I think Nigo x Nike is a decent collab but the execution is boring. The shoe is fine, but it's really awkward when bape is being sued for essentially what Nigo did with bape, and then they turn around and make a shoe that is vaguely a bapesta with patent leather.
Originally I didn’t like them but the factors that got me were the colors, nostalgic bape patent leather, Gundam/Voltron anime style marketing along with the Air Force evolved model. White Air Forces were the shoes that made me a sneakerhead when I was a kid so it’s only right. I love Nigo, Human Made, CPFM Air Forces, their unorthodox approach and Marvel Bapestas because I grew up playing Marvel Superheroes & Capcom 🆚
I think you articulated it quite well. I was excited by the anime and what they looked like, but when seeing them, I thought I was on the wrong image. Simple. I would love to hear about more independent/small-mid brands in Japan or visiting Japan. Lots of designers are coming in and out of Japan and I have heard many different 'first time' views of what Japanese Fashion is like before getting here and seeing. Where does one go to see the grass roots stuff?
Would you consider doing an episode on the faction of Congolese Sapeurs (Le Sape) who follow Yohji Yamamoto hardcore. Think this would be right up your alley.
I agree. A pretty outdated collab idea coming into fruition ten years too late, specially given the history of Nike's dispute over the bapesta. And knowing other sneaker brands have already taken an evolutionary leap that has resonated with consumers, it feels like Nike and Nigo alike are content to rehash an outdated idea with bland results, at least when regarding the sneakers. I have to also be critical of Nigo's intention for this collab, as it's just too... infantile. I don't mind the choice in colors, but a color palette as bold as this collection's can benefit from more understated prints, not the Nigo logo done in Nike font. As a matter of fact, the more I write about it, the more grossed-out I become at the idea Nike is willing to release just about anything to get their stock to keep from plummeting further down.
Before Kanye ,nigo and Pharrell, I already fell in love with anime and fashion because of my up-bring in New York and my Caribbean side but as I got older and more conscious, I questioned the whereabouts of the materials philosophy of the brand and the safety of the workers working in those textile factories. humans in general shouldn’t be worshiping celebrities at all because they’re still human ,capitalism has ruined art, Pharrell and nigo is already burned out, they should’ve never took that job at LVMH and Kenzo how far they can reach their creativity they have too much in hand. I’m pretty sure they both is barely seeing their family. Virgil Barely saw his family when he was working at LVMH
Idk but no disrespect, your not old enuff to know about the history of the Air Force 3! It’s an iconic silhouette, and it makes plenty of sense! I’m piss Nike doesn’t retro this sneaker enough! They have so much heat in the vault, but keep retroing the same sneakers year in & year out! 🤦🏽♂️ I appreciate your approach 🙏🏾 keep doing your thing tho! 💯
I think it’s a good first step for Nike to try and set itself apart from the competition and be that leader in fashion because lately… they’ve been pretty mid Ngl
Tbh no he can’t. I love the dude but Nike can’t save itself from what they dug themselves into, they deserve after all the anti consumer crap they pulled. They can cry to the resellers yall can keep your crappy Jordan 1s n dunks.
Cause they kept doing the same thing . And the collaborations are so boring . They need more diversity in the company. Not yes men . And who cares about these influencers style most of them are so out of touch with reality.
SAVE NIKE LOL THEY ARE NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AND THEY ARE NOT LOSING MONEY LIKE THAT SO WHEN I SEE THESE TITLES I FIND THEM FUNNY YOU MEAN CAN NIGO MAJE OT TRENDY FOR THE TRENDY HEADS LOL
@@Moe_Lester_fromUptwn Well Glad to Hear That cause UA Sucks period But I'm A Nike Guy since 12 I was a Jordan fan but I'm definitely NIKE from here on but the collaboration with Nigo is a DOPE move u can have your own opinion but remember some people are closed minded and what you say sometimes can come off like a Busta Azz H8ter
It means nothing negative should have been said. So his response was to pick the lamest sneaker brand he could think of and apply it to the one delivering the message. Fair enough. Everyone has an opinion.
Those shoes look like your 2 yrs old fisher price baby shoes lame non original stuff..NIGO 👎 🗑 🚮 🗑 😮 😝 we have seen this style not long ago and it failed.
I'm glad Nigo didn't do a generic shoe and went with something from the archive
“This Nigo” cover is crazy, my nigo, nigo please 😂🤣
Head NIGO in Charge
I hope everyone still feels this way comes Friday. It will be an easy copp for me
I knew you was gon say keezy lmfao

The colab is crazy work, but they trying to bring the hype beast craze back. I'm good on that frfr.

Always on point Reggie ... 😂
I really wish you talked with Keezy about this collection lol would have been fun seeing both sides or if he cares at all
Its just different logo on the same item. What's new?

Yooo shoutout to Keezy!!💯💯

7:26 teriyaki boyz comment is on point like a mf
IM EXCITED 🎉
They remind me of the multicolor Greedy Genius joints I had
Nigo please
Nigo what?
My nigo
I KNOW THE TERIYAKI BOYZ!
I thought the shoes were an eBay collab 🤦🏻♂️
Agree! The anime is wayyyyy much better than the shoes!
Nah. I’ve been out since Errolson left tbh
Boeing, Intel, Microsoft, Starbucks, Nike . . .
i like your noragi, wish i could get one
he's not ripping up trees at Kenzo innit

if they took out the green on the sneakers, it could've been a 結束バンド shoe 😂
This is like teaming up with trailblazers era scottie pippen
Or gucci flipflops pippen even.
This is just bad. And desperate

Bout 15 to 20 years too late.
@SeemeonMars - that’s the first thing that popped in my mind. In 2005-2008 this would’ve sold out. They kinda remind me of union 180s.
Nike just gotta start making hype loafers and all the fashion mfs will come crawling back
Yup. Nike is a mess right now. They're stalling on Caitlin Clark's signature shoe simply because they don't want to alienate A'ja Wilson.

only new leadership can save nike. BUT it will be sooooo good when they come back... i hope lol
It's more of an economy situation, people are broke and not buying anything. Nike will come back when the economy improves.
NIKE is dumb for fighting after the entire Bape situation. Nigo is a great idea. If u can’t beat them, join them.
I think it’s a good first step for Nike to try and set itself apart from the competition and be that leader in fashion because lately… they’ve been pretty mid Ngl
If they make up wit ye,let him do what he wants , and re-release Yeezys in the classic colorways(each within a span of a year) mfs will go CRAZYYY
Does Nike need saving? 😅 All these idiots think people will stop buying Jordans.
All of it will sell out... Not that it matters
He'll get a rude awakening stateside. He overestimates his Pull.
Shouldn't have dropped Jerry 🤷🏻
💯💪🏾🫡
Those sneakers didn’t connect with the ppl
No.
Air Force 3 ebay😂
4:26 📌
Idk I like em 🎉
No it’s expensive lol
But his work dope
No. Collabs are often failures and this one will be one of them. Very few are successful financially.
They're Backdooring shit like Shit in seconds FNIKE
Pretty boring , what us coming out.
Collaborations with Nike are just play out, new Nike collaboration coming out every week. Just on other one.
these Lego colours are growing on me tbh
Tbh no he can’t. I love the dude but Nike can’t save itself from what they dug themselves into, they deserve after all the anti consumer crap they pulled. They can cry to the resellers yall can keep your crappy Jordan 1s n dunks.
Cause they kept doing the same thing . And the collaborations are so boring . They need more diversity in the company. Not yes men . And who cares about these influencers style most of them are so out of touch with reality.
Nigo 👑

its weird that Nigo wants to work with them after the trademark infringement lawsuit.
They look shit, the nikes my 11 year old nephew designed are way better then this crap
