Nike and Jordan Brand are constantly releasing new sneakers virtually 24/7. Some releases stand out more than others. This August, there will definitely be some noticeable Nike and Jordan releases to keep an eye on and potentially pick up.
Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 RM Driveway Grey
The Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 RM was an instant hit with the Fence Green colorway releasing recently in July. The unique adaptation of the Air Jordan 4 brings a new cut and a distinct look. Sylvester’s lifestyle and his time spent riding his bike on his grandma’s driveway as a kid influenced the new version of the Air Jordan 4.
The Driveway Grey colorway is sure to draw tons of attention on August 7th, when the sneakers retail for $150.
Nike Air Max Sunder Highlighter Green
Initially released in 1999, the Nike Air Max Sunder is receiving tons of attention as numerous colorways are being re-released this year. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the silhouette, Nike is bringing back some familiar colorways and new iterations. A collab with CDG definitely turned heads, but other versions are drawing more attention.
Colorways like the Highlighter Green releasing this August and the Canyon Gold releasing later this fall are definitely some of the more noticeable Nike releases of the latter half of 2024. The Air Max Sunder didn’t gain too much traction when it was released in ’99. However, the retro/tech look has been popular as of recently and has brought a spotlight to the silhouette that hasn’t been seen before.
The Nike Air Max Sunder Highlighter Green releases August 8th for $180.
A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 3 Black
A Ma Maniere and Jordan Brand team up once again on the Air Jordan 3. Black paired with flat pewter and violet ore stays true to the muted tones of numerous AMM collaborations with Jordan Brand. An aged midsole complemented by suede mudguards give this iteration of the Jordan 3 a fresh look.
The violet ore tongue pops but not too much. A satin sock liner gives this pair a luxurious feel. These sneakers will definitely be one of the best Nike and Jordan releases of August 2024.
The A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 3 Black releases August 21st for a retail price of $250.
Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Halo
An all-white Nike Kobe 9 comes out later this month just in time for Kobe Day. The Kobe 9s display Kobe’s signature on the lateral heel is added to complement the Lunarlon-cushioned midsoles. The Kobe 9 was originally showcased on December 4th, 2013. Numerous colorways of this silhouette are distinguishable amongst the global basketball community. Kobes have always been sought after basketball sneakers, but have skyrocketed in terms of popularity after the late Italian-born, Laker legend’s tragic death.
Nike is releasing the Kobe 9 Elite Protro Halo which retails for $240 in men’s sizing ($120 GS) and the Kobe 9 EM Halo releases for a retail of $210 on August 23rd.
Alexis Sablone x Nike SB Dunk Low
After making history and becoming the first female skater with a signature shoe with Converse in 2023, Alexis Sablone is teaming up with Nike on a pair of SB Dunk Lows. With skating returning to the Olympics Summer games, Sablone was in charge of designing federation kits for the United States and Japan. She also led the fan apparel collection to support the worldwide skating community.
A gravel-like texture upper paired with green hues, a green outsole, and an off-white midsole gives this pair a unique look. Similar to the Converse CONS As-1 Pro, the Alexis Sablone x Nike SB Dunk Low features a tearaway upper which reveals more fuschia details. These SB Dunk Lows round out some of the best Nike and Jordan releases of August 2024. Sablone’s collab with Nike will be released at select skate shops and SNKRS at the end of the month.
The Alexis Sablone x Nike SB Dunk Low releases on August 29th for $110.
