Nike SB Air Max Bruin Vapor

$100; buy now at Nike

The SB Bruin Vapor is another modernized take on the Nike Air Max. With the superior cushioning of Max Air and an inner sleeve for a sock like fit you're getting peak comfort. Add in the sleek cool grey colorway with the classic SB Air Max design and you have one appealing pair of sneakers.

Adidas AdiZero Prime Boost

$200; available 5/6 on Adidas and Kith

Adidas has partnered with the trendy NYC street-gear retailer Kith to release the adiZero Prime Boost tomorrow. The adiZero is known for its strong history supporting marathon winners, and the dynamic look of Primeknit paired with the signature comfort of Boost midsole and its maximum energy return has always been a successful duo for Adidas. The $200 price tag might turn some heads, but it's well worth it for such an impressive, versatile shoe. Throw in a slip-on woven upper for great breathability and you have one of the premiere sneakers for the summer months.

FILA X Akomplice "Yucatan"

$100; buy now at Akomplice

The FILA X returns to stores in a brand new colorway, inspired by the Yucatan coastline of Mexico, after partnering with Akomplice Clothing. The sandy cover of suede throughout these kicks is an homage to the famous Mexican beaches, while a bluish shade of purple represents the ocean coral on the outsole, and a touch of light green on the insole and tongue represents the Caribbean Sea. That description might sound a little out there for some, but there's no doubting their casual appearance and comfortable fit that could work in any setting.
