In 2024, Nike partnered with streetwear pioneer NIGO, bridging the forward-thinking edge of the Japanese tastemaker with the Swoosh’s unending journey through culture. Since the debut multi-colored fare clad in patent leather pinks, NIGO and Nike have delivered a steady series of Air Force 3 colorways, ushering in the loud era of style of the mid-2000s , the American ethos of Levi’s, and even traditional Japanese crafts of Kintsugi.

For 2026, the dynamic duo are now hitting on sports heritage with two varsity-style executions of the model. Chenille finishes on the Swoosh mimic team logos, while the woolen upper and leather mudguards mirror the fabric and leather sleeves of these athlete-only jackets. The FORCE embroidery on the tongue is a call-out to the patches often seen on the chests and sleeves of these iconic apparel pieces.

Two colorway options are presented in Forest Green/Oatmeal and Midnight Navy/Off White; both feature white midsoles with either gum soles on the green pair and black outsoles on the navy.

Currently, a release is expected January 1st at EU-based retailers such as BSTN; global release info will be disclosed soon.
