Nike‘s July slate will be headlined by a healthy mix of basketball and soccer.
Several new Nike Kobe sneakers are on the way, including a pair worn by Jalen Brunson in the NBA Playoffs, while two different mashups of the Mercurial soccer boot are also on the way.
But perhaps the biggest release of the month will come from the retro department and in a colorway that belies its significance. The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Triple White” arrives with construction from 2001 standing out from the usual bid and delivering what many collectors consider a better product.
