Levi’s, Nike and NIGO join forces for a collaboration that feels like a turning point in streetwear history. After years of crossovers between fashion, sport and pop culture, we’re now looking at the first three-way collab—a synergy between three global icons that filters past, present and future.

The chosen model is the Nike Air Force 3 Low, a 1988 silhouette that NIGO reinterprets through the lens of his universe—vintage denim, Japanese culture and stylistic research. The result is a sneaker that blends the artisanal authenticity of Levi’s® with the symbolic power of Nike, building a bridge between archive and contemporaneity.
Released in the Olive Gray colorway, the shoe alternates faded denim and textured suede— a play of materials that treats time as an aesthetic value. Levi’s® Red Tab on the right shoe and the reflective metal Swoosh become iconic details, while the yellowed midsole and rubber outsole complete the story of lived-in authenticity. It’s an object that already feels like it has a history—and in NIGO’s world, that might be the highest compliment.
The collaboration also takes shape in a campaign directed by Anton du Preez, structured into three short films — Mechanic, Fishing and Camping — that place the sneaker in unexpected contexts, celebrating its durability, allure and ease in moving between different worlds.
To us, Levi’s® x NIGO x Nike reads as an exercise in balance between American heritage, Japanese sensibility and a global sports language. A shared vision that builds on time, material and culture as its foundations.
