Nike x Off-White Air Zoom Tempo Next%
Nike and Off-White have come together countless times to deliver some of the most sought-after sneaker releases of the last decade. The latest is likely to be no different. This time, it’s one of Nike’s most innovative running shoes the Air Zoom Tempo Next% getting the Off-White treatment. As always, Virgil Abloh has delivered a deconstructed look across all colourways, delivering the shoes with an industrial tag and Off-White’s signature branding. Supply Store has a raffle for both the pink and black colourways.
Nike x FTC SB Dunk Low
By now, you should be used to seeing a Dunk release every month. This release changes up the typically clean Dunk aesthetic, introducing new materials and textures. It’s a collaboration with Japanese brand FTC and sees founder Kent Uyehara translate indoor Sento bathhouses – an integral community space and Japanese tradition. On the upper, crystal blue suede collides with plush white leather and a metallic Swoosh. Get ready to cop from Nike on 28th July.

Reebok ZX Fury
Back in March, Adidas’ ZX was combined with Reebok’s Fury shoe for a genre-skipping collaboration. Now, the silhouette is returning in two new colourways. Combining glossy 3-Stripes with Pump-technology, it’s an unlikely pairing that somehow works. Both of these new releases feature glossy detailing on the upper while maintaining the ZX’s trademark heel cage and the Fury’s tongue button. They will both be released from Reebok on 22 July.
Asics x LuisaViaRoma GEL Kyrios
Asics and luxury brand LuisaViaRoma have collided for this week’s most eye-grabbing pair of shoes. Inspired by heat and seismic maps, the iridescent upper is joined by bold teal mesh. The colour explodes even further on the midsole where each shoe will be different due to the nature of the blend. It’s packed with the usual Asics technology too like Flytefoam Propel cushioning and GEL technology inserts.
Nike Dunk Hi ‘First Use’
The latest Dunk Hi has been designed to celebrate the origins of the Nike Swoosh. It first made its debut back in June 1971 and that date is featured on the upper of this latest release. It also features the original Swoosh designed by Nike’s first designer Carolyn Davidson. This one is for the sneaker historians but the combination of sail leather and suede with the hints of green are sure to make it an enviable release for everyone. Right now Culture Kings is showing a 29th July Australian release date.
