Just two weeks into June, and the month is already turning out to be pretty epic as far as sneaker releases are concerned. This weekend is jam-packed with highly anticipated drops, so we hope you've been saving accordingly.

Kicking things off is Nike Sportswear's "City" collection by way of the Free OG '14 "Tokyo" and "Shanghai" pack that release on Friday morning. These are three runners that you won't want to sleep on.

After months of anticipation the Air Jordan VI "Cigar" and "Champagne," or simply known as the "Celebration" pack, drop on Saturday. Just in time for Father's Day, Jordan Brand will also be releasing the "Family Forever" 1s, which is a sneaker designed by MJ's first three children.

Releasing alongside these retro Jordans is the Nike KD VI "What the KD," which marks the first time a KD mashup will be dropped on Nike.com.

Closing things off is the European release of the adidas Originals Stan Smith Primeknit, which will be available at premier boutiques overseas.

Prioritize your must-have kicks and check out the rest of the list: A Complete Guide to This Weekend's Sneaker Releases.
