May 29th Sneaker Releases
Air Jordan 1 “Latte”
First up, dropping on May 29th is the Air Jordan 1 “Latte.” This beauty is a must-have for anyone who loved the Dark Mocha AJ 1 from 2020. The “latte” features a sleek colorway with Black/Legend Medium Brown/White Sail. Imagine smooth white leather underneath with striking black accents on the forefoot and Swoosh and dark tan hits on the heel and collar.
Don’t forget to check out the debossed Wings logo on the lateral ankle, a detail that sets this pair apart. The insoles and box are designed with swirls representing milk patterns, adding a unique touch to this already stunning sneaker. These will be available in women’s sizes on the SNKRS app and at Jordan retailers for $180. Get ready to secure your pair!
May 30th Sneaker Releases
New Balance Made in USA 993
Next, on May 30th, New Balance is releasing the Made in USA 993 in a fresh Sea Salt with Black colorway. This model combines elements from 991 and 992 models, originally debuting in 2008.
The 993 features an ABZORB midsole for maximum comfort and a mesh upper with nubuck overlays for that perfect blend of durability and style. The tonal white mesh and midsole with contrasting black accents make this a versatile addition to your rotation. Grab these on the New Balance website for $219.99.
Air Max 1 ’86 “Camo”
Also, on May 30th, the Air Max 1 ’86 “Camo” is hitting the shelves. The Air Max 1 was revolutionary as the first shoe to display the Nike Air unit. This version is taking it to the next level with camo canvas overlays and open-hole mesh for breathability.
The earth-colored midsole contrasts nicely with light lemon accents, making this pair stand out. With Nike branding on the left heel and an oversized Swoosh on the right heel, these will definitely turn heads. Available on the SNKRS app and via a draw at Social Status for $160.
May 31st Sneaker Releases
Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III ‘Seoul”
May 31st brings us a third collaboration between Ronnie Fieg and Asics with the Gel Lyte III Remastered. This pair features the iconic split tongue and formstripes, with color blocking inspired by the South Korean flag. The upper boasts quilted and hairy suede overlays, with a terry cloth lining and rubber outsole adding to the premium feel.
Look for Fieg branding on the tongue and Asics branding on the heel. The draw opens on May 28th via the kith app, with an in-store and online release on May 31st. This pair has a $195 price tag.
Reebok x Victor Solomon Answer III
Also dropping on May 31st is the Reebok Victor Solomon Answer III. Until researching this week’s sneaker drops I was not familiar with Victor Solomon and his work. After some online research I can see why Reebok partnered with Solomon.
This collaboration with Victor Solomon, known for his stained glass backboards, is a true work of art. The upper is crafted from smooth white leather, complemented by pebbled gold leather accents. It features an EVA midsole and a debossed logo on the lateral side. These will be available at Reebok for $200.
Zoom Vomero 5 “Racer Blue”
Finally, we have the Zoom Vomero 5 “Racer Blue” releasing on May 31st. Originally launched as a runner’s shoe, the Vomero 5 offers breathable mesh on the upper with a TPU heel cage and synthetic overlays with reflective accents.
The cushion foam and Zoom Air unit underfoot ensure a comfortable ride. The “Racer Blue” colorway was first seen in 2019 and is back by popular demand. The insoles even feature images of Nick Bowerman. Look for these on the SNKRS app for $160.
That’s it for this week’s drops, folks! Make sure your alarms are set and your accounts are ready because these pairs are sure to fly off the shelves. Until next time check out out how New Balance began. Happy copping!
