Nike now officially knows NIGO. A two-pair collection kicked off the partnership between the two cultural movers in October, but official word out of Beaverton was that the capsule was just the beginning of a wider partnership. It appears we won’t have to wait long to see their next steps, as a new edition of the NIGO Nike Air Force 3 has just hit the newswire.
The new edition shares a ton of DNA with the previously unveiled “Khaki” look, embracing a far more textured arrangement than the Super Sentai-inspired patent leather pairs. Here, thick horse hair overcomes the base layer, corduroy paints the collar, and terry cloth drapes the sock-liner.
Perhaps most intriguing is the embossed text on the leather overlays, reflecting vintage “NIKE AIR FORCE THREE” text on the tongue of the left shoe. Again, the multi-colored editions that kicked off the Nike NIGO relationship loom large for this colorway as the Kenzo head pulls a complete 180 into earthy territory.
Industry insider @brandon1an reports that this “Baroque Brown” and the “Khaki” colorways will release as we close out 2024. Though retail pricing isn’t confirmed for either pair, expect it to align with the $160 MSRP from the previous two-pack.
In a similarly once-unthinkable release, the Wu Tang Dunks will get their first-ever wide release on November 9th.
