The final full week of June is loaded with a little bit of everything, from experimental Air Max builds and minimalist New Balance collaborations to major Kobe Bryant storytelling and limited-edition drops tied to Tokyo, BAPE, and more.
Rather than one dominant release, the week is shaped by clusters. June 24 opens with a bold new Air Max 95 Woven, June 25 brings a mix of JJJJound, Vans, and Zellerfeld, while June 26 is easily the biggest day on the calendar, led by Nike’s Kobe Bryant “Draft Day” rollout, among other Nike releases. June 27 then closes things out with BAPE and adidas, while the JAIDE x Women’s Air Jordan 11 Low remains one to watch if its rumored date holds.
The week begins with the Nike Air Max 95 Woven “Multi-Color,” one of the more eye-catching Air Max releases of the month. Mixing a woven upper with bright flashes of yellow, green, pink, orange, and purple, the pair brings a playful energy to the Air Max 95 just as Nike continues to push the model through both classic and experimental lanes.
It is a lighter start to the week, but the Air Max 95 Woven sets the tone for a release calendar that only gets busier from here.
Wednesday brings one of the week’s strongest lifestyle lineups.
JJJJound and New Balance reconnect on the 1890, delivering a clean, understated take on the retro-inspired runner in “Black/White,” alongside a JJJJound-exclusive “Silver” colorway. OTW by Vans also continues its elevated Old Skool 36 “Souvenir” series, bringing its distressed, pin-detailed design language into another summer-ready release.
Nike’s partnership with Zellerfeld also continues on June 25 with the Air Max 1000.2 “Black & Pink Spell.” Priced at $180 on SNKRS, the 3D-printed model adds a futuristic edge to the day, contrasting nicely against the more traditional New Balance and Vans drops.
Montreal's JJJJound is the latest institution to help New Balance push the 1890 sneaker design.

Nike and Zellerfeld are continuing their 3D-printed Air Max experiment with another bold take on the Air Max 1000.2, this time dressing the futuristic silhouette in a new “Black & Pink Spell” colorway.
June 26 is the clear headline day.
Nike’s Kobe Bryant “Draft Day” storytelling leads the way, with both the Kobe 4 Protro “Draft Day” Mystery Pack and the Kobe Bryant x Nike Dunk Low Protro “Draft Day” releasing on the same day. The Kobe 4 pack is built around the teams that passed on Bryant in the 1996 NBA Draft, while the Dunk Low leans into the Charlotte Hornets connection before his legendary trade to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Elsewhere, Nike Basketball brings back Vince Carter’s Shox BB4 “Olympic,” forever tied to his legendary Sydney 2000 dunk, while Devin Booker’s Nike Book 2 “Just Book” arrives in a full royal blue, quilted finish inspired by Don C’s “Just Don” Air Jordan 2.

The pair combines adidas’ performance-focused platform with BAPE’s bold visual language, giving Friday a strong collaborative finish.

Also worth watching is the JAIDE x Women’s Air Jordan 11 Low “Fiberglass,” which has been linked to June 27 but has not yet been fully confirmed. If the date holds, it would add another notable women’s-exclusive Jordan release to an already packed week.
