Off-White x Nike Air Presto
Release Date: August 3
Retail Price: $160
Coming on the heels of last weekend's black Off-White x Nike Air Presto release comes yet another Off-White Air Presto, this time coming in an all-white colorway. The limited edition kicks, retailing for $160, will be available in sizes from 4-13 with no half-sizes available, starting Friday, August 3rd.
Like the black colorway that dropped last week, this white joint features mesh uppers and a large Nike Swoosh that extends to the forefoot. Additionally, the shoes have a larger tongue with exposed foam and Off-White's signature detailing such as the “AIR” text on the heel straps, a Red zip-tie, orange tag, and “shoelaces” written on the laces.
The shoes will release via Nike SNKRS as well as several other shops and boutiques such as Sneaker Politics, SneakersnStuff, Foot District, END, Nordstrom and others. As a reference, the black colorway is already being resold for upwards of $850 at consignment shops like Flight Club.

Air Jordan 13 "He Got Game"
Release Date: August 4
Retail Price: $190
The iconic "He Got Game" Air Jordan 13 will be returning to retailers in just a few days as Jordan Brand celebrates the shoe's original release back in 1998. The kicks, which were last retro'd in 2013, are set to drop once again on Saturday, August 4, for the retail price of $190.
Just like that 2013 rendition, and the original joints that Denzel Washington wore as Jake Shuttlesworth in "He Got Game," the upcoming rendition features the same white, black and red color scheme. The upper consists of a combination of white and black tumbled leather, accompanied by black suede overlays, a red jumpman on the tongue, red outsole and the 3D hologram bubble.
Major retailers such as Foot Locker, Footaction, Finish Line, Eastbay and Champs Sports will have the "He Got Game" 13s in stock this weekend, as will most other sneaker shops and boutiques. Of course, the kicks will also be available via Nike.com and Nike SNKRS.
