August doesn't take a break and is set to delight fans of retro silhouettes! Between the Air Jordan 13 "Flint" making its long-awaited return to its original 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 engraved 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 featuring wavy shapes and an oversized design. After an initial 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, now features a phosphorescent treatment that gives the sneaker a whole new look at night. It will be available for €300 on August 1st via raffle on adidas CONFIRMED.

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. 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 sneaker is set to drop on August 1st on 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 is launching the first Nike SB collaboration 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: to maintain the minimalist profile of the F50, making it a go-to sneaker for everyday wear. 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.

New Balance continues to explore its most intriguing hybrid at the moment. The 1890A combines the sole of a retro runner (inspired by the 2002R) with a moccasin-style upper reminiscent of Clarks' Wallabee. The "Dark Night" colorway plays with contrasting materials: black mesh on the toebox, covered with shiny purple synthetic panels featuring wavy cutouts. First spotted at Paris Fashion Week 2025 on the foot of a brand executive, the 1890A is set to be one of the most stylish bets in New Balance's catalog. Expect to pay €190 for a release on August 6 on New Balance.

Creator VANDYTHEPINK is back with another round of 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 spoon. This is the second dessert collaboration between the two partners, staying true to the brand's playful signature after a highly acclaimed first pack. Expect a price of €195, with a release on August 8th.

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 on Nike.

The craziest release of the month, no doubt about it. Nike has covered 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.
