Summer isn’t over yet, which means there are plenty of great summer sneaker silhouettes still hitting your local shop. One of the good things about summer shoes is that they usually feature a less substantial construction (I.E. no heavy lining, high tops, or rugged outsoles), and that means they usually go a little easier on your wallets. We rounded up ten of our favorite lower priced summertime sneakers again this month for the latest edition of Budget Heat. Check out our picks for the best shoes under $100 of the month, and don’t forget to get out and kick around in the warm weather while it lasts.
Nike Air Huarache – OG White/Sport Turquoise-University Gold ($100)
Finally arriving in the US after dropping only in Europe in 2013, this original colorway of the Air Huarache is arriving now at select retailers including Finish Line.
Vans Vault Old Skool LX – White Leather ($85)
From Vans’ premium Vault line comes this cleaner-than-clean edition of the Old Skool in nothing but white leather. Whether you keep them pristine or let them get dirty, you won’t find a fresher pair of Vans this summer. Grab a pair while they last from Feature.
adidas ZX Flux – Multicolor Print ($90)
adidas keeps the excellent ZX Flux prints rolling with this latest multicolor blur racing across the one-piece upper. Rock them for the rest of the summer (and beyond) after picking up a pair from adidas suppliers like Sneaker Politics.
Converse Chuck Taylor 1970s ‘Archive Print’ ($90)
The Chuck Taylor II is about to launch, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t enjoy the more vintage look of the 1970s edition, especially if it comes in cool prints like this black and white zig-zag motif. Locate yours now at finer Converse retailers like Bows & Arrows.
Nike SB Blazer GT – Ivory/Cinnabar-Metallic Gold ($80)
Grant Taylor’s signature edition of the Blazer Low shows up in one of its cleanest colorways yet, featuring an Ivory suede upper with Cinnabar Swooshes for a classic color block and old-school Nike look. These are arriving now at Nike SB stockists like Premier.
adidas Skateboarding Stan Smith Vulc – Vintage White/OG Green ($70)
Much like the Blazer GT you just saw, the Stan Smith Vulc is a skateboarding-specific redesign of a classic silhouette. Also like the Blazer, this Stan Smith features a clean and classic look in white leather with Stan-Smith-green accents on the interior. Find them now at adidas Skateboarding suppliers like Sneaker Politics.
GREATS Brand Bab Low ($49)
Direct-to-consumer sneaker brand GREATS dropped the Roshe-like Bab earlier this year, and now they’re back with the low-top version of the uber-affordable summer silhouette. Order them straight from the Greats website, and also keep in mind you can do bundles for a discounted price.
New Balance 1550 – Navy/Red ($100)
New Balance drops a modern silhouette with a traditional lean, inspired by both the classic 1500 and 1600 models. Plenty of style up top combines with the REVlite foam midsole for yet another high-quality offering from New Balance. Find them now at select retailers like Concepts.
Supra Noiz – ($80)
Usually known for their skate shoes, Supra drops some casual and comfy new models this summer like the Noiz. The mesh and leather upper sits on top of a full-length foam sole unit for a blend of usual Supra style with comfort you wouldn’t expect. Grab them now from Supra suppliers like Premier.
Nike Roshe Run “Polka Dots” ($100)
A mainstay in the Budget Heat feature, this month’s edition couldn’t be complete without the Roshe. This latest edition goes polka-dotted for a fun summer take on the already classic silhouette. Take your pick of four colorways now from sneaker shops like Oneness.
