With summer just a few months away, Nike, New Balance, and Crocs are all expanding their model lineups. Between archival returns, reinterpretations, and new designs, May promises plenty of releases not to be missed. One thing's for sure, you'll need to stay on your toes!
New Balance 993 Made in USA "Interstellar" and "Chive"
Under Teddy Santis' creative direction, the New Balance Made in USA collection will continue to fuse the heritage of traditional craftsmanship with the innovation and aesthetic appeal of contemporary design. The result? Two new New Balance 993s ready to hit the shelves and perfect for the summer season.
The fifth season from the creator of the Aime Leon Dore label couldn't have started better. With a green colorway for one and purple for the other, the folks from Boston add a touch of freshness to their Made in USA range. On the materials side, each pair will feature nubuck, mesh, and leather. In short, a harmonious balance between spring hues and timeless design.
The pairs arrive on May 2nd on New Balance, each priced at 240 euros.

View on the calendarSalehe Bembury x Crocs Pollex Saru
The New York designer isn't done with Crocs. Since 2021, Salehe Bembury has been working to evolve the Pollex Pod collection to bring the clog back into the sneaker scene. After his interpretation of the Pollex Clog, the Pollex Slide, and the Juniper, the designer shared his next summer model on social media: the Crocs Saru Clog, which already comes in three colorways.
Just like previous models, the fingerprint of the creative director of the Crocs Pollex Pod range serves as the starting point for the clog, crafted with a monochrome EVA upper. On the colorway side, each design adopts a monochrome shade of green, brown, or beige that enhances the perforations on the forefoot.
The Salehe Bembury x Crocs Pollex Saru will also arrive on May 2nd on the beaspunge website. The price has not yet been revealed. Stay connected!

View on the calendarSupreme x Nike SB Air Darwin Low
There's a Swoosh in the air for James Jebbia and his team! After the launch of the Supreme x Nike Air Max Dn last February, the two collaborators are already back. This time, the New York label will reimagine the Air Darwin silhouette, first launched in 1994. On the menu: four pairs proudly displaying the Supreme x Nike co-branding.
While the model was originally designed for basketball, the two partners have restructured the pair to adapt it to the Swoosh's skateboarding division. Where the original design featured a leather upper, Supreme rethinks each pair with canvas. On the colorway side, the two partners pay tribute to the original 1994 version with an immaculate edition while the other pairs opt for black, camo, or neon green.
One thing's for sure, you'll need to be quick to cop your Supreme x Nike SB Darwin Low as each pair arrives this Thursday, May 2nd in stores and on Supreme.com. Drop time is set for 5 PM!

May will continue to carry the Air Max range as the Swoosh pushes forward with its latest cushioning revolution in Air technology: the Air Max DN.
Dynamic cushioning. Breathable upper. Superior support. The Nike Air Max DN continues its momentum with three new seasonal releases. On the menu: a fierce blend of gray and orange for one, while the other two opt for softer combinations of white and lilac.
The Air Max DN "White Metallic Silver," "Platinum Violet," and "Particle Grey" will arrive on May 3rd on Nike and at other retailers. Each pair will retail at 170 euros.

View on the calendarAir Jordan 4 Retro "Military Blue"
Back to the classics. The sportswear brand continues the festivities for its fourth signature shoe by reissuing its legendary Air Jordan 4 "Military Blue". While the pair had already made a noted comeback in 2006 and 2012, the Nike Air branding on the heel was missing. To celebrate properly, Jordan is planning a design as close as possible to the retro version. Attention collectors!
White leather. Light gray nubuck. Blue accents. There's no doubt, the design returns with its 1989 characteristics. On the branding side, the sportswear brand banks on the elements that marked sneaker culture, including the oversized Jumpman logo, the Nike Air on the heel, and the side netting.
The Air Jordan 4 Retro Military Blue makes its grand return on May 4th on SNKRS. You'll need to be quick!

Like it or not, there are colorways that match perfectly within the Jordan lineup. If there's one that resonates with everyone, it's the "Sail." This month, the sportswear brand's fifth signature shoe returns with a reinvented design.
Premium materials. White blends. Black accents. The pair reprises the design details of its OG shape. Naturally, it's completed by its iconic details, including the translucent sole, the lace-lock, and the breathable side panels. However, its distinctive reflective tongue is presented in a tonal color and texture, instead of its usual flashy finish.
The Air Jordan 5 SE "Sail" is expected on May 8th on Nike SNKRS, priced at 210 euros.

We've been waiting since last July, and the Hot Step 2 has finally made its debut! By releasing the Nocta x Nike Hot Step 2 "Total Orange", the sneakerheads' favorite Certified Lover Boy has given new life to his first-generation Hot Step. Naturally, the two partners have already planned to expand the basketball-inspired lineup with a new release.
White mesh. White leather. There's no doubt, champagnepapi's label continues to deliver. And while the branding side features a mini-Swoosh and the Nocta emblem, the immaculate version drops the chrome details seen on the previous design. A detail that won't stop it from becoming this summer's hit.
The pair will be available on May 9th on Nocta at a price of 200 euros. However, its SNKRS release remains to be confirmed. Just a bit more patience!

The German brand hasn't said its last word! Following a relatively quiet period at the end of 2023, the collaboration between Bad Bunny and Adidas will make its grand return this month. Once again, the three stripes brand's must-have will pass through the hands of the Puerto Rican artist and is sure to echo the Bad Bunny x adidas Campus "Brown."
Benito's creative vision will merge with the German brand's heritage. On the menu: quality materials like shaggy brown suede and premium off-white leather. On the branding side, the design will highlight Bad Bunny's DNA one more time with the addition of his eye logo and his signature double snap tongue.
The pair arrives on May 11th at a price of 160 euros on the Adidas Confirmed app!

Travis Scott and Jordan don't let up! While La Flame's first signature shoe has just hit the shelves, he's already back to expand the Air Jordan 1 Low range. Contrary to rumors that Travis Scott and Jordan were putting an end to their collaboration on the low-top, new versions will continue to be released starting in May.
Alongside a Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG SP "Black Olive", the two partners unveil a yellow design, far from the usual tones. Enhanced by its traditional reverse Swoosh, the pair even features several blue details on the tongue along with a brown gum outsole.
Mark your calendars as the pair is set to release on May 17th on Travis Scott's website and Nike SNKRS. Priced at 160 euros.

At last, Jordan will vibrate to the rhythm of Brazil. While J Balvin signed his third interpretation of the Air Jordan line in 2023, the two partners are already back to expand their successful collaboration. An opportunity for the prince of reggaeton to continue his work on the model and set course for the wonderful city of Rio, in tribute to his son.
While the "Medellin Sunset" version draws inspiration from the sunsets of Antioquia's mountainous province in Colombia, this design captures Rio's twilight in premium quality. On the menu: black leather, gradient overlays, and the iconic elephant print. All elevated by a hangtag bearing the artist's likeness.
The pair is scheduled to release on May 22nd on SNKRS. It's priced at 250 euros.
