June let everyone know that this was not a month to be skipped. July looks set to up the ante, partly due to Olympics starting July 26. While many brands are specializing in Olympic-themed collections, July is about greater than just Parisian clothing. There’s no getting lost in the gang: the mesh boys are back, and there are a number of nostalgic homages to the home.

Scratching the nostalgic itch

While Memphis Grizzles point guard Ja Morant has seen limited time on the court this yr due to a shoulder injury, when he has been on the court, he’s turned heads together with his footwear decisions. In particular, when Morant made his season debut, he debuted a pair of Nike Ja 1s in a reversal of the fan-favorite “Scratch” colorway. When people saw the shoes, they immediately considered the Grizzles’ former home of Vancouver.

This pair, now dubbed the “Reverse Scratch,” is finally set to release. The mostly white upper with touches of turquoise on the midsole and red on the heel of the shoe will hit shelves just in time for the 4th of July and peak grilling season. Don’t be surprised should you see these on the feet of somebody wearing a Mike Bibby or Shareef Abdur-Rahim Vancouver jersey.

A toned-down version of a method icon

Most people know New York Knicks commentator Walt “Clyde” Frazier as a fashion and magnificence icon who could be found on the sidelines of New York Knicks games. But before the legendary Knicks guard found a way to mix all of the animal prints within the Sahara, he was rocking Puma shoes. The story goes that at one point Frazier wanted a brand new pair of shoes and a brand new color of shoes for each game he played.

If you think that, this pair of Spectra Green could easily be something Frazier would want on his feet during or after a match. Spectra Green dominates the upper, while the Frosted Ivory Formstrip is paired with white laces to complete the upper. Don’t be surprised should you see Frazier wearing these in some unspecified time in the future.

Action Bronson’s Latest Movie Gets Second Chance

The initial releases of the Action Bronson x New Balance 1906R “Medusa Azul” and “Rosewater” were chaotic, especially the latter, which initially required buyers to purchase a bundle that included the crewneck sweatshirt for $125.
