Mid August (Aug 13 to 15)
Nike Basketball keeps rolling with the Ja 4 "Nightmare" ($130) on August 13 and the Air Max2 CB '94 ($160) on August 14. That same day, the VANDYTHEPINK x ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 Ice Cream Pack gets its global release at $195.

Late August (Aug 22)
The month ends on a "Laser" theme. The Air Jordan 3 "Laser" ($230) reissues the laser-etched build made for Michael Jordan's 40th birthday, arriving in Phantom, University Red, and Palomino. It drops the same day as the Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Laser" ($145). Both release August 22 through Nike SNKRS and Jordan Brand retailers.
