There are many releases on the Nike Dunk Low. Created in 1985 by the late Peter Moore, this must-have needs no introduction. Timeless, it seemed obvious that a lowtop would be among the best sneaker releases of May. Thus, Nike intends to showcase the creativity of its designers and its ability to renew itself by introducing a new lowtop, very different from what is usually offered.
Inspired by the turbulent waters of the ocean, this new pair appears as an ode dedicated to this giant. Indeed, it is dressed in a significant touch of originality with a rough texture that perfectly imitates it. Moreover, the Swoosh brand has also opted for a shiny rubber outsole that perfectly replicates the composition of aqueous foam.
Undoubtedly one of the most original designs of this month, the Nike Dunk Low “Ocean” will be released on May 14, 2022, at a price of €120 on SNKRS. Thus, it ensures boldness and authenticity to those who validate this new pair.

Certainly one of the most hyped silhouettes of Jumpman, the Air Jordan 4 continues to make an impression with many new colorways, but also OG. Creating a pair after the release of the Air Jordan 2 was not an easy task, Tinker Hatfield has established this model as one of the most iconic in sneaker culture. Thus, Jordan does not intend to let this iconic design be forgotten and unveils a colorway with a retro spirit.
Long awaited, Jumpman has revealed a silhouette inspired by OG as it takes the color blocking of the legendary Air Jordan 4 “Military Blue” released in 1989. With a classic look and a white leather upper, it is bound to be one of the biggest releases of May. Moreover, it consists of traditional elements such as beautiful white side nets, black TPU elements, and its efficient visible air bubble.
The Air Jordan 4 Retro “Military Black” will be released on May 25 at a price of €200 on SNKRS and is likely to be one of the hardest to cop this month.

Made with premium quality, it consists at first glance of a cream mesh base with multiple brown overlays. This unrecognizable Air Max 1 is adorned, as you can hear, with an inverted swoosh that has become the rapper's trademark.
