in the billing, then asks nothing of the rest of your outfit, one for people who want the references wink, not announce themselves shouting. Pair with denim or tailored trousers and let it gel with the rest of the rotation.
Crocs Quick Trail Racer
Release Date: June 25
Editor's Notes: Crocs leans further into its trail-ready era with the Quick Trail Racer, blending comfort, utility, and just the right amount of oddball energy. It's the kind of shoe that shouldn't work as well as it does, and yet...
Adidas Adizero Evo SL x Bape
Release Date: June 27
Editor's Notes: You don't hand BAPE an Adizero EVO SL and expect a running sneaker this... understated. The Japanese label does what it does best and flips the script: mismatched colors, split branding, and details built to be noticed from across the room. The 3-Stripes stay and keep the running roots honest, while BAPE supplies the noise.
Nike Air Rift 2 Kenya
Release Date: June 27
Editor's Notes: The Air Rift 2 Kenya revisits the popular split-toe silhouette, first floated in 2002. The tabi-inspired design is not surface-level, it runs through the forefoot and continues underneath the shoe, binding this pair to its predecessor structurally rather than just decoratively. Everything else, however, breaks from the blueprint's lean proportions: a fuller build and boot-like interior that trade airy freedom for a more secure, planted hold.
