We’re in the last stretch of summer, and the heat keeps on piling in. From retro returns to colorway nostalgia, this August is shaping up to be one for the sneaker books.
Stay tuned as we take you through some of our favorite August sneaker releases this month.
Air Jordan 13 ‘Wings’
Release Date: 6th August
Jordan Brand continues its storytelling streak with the arrival of the Air Jordan 13 ‘Wings’. Premium leather makes up much of the upper, pairing its luxurious muse with distressed denim panelling that is designed to be removed, ripped, or peeled off to reveal the unique graphic underneath.
Pops of colour deliver a luminous touch of green, orange and blue to the mismatched carbon pods underfoot; the signature holographic cat eye is also shaded in green. Graphic insoles round off the fit with an extra dose of creativity. It’s motivation in sneaker form, inspiring and uplifting future generations from across the globe.

Air Jordan 17 ‘Black Patent’
Release Date: 8th August
The hype around the Air Jordan 17s revival has been immense this year, and this new chapter of the resurgence starts bold, understated, and in ‘Black Patent’. In keeping with its traditional 2002 design elements such as the chrome heel and the crocodile-inscribed eye stays, it is also taking its own natural route of experimentation through its glossy patent uppers. Court-ready innovation meets sophistication – it’s a win-win in our eyes.

Air Jordan 6 ‘Oreo’
Release Date: 8th August
This delectable treat now returns to our shelves after 16 years, and it’s as tasty as ever. Staying faithful to its OG tooling, this one keeps it relatively simple; black and white leather and nubuck dress the upper, paired with a side of speckles to offer a crumb-like finish to the midsole. Jumpman branding embellishes the heel, and the signature spoiler tab remains intact, for an easy pull-on fit.
Nike Ja 4 ‘Nightmare’
Release Date: 13th August
Ja Morant’s latest signature sneaker arrives in suitably sinister style with the Nike Ja 4 ‘Nightmare’. A dark Obsidian base is contrasted by pops of Voltage Green, while a sculpted upper and Ja branding bring plenty of attitude to the court. Underfoot, Cushlon 3.0 cushioning and a new Ja-Frame provide the bounce and support needed for Morant’s explosive style of play. A nightmare for defenders, perhaps, but a dream for sneaker fans.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro ‘Green Camo’
Release Date: 14th August
A true throwback is making its return this month. The Nike Air Foamposite Pro ‘Green Camo’ brings back the unmistakable woodland camouflage shell from its original 2013 release, with black detailing and vibrant Volt accents adding some extra fire. A gum outsole completes the military-inspired look, making this one a must-cop for Foamposite fans and lovers of all things nostalgic.
Outkast x Nike Air Force 1 O96 ‘ATliens’
Release Date: 27th August
Nike and Outkast are taking the Air Force 1 somewhere out of this world with the ‘ATliens’. Inspired by the iconic Atlanta duo’s 1996 album, the sneaker swaps the traditional Uptown aesthetic for a cosmic color palette of black, purple, bronze and pops of Volt. With the album celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, it’s a fitting tribute to one of hip-hop’s most influential records.
From Jordan retros and court-ready heat to Foamposite nostalgia and an Outkast-inspired Uptown, August has plenty for sneakerheads to get excited about. Whether you’re chasing a grail-worthy comeback or looking for your next everyday rotation piece, there’s something for everyone.
Now the only question is: which August sneaker release are you copping?
