Nike, a colossal sports brand, is collaborating with legendary designer Nigo for the first time to launch an exclusive Air Force III silhouette and apparel collection. This collaboration is a celebration of Nigo's contribution to modern streetwear and pop culture—not simply another footwear drop.
If the Air Force III History Runs Deeper
Nigo has redesigned the Air Force III by taking from its rough and bold history, so you can expect something new. Known for his deep-rooted love of pop culture, particularly vintage, and a preference to his references in even more extravagant formalwear and sartorial pursuits, there is an interesting and appropriate new vision of the traditional sneaker model in referencing Nigo's eclectic approaches.
This isn't the beginning of the Nike x Nigo collaboration, but certainly the first. Nike's box for the Air Force III sneaker was adorned with "X", so you can assume footwear and apparel collections will be in line with Nigo's vision of streetwear sensibility. In some small regard, this collaboration has been years in the making from both brands and in today's cultural moment, there is simply too much at stake.
Avilable for Limited Time
The Nike x Nigo Air Force III sneaker and collection will be dropped on September 28 from three limited-availability locations Otsumo Plaza at Tokyo, humanmade.jp and "I Know Nigo 2" pop-up store in New York. An eventual drop would be made on Nike's SNKRS site on October 4.
Whether your interest is entrenched in streetwear or your sneaker profile lies among numerous stripes and technical trainers, streetwear and fashion fans alike will want to pay attention to this limited drop as a hidden gem to add to your archive, or an affinity in memory of another.
