Last week’s sneaker releases were relatively quiet, but there was still some solid heat if you were paying attention. New Balance dropped a fresh colorway of their sleek 417 silhouette, Nike served up a clean “Triple White” Foamposite One, and Jordan Brand brought back the fan-favorite Air Jordan 5 “Grape” after a 12-year hiatus. Now, this week’s sneaker releases are Jordan-free—but don’t worry, there’s still a lineup worth checking for. From a double-pack Patta collab to a Mamba-themed Air Force 1 and pastel New Balance UK drops, here’s your Sneaker Geeks weekly sneaker release rundown.
June 24th
Nike Air Max 90 x Patta ‘Sapphire’
Colorway: Particle Grey / Neutral Grey / Sapphire Black / Coconut Milk / White
Style Code: HF8814-002
Retail: $155
Nike and Amsterdam’s Patta are back again—this time with a remix of the Air Max 90. The first of the two-pair pack features a refined particle grey mesh and tonal leather upper. A darker grey leather Swoosh adds contrast, while a black leather wavy mudguard, inspired by the 2023 Air Max 1 collab, wraps around the midsole. Sapphire blue accents appear on the molded eyestays and tongue branding. On the heel, a lenticular badge flips between “Air Max” and “Patta,” and the pair sits on a visible Air unit for that signature AM90 feel. Available via SNKRS on June 24th in men’s sizes for $155.
Nike Air Max 90 x Patta ‘Cyber’
Colorway: Particle Grey / Neutral Grey / Cyber Green / Black / Coconut Milk / White
Style Code: HF8814-002
Retail: $155
The second in the Nike x Patta Air Max 90 pack swaps out sapphire for a sharp “Cyber Green.” Everything else remains the same: tonal greys build the upper, a black wavy mudguard grounds the shoe, and co-branded Patta and Air Max hits give it a premium edge. The Cyber green shines on the molded eyelets and tongue branding. Just like its blue counterpart, it’s releasing on SNKRS on June 24th for $155 in men’s sizing.
Kobe x Air Force 1 Proto ‘Mamba Mentality’
Colorway: Soft Yellow / Dusty Amethyst
Style Code: HV9408-700
Retail: $150
Kobe Bryant’s legacy continues with this thoughtful Air Force 1 Protro. Dressed in soft yellow leather, the standout feature is the oversized plaid knit laces, inspired by the warm-up PJs Kobe wore pregame. The heel sports oversized “8” embroidery, while the tongue features the Mamba sheath logo in light purple. Inside, the insole honors Kobe’s memorable pajama-layered practice look. React foam and a Dusty Amethyst outsole round out this bold tribute. Available on SNKRS June 24th for $150 in men’s sizes.
June 25th
New Balance 2010
Colorway: Pecan / Castle Rock
Style Code: U2010ANV
Retail: $159.99
For New Balance fans, the 2010 silhouette gets a new earthy tone. Breathable olive green mesh forms the base, with pecan brown suede overlays and black leather detailing. The tri-colored “N” logo adds dimension, and comfort tech comes in the form of ABZORB and ABZORB SBS in the heel and forefoot. A translucent stability shank gives it that performance twist. Cop it on New Balance’s site June 25th for $159.99.

Part of NB’s latest pastel pack, this UK-made 991v2 is crafted from luxe hairy suede in a soft blue.

Nike Air Flightposite
Colorway: Off Noir / White / Dusty Cactus / Persian Violet / Metallic Silver
Style Code: HJ4466-001
Retail: $250
Bringing back early 2000s energy, the Air Flightposite returns in a wild “Off Noir” colorway. The liquid-like upper gradient blends green, blue, and purple for a striking iridescent effect. A black zippered shroud covers the forefoot, while chrome carbon fiber detailing on the midsole adds to the futuristic flair. Underfoot, wavy traction gives it that court-ready performance edge. These will be available on SNKRS for $250. You can also enter a draw via Social Status—just make sure to lock in your entry by June 25th.
