Confirmed this past spring, Sheryl Swoopes' Nike Air Swoopes 2 signature sneaker is making its long-awaited return to retail this year.

Before the newer make-ups arrive this fall, the Swoopes 2 is expected to re-enter the market in two OG colorways.

Swoopes became the first female signature athlete in 1995, with the Swoopes 2 introduced during USA Basketball's golden Olympic run in 1996.

While an official release date hasn't been announced for these two pairs, they're expected to land sometime in Aug. for a rumored retail price of $140.
