Sporty & Rich x Adidas Samba “Olympic’- July 29th
Emily Oberg’s label is not a stranger to the three stripes. The partnership has flourished some tastefully low-key collaborations in the last few years. This Olympic pack is no exception. The Olympic samba features what you would expect from an American themed sneaker. The white upper, with hits of navy and red, is contrasted with a tasteful off white toe cap and sock liner. The sneaker is rounded out by the iconic samba gum bottom. The collection will also feature a Handball Spezial and an Adistar Cushion. The collection will hit Adidas Confirmed on June 29th.

Nike SB Dunk Low “Burnt Sunrise”- July 30th
Nike SB is really rubbing it in our faces with this one. The Burnt Sunrise colorway gives off strong feelings of Fall and Winter. The time of the year where it cools down and the spices of the earth take a hold of us. But before I yearn more for relief from this blistering heat, we have to talk about the gum bottom that brings this shoe all together. The Burnt Sunrise SB Dunk Low releases on July 30th via SNKRS.

Nike Dunk Low “Neapolitan”- July 30th
Great. Now I want Ice Cream.
The Nike Dunk is no stranger to the earthy tones- it’s what has helped garner such fan fair post 2020. Though the buzz has demished, it does not change the fact that a good shoe is a good shoe. The ice cream motif is obvious, if the nickname wasn’t enough. Nailing home the point, though, is the hits of cherry red on the heel and on the insole. The metaphoric cherry on top. The sneakers will hit SNKRS on July 30th.

Nike Sabrina 2 “United”- August 1st
The roll out for the Sabrina 2 continues to push strong. The latest colorway should come as no surprise as Ionescu makes her Olympic debut this week for Team USA. The colorway is patriotic, as one would almost assume a primarily Red and Navy sneaker would be. We have previously covered the sneaker’s inspiration and tech. You can pick up the United colorway of the Sabrina 2 via NIKE on August 1st.

Air Jordan 6 “Olympic”- August 3rd
You really can not pick a better shoe to round out the first weekend of the Olympic games. This sneaker’s lineage is quite literally that of existing because of the Olympics. First debuting for the Sydney Olympics in 2000, the only other time the sneaker has released was to celebrate the 2012 Olympic games in London. Now, 12 years since it last released, and 24 since it originally debuted, the Olympic 6 returns at an interesting time for Nike and Jordan brand. The Olympic Jordan 6 releases via SNKRS and more retailers on August 3rd.
