If you thought NIGO was done with the Nike Air Force 3 sneaker, you thought wrong.
A month after NIGO’s first Nike shoes landed on Earth, another Nike Air Force 3 collaboration entered the atmosphere.
The unreleased NIGO x Nike Air Force 3 sneaker presents itself in a “Baroque Brown” colorway alongside plenty of textural details. There are patterned overlays, corduroy moments (again), and incredibly hairy panels, all wrapped in delicious green and brown shades.
The chunky skate-like Air Force 3 sneaker also features a super plush lining and a creamy leathery Swoosh on the sidewall.
But that’s not all. Another similarly textured NIGO x Nike Air Force 3 sneaker has been making its way around the internet. The second pair comes dressed in a brown and khaki colorway with cream-colored hair.
NIGO’s latest fuzzy Air Force 3 sneakers are rumored to release in 2025. But of course, we’ll need that hard confirmation from NIGO and Nike before we start making room in our closets.
NIGO and Nike were pretty tight-lipped about the intial Air Force 3 sneakers despite leaks and casual shoe reveals by the KENZO creative director. Indeed, NIGO didn’t hide the fact that he was team Nike (anyone cop that NIGO x Nike tee?).
In October, NIGO made his Nike debut and re-introduced the world to the underrated rugged classic, the Air Force 3. The long-awaited collaboration echoed NIGO’s cultural influences, with the two vibrant colorways alone harkened back to his BAPE days.
NIGO’s first Air Force 3 collab came with a collegiate-style “N” patch as an added treat, while the brown pairs have been spotted with an “I” decoration.
Could we see NIGO’s name spelled out with two more Air Force 3 sneaker collaborations? Or am I reaching?
Only time and NIGO will tell.
