August doesn't take a break and is set to please fans of retro silhouettes! Between the Air Jordan 13 "Flint" making its long-awaited return to form, an Air Jordan 1 with chocolate accents, and a reissue of the Air Jordan 6, the rest of the releases will feature more niche collaborations from Pharrell, AFEW, Beyond, Arte Antwerp, and VANDYTHEPINK.
Air Jordan 1 High OG Love Letter
It's hard to pack in more symbolism. This Air Jordan 1 draws inspiration from the farewell letter Michael Jordan published after his last NBA season in 2003, a text that concluded with the phrase "Much Love and Respect." These words are actually embossed in the leather on the ankle. The black and white upper, accented with a few red touches, is enhanced by dark brown nubuck panels with a textured finish reminiscent of a basketball, completing the tribute to the legend MJ. A collector's item as much as a nostalgic piece, priced at €180. The release date is set for August 1st on Nike.

Pharrell continues to push his vision at adidas with the Adistar Jellyfish, a silhouette with wavy shapes and an oversized design. After a first series of flashier colorways, it's time for a total white look that definitely stands out. "For me, the Jellyfish is a story of energy: movement, light, flow," the artist summarizes. This model, which is among the top sneakers of 2025, features a phosphorescent treatment that gives the shoe a whole new look at night. It will be available for €300 on August 1st via raffle on adidas CONFIRMED.

View on the calendarAir Jordan 13 Retro Flint
This is one of the most anticipated returns of the summer. The "Flint" colorway first dropped on February 14, 1998, and has seen a few re-releases since then. The combo has remained iconic: reflective navy mesh, Flint gray suede, white leather, and touches of blue. The 2026 version marks its fifth return, but more importantly, it features an updated shape designed to bring the silhouette closer to its original 1998 form. The Jordan 13 is making its comeback on August 1st at Nike and several retailers for €200.

The German concept store AFEW is taking on an unexpected territory: the performance runner from Brooks. Named "Today Was A Good Day", this Adrenaline GTS 10 pays tribute to the simple moments that make a day special. The gradient transitions from Fig to Bridal Rose, accented with coral touches, on an upper that combines mesh and metallic synthetic leather. AFEW even handed out pairs to passersby in the streets of Paris for the launch. Expect to pay €160, with a release on August 1st at AFEW.

View on the calendarBeyond x Nike SB Dunk High Pro White Sand Dune
To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the Finnish skate shop Beyond has launched the first collaboration with Nike SB entrusted to a Nordic retailer. The inspiration comes from Alvar Aalto, the Finnish architect from Jyväskylä, the city where Beyond was born: his influence is reflected in the choice of materials rather than flashy graphics. It features a white leather base, ivory suede panels, a Sand Dune suede Swoosh, and a blue patent leather collar that pays homage to the Finnish flag. A Dunk High with real meaning, priced at €130. It drops on August 3rd on Nike SNKRS.

View on the calendarArte Antwerp x adidas F50 Pack
The Belgian label Arte Antwerp, known for its artistic approach to streetwear, continues its collaboration with adidas by dressing up the F50, a football silhouette that steps off the pitch. The pack comes in black and white, featuring perforations on the sides for breathability. The idea: keep the minimalist profile of the F50 to make it a daily sneaker. This collab plays the elegance card, going against the trend of more colorful football collaborations. The pack drops on August 4th on adidas for €180, although only the “Core Black” colorway is confirmed for now.

View on the calendarJJJJound x New Balance 740N Mushroom
The Montreal-based studio JJJJound applies its minimalist recipe to the 740N, a reworked and seamless version of the New Balance 740 runner. True to the label's aesthetic, the sneaker is dressed in a range of browns across the upper, highlighted by a black "N" logo, matching lining and sole, and subtle touches of red on the heel, lace loops, and ABZORB cushioning. This iconic colorway makes its debut on a more accessible model, moving away from the usual Made in USA or Made in England series from the duo. After a release on July 30 at JJJJound, the sneaker is expected to drop on August 6 at New Balance for €140.

The creator VANDYTHEPINK is back with a new take on his favorite ice cream theme, this time on the Gel-Kayano 12.1. The pack features two flavors: a "Vanilla" in cream mesh, accented with metallic silver and multicolored overlays that evoke a scoop of ice cream, and a "Chocolate" in brown mesh with subtle yellow highlights, featuring an illustration of a cone on the insole. Each sneaker even comes with a silver ice cream scoop. This is the second dessert-themed collaboration between the two partners, staying true to the brand's playful signature after a highly acclaimed first pack. Expect to pay €195, with a release on August 8th.

View on the calendarAir Jordan 6 "Oreo"
A long-awaited rarity. The "Oreo" colorway of the Air Jordan 6, which debuted in 2010, is one of the rarest non-OG colorways of the silhouette and had never been re-released until now. It features a black nubuck base, white pebbled leather overlays, and of course, the signature speckling on the sole. This re-release is highly anticipated by all Jordan 6 fans who never got their hands on the 2010 version, originally priced at €210. The sneaker drops on August 8 at Nike.

View on the calendarNike Air Force 1 Low "Horse Of A Different Color"
The craziest release of the month, no doubt about it. Nike has draped the Air Force 1 Low in bright orange pony hair. The name comes from an English expression meaning "something completely different," made famous by a magical color-changing horse in "The Wizard of Oz." This is miles away from the classic white leather AF1, and it’s sure to turn heads! It drops on August 13 on Nike for €140.
