Matt Varga Not every week is going to be wall-to-wall bangers.
If you’re a New York Knicks or World Cup fan, maybe that’s welcome news, with multiple pre-orders and soccer-centric endeavors coming off the board last week. For this one, we’re prepping for the BAPE adizero EVO SL, bringing one of adi’s foremost collaborators onto one of their most beloved modern inventions, and the Nike Kobe 4 “Draft Day,” finally introducing a “blind box” concept into the Beaverton universe.
Even if its a somewhat light week, trust that there’s much to pay attention to, with most every major brand getting on the slate in some fashion. To whit, the Vans “Souvenir” series continues with a pink pair, whetting the appetite for three additional colorways coming down the line. New Balance adds two new looks for their 1890 and closes out Teddy Santis’ MiUSA seasonal efforts with the (informally titled) “Bart Simpson” 990v4.
While you can get a ten-thousand-foot view of what’s on the docket with the above preview, to see every pair queued up for the next seven days, you’ll need to view the complete list below. Attached to each day-by-day gallery are hyperlinks leading back to our original coverage of each shoe/collection — there you’ll find our analysis and direct “Where To Buy” links for release day. We’ll keep this page up to date with any late-breaking additions, but to ensure nothing falls through the cracks, keep our Jordan Release Dates and Sneaker Release Dates pages bookmarked.
June 24th starts the week with the Nike Air Max 95 Woven “Multi,” a mashup we’ve been awaiting for months at this point.
June 25th sees the Vans Old Skool “Souvenir” Asphalt continue the Chanel-inspired story with one of several options coming this summer. Then, it’s to the Boston brand for the New Balance 1890 “Outerspace” and New Balance 1890 “Linen,” fresh options for the hybrid silhouette, before the New Balance 990v4 “Bart Simpson” closes out the Made in USA Summer/Spring range. Finally, the Reebok Angel Reese 1 “Poison Angel” takes cues from one of Angel’s more iconic Halloween choices.
June 26th, just a few days after this year’s NBA draft, revisits 1996 via the Nike Kobe 4 “Draft Day,” also accompanied by a lifestyle go-with: the Kobe Dunk Low “Charlotte to LA.” Hoops stays in focus through the rest of the day; the Nike Book 2 “Just Book” embraces intra-brand synergy as Devin relives Don C’s AJ2, while the Nike Shox BB4 “Olympic” revisits Vince Carter’s thundering dunks with his original silhouette.
June 27th closes out the week with another long-awaited pair: the Bape adizero EVO SL, bringing mismatch branding to the red-hot lifestyle runner.
