Overview
- Nike, Japanese designer Nigo and BTS member J‑Hope announced a three-way Air Force 1 ’01 collaboration that combines retro Tokyo aesthetics with the artists’ signatures.
- The shoe, nicknamed “Burnt Sunrise,” uses glossy brown and metallic gold leather with chlorine blue accents, a squirrel embroidery on the heel, and patterned, thicker laces.
- The release will roll out in two tiers, with an initial Humanmade.jp exclusive followed by a wider SNKRS and select retail drop that is slated to arrive on Oct. 22.
- Published coverage and sources differ on the exact Humanmade.jp exclusive date, with some reports listing Oct. 17 and others Oct. 27, creating confusion for collectors.
- The drop continues Nigo’s multi-season Air Force World Tour and highlights how staggered, branded packaging and limited exclusives can drive demand and resale interest.
