Nigo and Nike are back with a new entry in their partnership this year. The Japanese designer will continue to iterate on his Air Force 3 design, with a crisp “White Croc” pair expected to release later in 2025.
Nigo first announced his collaborative partnership with Nike about two years ago now, in 2023. The Japanese designer and founder of BAPE did not release his first project until a year and a half later, in Fall 2024, which features a fairly unconventional choice of sneaker, the Air Force 3. Originally released in 1988, the AF3 never quite had the same public appeal as the original, and was shelved in the Nike archive for years. Now, Nigo has released a handful of colors over the past six months, and is now teasing a new release for 2025.
This week, Nigo was photographed wearing a fresh take on his Air Force 3 silhouette, with some material changes and a simplified color scheme. His first released featured, bold, striking color blocking, but the next pairs seem to scale that back significantly, leaning into a tonal build. In the two photos below, one pair appears to be in a veg-tan leather shade while the other is pure white, though this is likely just a lighting trick. the new style features a crocodile leather mudguard and gold Nike branding and ornaments, over a plain white base.

The next release from Japanese designer Nigo and Nike has not been announced yet, but will likely release sometime later in 2025. Once again featuring the Air Force 3, the latest pair sports a crisp all-white crocodile leather look, and will likely be available from both partners and select retailers for $150.
