August has just wrapped up and with it yet another seven days packed with coveted releases. With the week behind us, Highsnobiety's resident curator Rhianna Matthews is here to help us find the best across sneakers, fashion, and lifestyle to indulge in some much-deserved retail therapy.

In the sneaker department, we have the latest iteration of Nike's Air Jordan 1, an "Obsidian" colorway paying homage to Michael Jordan's alma mater, as well as ASICS' re-release of the GEL-Kinsei, a sneaker first spotted in 2005. This week also saw exciting collaborations, from Junya Watanabe and Levi's to our very own partnership with Chinatown Market.
So, without further ado, scroll down to peep what Rhianna has to say about this week's best drops below.

"It's needless to say that Kapital kills it every damn time. Just look at this tiger-patterned faux fur coat. The silhouette is also designed with plenty of space, giving an overall relaxed impression."

Rayon Check Pant
Junya Watanabe x Levi's
"Now, let's take it up a notch now with Junya Watanabe's latest collab with Levi's. This collection has some next-level denim designs, including these pants featuring plaid panels, nylon pockets, and exaggerated cuffs at hem. You really can't go wrong with Japanese denim design."
Palace Aight Pants
Aight Pant Olive
Palace
"A highlight from Palace's latest drop is this pair of 'Aight' pants in olive green. I'm not sure if it was the pants or the homely London slang description that drew me to this pair. Either way, these pants are MAD."
AGR Cargo Shorts
SSENSE Exclusive Cargo Shorts
AGR
"Let's move in a much more playful direction now. AGR has recently dropped an SSENSE-exclusive capsule comprising dope colorful pieces to rock for the last of your last summer outings, with these shorts being a standout."
Nike WMNS Shox "Enigma"
W Shox Enigma Hyper Crimson
Nike
"Nike keeps serving the steeze with its latest "Enigma" Shox, available exclusively in women's sizes. The silhouette is a brand new Shox-equipped pair bringing Nike’s early ’00s cushioning technology firmly into the present day. The retro-influenced upper goes well with the brutalist Shox cushioning and arrives in 'Lime Blast' and 'Hyper Crimson' colorways. I really can't decide which colorway is my favorite."
Nike Air Jordan 1 "Obsidian"
Air Jordan 1 "Obsidian"
Nike
"Following the release of the women’s patent leather 'UNC' Air Jordan 1 earlier this year, the AJ1 "Obsidian" harks back to Michael Jordan’s days at the University of North Carolina. This OG pair is super clean and also comes in GS sizes, which a lot of women will appreciate."
ASICS GEL-Kinsei OG
"ASICS continues to bring the sauce with this icy GEL-Kinsei OG pair. This time, it features a lightweight and breathable silhouette built with mesh and GEL cushioning, arriving in a silver and blue colorway."

Engineered Garments Shoulder Pouch
Shoulder Pouch
Engineered Garments
"Shoulder pouches are sick. Engineered Garments is sick. A shoulder pouch from Engineered Garments? You know where this is going. Conceived back in 1999, the New York-based Japanese label is no stranger to the game, and this palm tree canvas bag is a must-have this week."
Pinqponq x Andy Wolf Sunglasses
Sunglasses
Andy Wolf X Pinqpong
"With a shared love for design that’s contemporary, functional and sustainable, Andy Wolf Eyewear has teamed up with Pinqponq to create a capsule collection of sunglasses with matching bags. My favorite piece is this sporty, futuristic pair which has been handcrafted from bio-acetate in a geometric frame and arrives with beige-tinted lenses."
Stüssy Mask Ceramic Vase
Mask Ceramic Vase
Stüssy
"Stüssy's much-anticipated FW19 collection is here and, of course, it hasn't disappointed. The main accessory of the season has to be this pink mask-shaped ceramic vase. This piece makes for a dope home accessory to keep your crib steezy yet playful."
