NIGO and Nike are coming full (Air) force. After months and months of teases, the pair have officially unveiled their first-ever collaboration, including those long-awaited Air Force III sneakers and accompanying clothes.
The Nike Air Force III sneaker leads NIGO and Nike’s team-up, arriving in a colorful, well, colorway inspired by NIGO’s favorite television shows from his childhood.
Underneath the sneaker’s vibrant paint job, the rugged Air Force offers up an even more impressive construction, featuring with shiny patent leathers, breathable underlays, and even luscious ribbed knits. With the streetwear god himself involved, of course, NIGO’s Air Force III sneakers are incredibly stylish (they’re luxury, too).
NIGO and Nike’s collaboration tops off with some apparel options, particularly a varsity jacket and hoodie featuring luxe-level touches, which speaks to NIGO’s far-reaching fashion legacy.
The NIGO x Nike collab finally lands on September 28 exclusively at Otsumo Plaza in Tokyo and on Human Made’s website. It will also be available at the “I Know Nigo 2” pop-up in New York, followed by a global launch on Nike’s SNKRS app on October 4.
In case any fans are wondering, NIGO x Nike doesn’t just stop at the Air Force III. Nike confirms in a press release that NIGO and Nike’s debut collaboration is only the beginning of “an iconic partnership decades in the making.”
So…those NIGO Swoosh tees up next? Fingers crossed.
