Budget Heat: May’s 10 Best Sneakers for $100 or Less

Budget Heat May 2015

Summer is here, which means it’s time to start spending your money on important things for summer time fun. Ice cream, new shorts, a beach ball, sunscreen, fireworks, beer…the list goes on. With all these new essential seasonal purchases, we’re back again with another edition of Budget Heat to make sure your wallet stays padded while still being able to look fresh.

Keeping in mind the warm summer weather, we tried to find a selection of sneakers that will keep you feeling just as cool as you look, with light, airy, and low-top models from a wide variety of brands. No boots here. We’ll save those for winter. Continue on to see our top ten picks this month for sneakers priced at $100 or less.

Nike Sb Janoski Canvas Polka Dots

Nike SB Zoom Janoski Canvas Premium “Polka Dots” ($85)
The classic Janoski in a fun summer dotted canvas upper. You can pick these up right now directly from Nike.

Adidas Superstar City Pack New York

adidas Superstar “City Pack” – New York ($100)
All of the new tonal suede colorways of the Superstar city pack are nice, but we’re a bit partial to the New York colorway sporting the Statue of Liberty on the heels. You can buy a pair right now from Oneness.

Saucony Dxn Trainer Bermuda Budget

Saucony DXN Trainer “Bermuda” ($100)
The newly re-introduced DXN Trainer from Saucony debuts in a colorway specifically built for summer, featuring a tropical Bermuda themed set of blue tones on the lush suede upper. Pick them up from Saucony Originals retailers like Rise before they all float away.

Nike Air Huarache Wolf Grey Budget

Nike Air Huarache “Wolf Grey” ($100)
Tonal Wolf Grey Huaraches to match anything you’re wearing this summer from dark black Ray-Bans to neon pink tank tops. (We don’t necessarily suggest you wear the latter, though.) You can cop a pair now from select Nike Sportswear stockists like Kith NYC.

Nike Roshe Run Calypso Restock

Nike Roshe Run “Calypso” ($75)
One of the original and still best colorways of the Roshe Run is back! If there’s a better summer shoe, we haven’t found it. Grab the awesome Pure Platinum and Calypso Roshe now from Nike Sportswear retailers like Proper.

Adidas Sl Loop Chromatech Tellow Budget

adidas SL Loop Racer Chromatech ($95)
The SL Loop was a hit shoe for adidas last summer, and now it transforms into the sleeker SL Loop Racer for another run this year. An added bonus: these come with a unique color-shifting Chromatech treatment developed by adidas to make them stand out even more. Cop a pair online from adidas or your local adidas Originals stockist.

Dqm Blue Note Vans Era Lx

DQM x Blue Note Records x Vans Era LX ($94)
Not often does a collab clock in at under $100 these days, but this awesome team-up from DQM and Vans with legendary jazz label Blue Note manages to—even with a special box. Adorned with many of the most classic releases from the label over the years, these are a must have for any fan of sneakers and jazz. Purchase a pair while they last straight from DQM.

Greats The Bab Budget Heat

Greats The Bab ($59)
Part chukka silhouette, part soft and and comfy mesh-bottomed sneaker a la the Roshe, The Bab from Greats is a stylish and affordable option for summer. Take your pick from a plethora of colorways online at Greats.
