Okay, now we’re listening Nigo. Coming through with Nike once again, the Nigo Air Force 3 is back and definitely better.
Having only recently stepped up for his debut Nike collection, HUMAN MADE and KENZO’s Nigo was met with mixed reviews for his first entry, with many viewing the pair as slightly unoriginal. Rounding out 2024 with another take on the under-appreciated Air Force 3, it looks as though Nigo has hit the nail on the head for his second go around, officially unveiling the new pair in a “Baroque Brown/Pecan” iteration. Continuing their metaphorical journey, Nike and Nigo draw inspiration from the brand’s heritage DNA, Nigo’s own personal collections, as well as renowned pop culture nostalgia. This low-top edition of the AF3 utilises a tasteful balance of earthy “Baroque Brown,” “Pecan,” “Fir” and “Hemp.” Seemingly taking additional inspiration from the iconic The Planet of the Apes (1968) films, a new comic-style short film has released to announce the news, showing the sneaker crash landing to earth and boasting a real and synthetic leather upper adorned with a hair-on cowhide leather base, instilling some depth to the pair. As per the previous release, the Nigo x Nike Air Force 3 opts for a comfort-centric plush lining and full-length Nike Air cushioning, with final details including vintage lettering on the tongue, jungle-inspired insoles, co-branded logos, as well as metallic gold accessories.
The new Nigo x Nike Air Force 3 will be available to shop via the Nike website on December 19th.
