After tracking the story in leaks & previews for more than a year, Nike – NIGO is shaping up to dominate headlines for the rest of 2024 (at least.) With a public release of their first collab capsule set for September 28th, an additional colorway just hit the newswire that taps into a much different aesthetic than the pop art, retro style of the Air Force 3s we’ve seen so far.
Where both the “Blue Void” and “Multi-Color” editions both capitalized on primary shaded, vibrant palettes, this one pulls a full 180 for much more neutrally toned fare. A true gum sole and select stripes of burnt orange communicate that idea in the margins, but the true embrace comes with the base of cream and brown on the under & overlays. Likely pointing to a more limited release, either of those sections carries some major hardware intrigue. The foundation in cream carries true fur material, while the leather panels up top execute an embossed mix of block lettering and simple geometric patterns.
It’s unclear whether this pair of Nike x NIGO Air Force 3 is a F&F colorway or just one that hasn’t been officially tipped off just yet. Regardless, with the Human Made head and the Swoosh both promising further product down the line, this new shoe provides valuable information as to what their future output may look like.
