If there's one brand racking up numerous successes, it's Asics. Thanks to its innovation capacity and high-performance technologies, the Japanese brand now stands among the essential sportswear names in sneaker culture.
To maintain its success, the brand has been rethinking numerous models, including its Gel-1130 from the 2000s archives. Drawing inspiration from several decades of evolution, the GEL-1130 sneaker pays tribute to the GEL-1000 series. And to elevate this shoe's structure, similar to the Asics Gel-Kayano 14, a superb summer colorway has been added.
This Asics Gel-1130 "Cream" will release on July 1st at a price of 100 euros on Asics. It will also be available at other retailers.

This new iteration by Sean Wotherspoon, the committed designer behind the iconic Nike Air Max 1/97, is part of a three-pack of adidas Orketro: the Sean Wotherspoon x adidas Orketro "Multicolor" released in January 2023, the "Off-White" dropping on July 7th, and finally a third blue, green, and yellow colorway that Sean showcases on his social media without announcing a drop.
The tone-on-tone off-white panels reveal an asymmetric upper, with three inverted stripes at the toebox. The collaboration on this adidas sneaker stands out thanks to Sean Wotherspoon's initials embroidered in green, but especially because it's a vegan pair made with renewable materials, like most products created by the American designer. It will be completed by cork insoles and Adiprene cushioning for optimal comfort.
The Sean Wotherspoon x adidas Orketro "Off-White" should release on the adidas Confirmed app and at other retailers on July 7th. It is priced at 160 euros.

Of course, this summer will again see new Nike Dunk sneaker colorways appearing alongside the Nike Dunk Low Panda, which restocks later this month. In the same spirit as the Nike SB Dunk Low "Chicago", this new red and black sneaker tips its hat to the Chicago Bulls.
The mudguard, eyelet, and quarter panel elements adopt a bright red hue on this retro-styled shoe. The sneaker's originality lies in the Swoosh, branding, and outsole, all of which are split in two, with one part black and the other white.
The Nike Dunk Low Retro PRM "Chicago Split" will release on July 13, 2023 at a price of 130 euros on Nike and at other retailers.

July will finally be the occasion for Drake to introduce his new silhouette, teased for over a year during a Toronto Raptors game. Just like the Nike Hot Step Air Terra pairs, this one draws its inspiration from the Certified Lover Boy's hometown, but this time inherits the codes of the Nike Air Zoom Flight 95, popularized by Jason Kidd.
For this occasion, the Nocta label opts for similar materials, including the prominent carbon fiber panel present on the upper and its sole featuring an imposing bug eye. However, this Nike Nocta Glide asserts itself with numerous innovative details. Know that the collection could quickly expand with other versions.
The Nocta x Nike Glide "Black White" will launch on July 20, 2023 at a price of 160 euros on SNKRS and at other retailers. Mark your calendars!

If this pair looks familiar, that's normal! For several months, Nike has decided to put this model, created in 1984 for tennis player John McEnroe, back in the spotlight, notably by having it appear on Travis Scott's feet. More recently, the streetwear shop Social Status seems to have customized its version of the Nike Mac Attack with a white and silver colorway.
A mesh base and white leather overlays dress this pair pulled from the archives. For contrast, flamboyant red adorns the Swoosh, ankle collar, heel, and outsole, echoing the tag on the tongue which is surrounded by a grey checkerboard pattern.
The Nike Mac Attack "Red Crush" will make its appearance on July 21, 2023 at a price of 120 euros on Nike and at other retailers.

And this time, it abandons its suede panels and switches to an upper made entirely of leather, already ensuring its resounding success.
This Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "University Blue" will release on July 22, 2023 at a price of 180 euros on SNKRS. Know that it will also be available at numerous retailers.

When Jordan Brand decides to unveil a new colorway for its Air Jordan 3, it doesn't do things halfway! One can think back to the Air Jordan 3 White Cement Reimagined, or more recently the rumors about the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 3. For this summer, a new version in on-trend tones will make its appearance.
Continuing its streak of attractive colorways, this Air Jordan 3 reveals an upper in cream with the traditional elephant print, this time in a brown hue. To harmonize the design and soften the brown tones, the Jumpman logos are gold, bringing a touch of brightness to the shoe.
The Air Jordan 3 "Palomino" will be available on July 29, 2023 at a price of 210 euros on SNKRS and at other retailers.
