Under the Radar: June’s Unhyped Sneakers You Still Need

Under The Radar June 2016

This June was dominated by a few hyped sneakers including the latest colorway of the adidas YEEZY Boost 750, the debut of the adidas AlphaBOUNCE, and even the surprise post-Championship popularity of the new Nike LeBron Soldier 10. If you’ve been anywhere near a sneaker site this past month, you already know about these shoes, but what about the rest of the excellent models flying under the radar? That’s where we come in, by featuring some of June’s best releases that you may have missed or are worth another look. We hand-picked ten of the month’s freshest sneakers perfect for adding to your late summer sneaker rotation. Find them all below.

Adidas Superstar Primeknit White Multicolor S75845

adidas Superstar 80s Primeknit “Multicolor”

The Primeknit version of the adida Superstar gets its most colorful look yet with this rainbow assortment of hues mixed in with the white woven upper. The Superstar like you’ve never seen it before can be found now at select adidas Originals supplies like Extra Butter.

Nike Roshe Flyknit Multicolor Black Utr

Nike Roshe NM Flyknit “Multicolor”

If it’s the “multicolor” motif you’re looking for but aren’t a fan of the Superstar, then perhaps the return of the Roshe Flyknit in its own array of woven hues is up your alley. Originally releasing in early 2015 in women’s sizing that quickly sold out, the rainbow Roshes are now up for grabs in men’s sizing, and in stock now at select shops like UBIQ.

New Balance Mrl999 Decon White Leather

New Balance 999 Decon “Triple White”

Our vote for the most pristine sneaker of the month is this impeccably white edition of the New Balance 999 Decon, featuring the deconstructed build of the classic silhouette in a premium white leather upper with nothing but more white everywhere else. The perfect pair of New Balances for the rest of the summer can be found now at sneaker shops like Kith NYC.

Asics Gel Sight Whisper Pink Utr

ASICS GEL-Sight “Whisper Pink”

Easily the freshest ASICS colorway of the summer, the GEL-Sight retro gets one of its best looks yet with this edition in subtle shades of white, light tan, and pastel pink for the premium suede upper. The super clean colorway is available now at many ASICS Tiger retailers, including Rock City Kicks.

Saucony Shadow Original Neapolitan Tan Pink

Saucony Shadow Original “Neapolitan”

Looking like a delicious slab of Neapolitan ice cream, this premium edition of the Saucony Shadow Original features a suede upper in strawberry and chocolate shades with vanilla midsoles. One advantage these sneakers have over real ice cream: they won’t melt in the summer sun. Scoop up a pair at select Saucony Originals suppliers like Oneness today.

Vans Sk8 Hi Zip Tonal Burgundy

Vans Sk8-Hi Zip Mono “Port Royale”

The Vans Sk8-Hi is looking classier than ever with this monotone colorway of the Zip construction in a lush shade of Port Royale. Constructed in high quality suede and canvas and featuring the zip-up enclosure at the heel for easier access, the wine red Sk8-Hi’s are available now directly from Vans.com and select Vans retailers.

Adidas Alphabounce Ash B54188

adidas AlphaBOUNCE “Ash Grey”

The spotted colorway of the adidas AlphaBOUNCE was one of the most hyped sneakers of the month and sold out quickly but what about the other colorways? A number of non-hyped but still totally solid colorways of the hottest new adidas performance runner are readily available, like this Ash grey edition, which actually still has some of the spotted design, just presented more subtly. The amazing comfort and style of the AlphaBOUNCE can be enjoyed by picking up a pair now at adidas.com and select adidas retailers.

Air Huarache Purple Punch Retro Utr

Nike Air Huarache “Purple Punch”

Quietly releasing out of nowhere, one of the last original colorways of the Nike Air Huarache never to retro finally just did. The OG “Purple Punch” look pooped up on Nike.com this month, and was surely a pleasant surprise for those waiting all these years for its return. Whether you’ve been waiting for a retro or just saw this excellent white, purple, and black color combo for the first time, you can pick up your pair now.

Adidas Gazelle Vapor Pink Utr

adidas Gazelle “Vapor Pink”

The Gazelle is back in a big way this summer, as adidas Originals makes a major push for the classic model with the re-introduction of its early ’90s iteration. Already dropping in a number or clean suede looks, one of the most memorable so far is certainly this rendition in light pink with white accents. Think pink with your own pair, available now at boutiques like Rise.

Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Spiridon Red 2 Utr

Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Flyknit

At $200 it’s a bit more pricey than the rest of the sneakers on this list, but the new Air Zoom Mercurial Flyknit built atop the tooling of the soon-to-return Zoom Spiridon from 1997 is just too good to pass up. The latest iteration of the Nike Mercurial soccer cleat gone casual may be the very best yet. This bright red colorway just arrived at Undefeated.
