With August about to commence, two major themes have emerged for the month’s slate of Nike releases: signature shoes and Foamposites.
In the former camp will come the launch of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s eighth model and Ja Morant’s fourth, the latter of which could very well continue as the buzziest of Nike’s signature hoops lines. The Foamposite front will then bring a camo Air Foamposite Pro that’s only released once prior, as well as a couple of crossover affairs through Devin Booker’s second model and an obscure tennis shoe (as in a shoe actually for tennis).
Other highlights for the month ahead include a big slate of Mind 001 releases, an odd take on the Blazer and a very orange, very hairy Nike Air Force 1 Low.
