August is in full effect, and there’s no doubt that Nike Basketball has been dominating the game. The LeBron 11, Kobe 8, and KD 6 continue to be most buzzworthy shoes, with several headlines like “Miami Heat”, “Spark”, and “Chroma” serving up some great kicks to look forward. The Jordan category was as strong as ever, with detailed looks at the Laney V and the Gamma Blue XI getting the most attention. A nice look at the “Safari” Foamposite and upcoming Weather-inspired releases kept Foam fans happy, while Nike Sportswear came through with the Size? x Air Huarache and the OG Air Max Tape Pack. Nike SB has some nice collaborations in the works – namely Primitive LA and Thrasher.
adidas is coming back to its Originals with an upcoming Run DMC collaboration, while Reebok and AAPE come together for the Pump Fury. Asics has something great in the work with Extra Butter and Ronnie Fieg, while CNCPTS and New Balance get ready to put out another champion later this year. Vans presents the WTAPS collection and some nice Aloha joints. while the Air Force 1 gets the City Pack treatment again. Customs were big on Foamposites and LeBrons, as were Air Jordan Samples and PEs, highlighted by a dope blue-laser sample. Weekly Rewind is ready for you below if you need the complete serving, so check it out and get caught up with the best sneaker news site in the game.
