Jeremy Scott usually doesn't get his hands on current performance models but you have to give it up to adidas for letting him do his thing. All white is a perfect summer option on the Rose 3.5 but JS adding his "angelic" touch makes these out of this world.

Release Date: 7/13/2013
Price: $170
Available: nike.com

Nike's Flyknit is the most talked about technology of 2013, and it is likely to carry on for quite a while. The Nike Lunar Flyknit Chukka helped take the love of Flyknit to the next level as there are some people who prefer a higher cut sneaker. This particular colorway is a bit slept on but like many Nike running shoes it will become a must-have sneaker sooner rather than later.

Brand: Nike
Model: LeBron X EXT
Release Date: 7/6/2013
Price: $250
Available: Nike Store Twitter Link Only

The Nike LeBron X is undoubtedly one of the sneaker community's favorite LeBron signature sneakers and when news of the EXT version(s) broke that become an understatement. It's tough to gauge which colorway of the Nike LeBron X EXT is the favorite amongst sneaker lovers but the "Hazelnut" version is amazing nonetheless.

Brand: Nike
Model: Air Revolution
Release Date: 7/4/2013
Price: $135
Available: nike.com

The Nike Air Revolution is unarguably a classic Nike Basketball sneaker. This retro release of the Revolution features premium leather and vintage details for a proper old-school look, as well as the iconic visible Air-Sole unit-remember, the Revolution was the first basketball shoe to feature it.

Brand: Nike
Model: Air Max Hyperposite
Release Date: 7/19/2013
Price: $225
Available: nike.com

The Nike Air Max Hyperposite was a rather odd release from Nike, as they seemingly reserved all the best colorways for their NBA athletes during the 2012-13 season. It wasn't until this year that they started to give us a look at some great colorways. This arctic green/pebble grey-atomic red-fusion was definitely one of the most-liked Air Max Hyperposite colorways of 2012 and sneakerheads are happy that it is finally here.

Brand: Nike
Model: Zoom Soldier VII iD
Release Date: 7/29/2013
Price: $160
Available: nike.com

When photos of the Nike Zoom Soldier VII surfaced they were quickly mistaken for the upcoming Nike LeBron XI. As details and photos of the XI surfaced many were disappointed as they felt the Zoom Solider VII was a better looking sneaker. This month, to the delight of many sneakerheads, the Nike Zoom Soldier VII made it's way to NIKEiD. We can't wait to see what the sneaker world cooks up!

Brand: adidas
Model: Crazyquick
Release Date: 7/1/2013
Price: $140

adidas Basketball introduced the hi-tech Crazyquick on the first of July. Comprised of a seamless techfit upper set on top of a PUREMOTION midsole the adidas Crazyquick makes for a great basketball sneaker no matter what position you play.

Brand: Under Armour
Model: Micro G Gridiron Trainer
Release Date: 7/17/2013
Price: $100
Available: footlocker.com

The Under Armour Micro G Gridiron Trainer is one of the most comfortable training shoes to release this year. Featuring a super-flex upper, midfoot strap, and aggressive rubber outsole the Gridiron Trainer makes for an amazing training shoe. The fact that the look harkened back to Nike's classic 1996 Zoom Turf Trainer didn't hurt, either.

Brand: Air Jordan
Model: I
Release Date: 7/13/2013
Price: $140
Available: Nike Store Twitter Link Only

The Air Jordan I "Shadow" is one of those releases that people didn't pay much attention to at first, but once they saw on-foot photos of them on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook they realized how dope they were and then decided to try to pick them up. Good luck with that. The "Shadow" Air Jordan I features a nice black/soft grey upper and a bright midsole, along with the crucial "Nike Air" branding.

Brand: Nike
Model: Dunk Low SB
Release Date: 7/20/2013
Price: N/A
Available: N/A

The Brooklyn Projects x Nike Dunk Low SB was a refreshing release from Nike SB. Nike Dunk SBs haven't exactly been the center of attention in a while and the release of the "Walk of Fame" Dunk Low shook things up a bit. The Brooklyn Dom creation features a black "safari" like print on the upper, red suede on the toe box and heel tab, and gold accents on the Swoosh and Brooklyn Projects branding. Unfortunately for those outside L.A., you had about as good a chance at getting a star on the actual Walk of Fame as you did copping.

Brand: Reebok
Model: Shaqnosis
Release Date: 7/12/2013
Price: $115
Available: reebok.com

Usually when a sneaker design is described as "polarizing" it's just a bunch of needless hyperbole. Not in the case of the Shaqnosis, Reebok's hypnotic 1994 signature shoe for Shaquille O'Neal. The long-awaited retro featured Shaq's logo and the blessing of the Diesel himself.

Brand: Nike
Model: Air Max '95 LE
Release Date: 7/12/2013
Price: $155
Available: Nike Store Twitter Link Only

The Air Max 95 is one of Nike's most iconic sneakers and when Mike Armstrong dressed it up for the Doernbecher collection in 2007 it became a must-have for a whole new group of people. Like all other Doernbecher releases from Nike, these '95s sold out immediately. When word of the return broke, sneakerheads once again started scrambling for a way to secure their purchase.

Brand: Nike
Model: KD VI
Release Date: 7/3/2013
Price: $130
Available: nike.com

Nike KD VI photos surfaced on the internet early this year, and the reaction from the sneaker community was not good at all. Many felt it looked more like a soccer boot than a basketball sneaker and had a hard time visualizing it on-foot, or with casual attire. Soon that changed though, as new photos and new colorways emerged the general consensus began to change and now the Nike KD VI is one of the hottest sneakers of the summer.

Brand: New Balance
Model: 1600
Release Date: 7/27/2013
Price: $175
Available: shopnicekicks.com

The New Balance 1600 "The Benjamin" is UBIQ's way of paying homage to Philadelphia, the city in which their store resides. The upper of this 1600 features navy, red, and brown suede and sits on top of a speckled midsole.

Brand: Nike
Model: LeBron X EXT
Release Date: 7/20/2013
Price: $250
Available: Nike Store Twitter Link Only

The final colorway of the Nike LeBron X EXT is arguably one of the best LeBron X releases from Nike. The "Black Suede" EXT is rarely seen on the feet of sneakerheads but when it is they look amazing! These, like the other three LeBron X EXTs, will likely become stand-outs in the LeBron signature line.

Brand: Air Jordan
Model: IV
Release Date: 7/13/2013
Price: $160
Available: Nike Store Twitter Link Only

The Air Jordan IV "Toro Bravo" is already being considered the best Jordan Brand release of the year. Featuring an all-red upper with black, grey and white accents, this Jordan IV is sure to be a classic one day-if it isn't already.

Brand: Air Jordan
Model: III DB
Release Date: 7/20/2013
Price: $160
Available: Nike Store Twitter Link Only

The Air Jordan III "Doernbecher" has been one of the most sought-after Jordan IIIs since its initial relase back in 2010, and news of its re-release had the sneaker world scrambling for a "connect". Sneakerheads would quickly learn that a "connect" wouldn't be of any assistance as the re-release of the "DB" III would be a Nike Store Twitter link release only.
