Is it hot outside or is it just all these great sneaker releases? Corny jokes almost all but aside, the spring season was consistent with an uppercase “C” when it came to shoe launches. Still, it looks like the usually slow summer could be just as good or maybe even better.<\/p>\n

Why is that? There’s a lot to be excited about. With rings making their way to Cleveland and Boost continuing to reach new heights, there’s also plenty of retros to get excited about and the Olympics.<\/p>\n

So, while Summer ’16 will be full of plenty of solid shoes from a wide array of brands, the way we see it only seven will dominate. Here they are and give us your picks in the comments section.<\/p>\n

Nike KD 9<\/h2>\n

\"Nike<\/p>\n

$35 dollars says KD stays in OKC this summer, but for $150 you can get his new shoe. Not a bad deal either way. While previous KDs have pushed the price envelope and played with off-genre influence, the KD 9 is all ball and as high tech as it gets. Flyknit that looks snug and Zoom Air that looks retooled is enough to have Ekins jumping for joy. At first look, these appear to the be the modern basketball shoe that can win over Professor K and the Tumblr teens alike.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas NMD<\/h2>\n

\"adidas<\/p>\n

There’s no denying the popularity of the adidas NMD. Love the shoe, hate the shoe, or just feel no ways about it, they’re moving in bunches and keeping people comfy. Hard to be mad at that. While the Nomadic model will spread its wings to new iterations in the coming months, the inline silo will more or less be the new Roshe all summer long, offering an easy and affordable wear only upped by top tech.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike LeBron Soldier X<\/h2>\n

\"B<\/p>\n

Remember that guy that ditched his 13th sneaker, introduced a new model, and won a title in storybook fashion? No not MJ, but King James. Sure, these are not his “Last Shots” but they’re a darn cool shoe and one of the iller risks Nike Basketball has taken in a minute. Will these be the foray of puddle jump IG photos and #streetstyle swagging? Probably not, but they will prove cool and compatible on court. Isn’t that what a good basketball shoe was supposed to be all along?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas Yeezy Boost 550<\/h2>\n

550, 350, gold jacket, green jacket, it doesn’t really matter what this shoe is called or what’s stamped on the side of it: the low top Yeezys just got a lot better. The wearability of the Season 1 and 2 350s was impressive, but exciting they were not. The 550s appear to pack all the great attributes of said silo (comfort, steeze) while taking the personality up a notch with side striping and cool colorways. We’re all about it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 12<\/h2>\n

\"Air<\/p>\n

The Air Jordan 12 is one of the hardest basketball shoes ever made. Following up the ultra flashy AJ 11, the AJ 12 came out looking like a boxing glove for your feet but luxe at that. Tough balance. While “Flu Games” flew, the real story has been just how good the new colorways have been. Sure, some are better than others, but JB has done a great job of playing off OG inspiration for makeups that make sense. Kudos, Jumpman.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged<\/h2>\n

\"adidas<\/p>\n

Wait, hold up, did the Ultra Boost just get better? The shoe of 2015 or perhaps the shoe of the life was recently revealed sans Stripes and even more socklike via the Uncaged iteration. While the OG still has plenty of life in it this certainly keeps things interesting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Flyknit Anything<\/h2>\n

\"Nike<\/p>\n

Yes, Primeknit is popping up on anything and everything in fresh fashion, but let’s give it up for its cousin Flyknit real quick. The threaded styling has been the first consensus (or at least most welcomed updated) to the untouchable but often altered Air Force 1. On top of that, its making Prestos cooler and still sought after in OG runner form. Yup, its Oly anniversary is just a testament to its staying power.<\/p>\n
