Firstly, beyond designing, one must commend Nigo’s ways of rolling out and feeding the anticipation for his Nike drops. We have previously seen him in some Airforce 3s as well as a co-branded Nike and Nigo crew neck as well. This time around he popped out at the Kenzo SS25 with his rendition of the Nike Airforce 3 lows.

The debut of the new Nike sneaker at fashion week was a star-studded affair, with celebrities, influencers, and fashion insiders flocking to catch a glimpse of the highly anticipated collaboration. The sneaker itself was something fresh and nostalgic at the same time. The Airforce 3 features Nigo's distinct design touches such as bold colour blocking, unexpected material combinations, and intricate detailing that set it apart from anything else on the market.

One of the standout features of the new Nike sneaker was the mix of materials, the colours and his reinterpretation of the tongue. Nigo is known to push the boundaries of traditional sneaker design by incorporating unexpected materials or by simply reminding you about certain designs that some people may have slept on and adding his flame to it, so they get the shine they deserve. The colour palette of the sneaker is very Nigo as he opts for vibrant hues and playful contrasts that make the shoe pop. From bold primary colours to subtle pastel tones, each colour was carefully chosen to make a statement and complement the overall design aesthetic.
