At the zenith of BAPE’s popularity almost two decades ago, nobody would have imagined this collaboration possible, considering the bootleg nature of the brand. But now, its founder and former head honcho NIGO unveils his inaugural collaboration with Nike. At the forefront of the partnership: the Air Force 3 Low.

About the NIGO x Nike Air Force 3 Low

With two colorways, “Escape” and “Multi-Color”, having come to light, this iteration of the Air Force 3 Low evokes an interplay of earthy tones. A canvas bathed in hues of Light British Tan and Fossil, the influence of the Planet of the Apes franchise, a source of inspiration for BAPE’s origins, is subtly woven into the pair’s design DNA. A connection further emphasized by a hidden graphic on the insoles.

Texture adds a captivating layer to the narrative. The upper boasts a foundation of pony hair underlays, its tactile nature contrasting with the sleekness of the brown debossed leather overlays. NIGO’s signature branding graces the heel with its design culminating over a gum rubber outsole.

Release Details

Launching this Holiday season, the NIGO x Nike Air Force 3 Low “Light British Tan” will be available at select retailers, HUMAN MADE stores, and on Nike.com—priced at US$160.
