Top 10 Sneakers Releasing In August

Release Date: August 10

Retail Price: $110

 

Skateboarding legend Eric Koston has teamed up with Nike SB to release a special edition Air Jordan 1 Low collab, featuring the familiar "UNC" color scheme.

According to Nike, this SB x Air Jordan 1 Low takes inspiration from the shoes Koston recalls sitting on the rack back in 1986, with the lids cut off the box, that his mom wouldn’t buy for him because “the shoes he had were fine." Koston’s signature is featured on the inside tongue label and when you flip it, you’ll notice “$24.99” on the underside, referencing the price for that pair on the rack back in ‘86. 

Despite initial reports of an August 2 release, it is now being reported that the kicks will drop on August 10 at select skate shops, following by a SNKRS release on the 12th.

The Women's Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Satin "Black Toe" comes equipped with red satin detailing to go along with the familiar white and black leather. Another difference compared to the OG Black Toe 1s is the black wings logo stationed on the ankle collar.

 Because the kicks are being billed as a women's release, it's worth noting that a women's size 12 translates to a men's size 10.5.
