The collaboration between NIGO and Nike is set to debut as the NIGO x Nike Air Force 3 Low launches the new partnership.

Speculation surrounding the NIGO x Nike collaboration intensified earlier this year following the conclusion of his partnership with adidas in 2023. This speculation was confirmed when NIGO showcased the upcoming NIGO x Nike Air Force 3 Low at Paris Fashion Week.

This moment marks a full-circle for the creator of the AF1-inspired BAPE STA, who now spearheads a model from the esteemed Air Force lineup.

First introduced in 1988, the Nike Air Force 3 is a lesser-known yet significant member of the renowned Air Force family, evolving from previous designs. Originally intended for basketball, it boasted Nike’s innovative Air cushioning technology and enhanced stability, ensuring it was performance-focused for the court.

With its high-top silhouette, striking lines, and bold branding, the Air Force 3 distinguished itself from prior models. Unique midsole ridges and a sturdier construction made it more durable compared to the Air Force 1.

The Air Force 3 played a pivotal role in reinforcing Nike’s supremacy in basketball culture during the late ’80s. While it may not have garnered the same mainstream acclaim as other models, its vintage character and chunky design have retained its status among collectors and retro aficionados.

With this upcoming release, NIGO will revitalize the often-overlooked model by introducing a vibrant multi-color version crafted from premium materials.

The NIGO x Nike Air Force 3 Low “Blue Void” is set to launch at a price of $160 on September 28, 2024, exclusively available at Otsumo Plaza in Tokyo, humanmade.jp, and the “I Know Nigo 2” pop-up in New York. A global release will follow on October 4, 2024, via SNKRS and select retailers.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
