The June sneaker slate will come with some knowns and some known unknowns.
With the World Cup set to commence, a host of sneakers for the occasion will begin pouring out. Some of these are already established, but there all but guaranteed to be surprises in store as the tournament gets underway.
Also on the docket are a host of more evergreen releases, from the first wide release of the fabled Air Foamposite One Tianjin to several Air Jordans and a blind box release celebrating the 30th anniversary of Kobe Bryant being drafted into the NBA.
Below, you’ll find all the best sneakers releasing in June. This post will be updated as more information inevitably becomes available.
