The arrival of June signals the halfway mark through the year. However, there's plenty of shoes still to make their debut in 2014. June, in particular, is loaded with a wide variety of performance footwear releases that will make the summer more enjoyable for athletes. The World Cup begins this month, so you can already expect a heavy dose of soccer cleats. Though, ballers, runners and even skaters can take solace in knowing that June has something up its sleeve for them as well. Here are some key performance sneakers we're looking forward to this month.
