Diana Taurasi x Nike LeBron 18 'La Cabra'

The “La Cabra” (which translates to ‘The Goat’ in Spanish) colorway features a black knit upper, heel covered in red text signifying some of Taurasi’s career accolades, mimimal green detailing, and a goat logo on each tongue. 

J. Cole x Puma RS-Dreamer 'Aquarius'

Price: $125
When: Friday, July 2 at 10 a.m.
Where: puma.com and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: J. Cole may no longer be playing pro ball in Rwanda, but that doesn’t mean Puma will stop releasing new colorways of his RS-Dreamer basketball shoe any time soon. The latest colorway is dubbed the “Aquarius.” It features an aqua blue upper with black accents throughout and minimal reflective detailing.

Air Jordan 4 'Tech White'

Price: $190
When: Saturday, July 3 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: This new colorway of the Air Jordan 4 is one of the cleanest in quite some time. It appears to take inspiration from 1999’s “Oreo” release. The major difference is the use of a white tumbled leather upper instead of black. This pair also features the 4’s OG mesh netting instead of the perforated leather panels found on the black “Oreo” release. A red Jumpman stitched on each tongue and cement print give the otherwise all-white color scheme a bit of a pop.
