    Not all weekends are created equal when it comes to sneaker releases. Sometimes there are ultra-exclusive drops that none of us have a shot at obtaining. Other times, the average sneakerhead will be able to eat.

    Luckily, there are three exciting retro sneakers releasing this weekend that anyone should be able to purchase without needing an army of bots. Below is the FanNation Kicks list of the top three retro basketball shoes releasing on July 21-22, 2023.

    Curry 'Back-to-Back MVP' Pack

    Over the past year, Stephen Curry has celebrated a decade with Under Armour. The two partners have treated fans to plenty of exciting new and retro releases. However, the Curry 'Back-to-Back MVP' pack is the best yet.

    The Curry 1 and Curry 2 Retro were released as a pack on Friday, July 21. The pack takes inspiration from Curry's historic run from 2014-2016. Fans can purchase the rare sneakers for $400 on the Under Armour website. Both shoes feature a black, white, and gold color scheme with plenty of details highlighting Curry's accomplishments.

    Reebok Pump 'Solar Yellow'

    Fans who want to bask in the warm glow of basketball sneaker nostalgia should look no further than the Reebok Pump 'Solar Yellow'. In the early 1990s, the Reebok Pump was all over NBA courts, and it's made a strong return in the lifestyle sneaker market as of late.

    Old-school sneakerheads can purchase the Reebok Pump 'Solar Yellow' for $170 in adult sizes on the Reebok website. However, some sizes are already selling out. Fans interested in purchasing the legendary hoop shoes need to act fast.

    Nike Terminator High 'Game Royal'

    Let's take it back even further. In the 1980s, the Nike Terminator High takes fans back to the era of hook shots, knee pads, and high socks. The 'Game Royal' colorway takes inspiration from the "Be True To Your School" ad campaign (and one of the seven original colorways released in 1985),

    The Nike Terminator High 'Game Royal' releases at 10:00 a.m. EST on Saturday, July 22. Online shoppers can purchase the old-school hoop shoes for $125 on the Nike website.
