The Nike Nigo x Air Force 3 Low “Olive Grey” pays tribute to basketball heritage through the lens of Japanese streetwear’s most influential figure. Nigo, the creative force behind Human Made and the pioneer of A Bathing Ape, reimagines the late-’80s hoops icon with a unique blend of premium materials, archival detail, and cultural crossover.
This collaboration introduces Levi’s denim panelling across the upper, each pair hand-stone-washed for a finish that guarantees individuality. The washed textures sit alongside smooth leather and breathable textile underlays, creating a layered construction that feels both vintage and fresh. A Levi’s tab sits at the eyestay, mirroring the placement of the brand’s iconic denim labels, while a custom insole graphic nods to classic Levi’s advertising history. Select pairs include a blank tab, aligning with Levi’s traditional branding practice and heightening the collectible appeal.
Despite the denim focus, Nike’s basketball DNA still shines through. The chunky Air Force 3 sole unit, supportive overlays, and bold proportions stay true to the original late-’80s build. Co-branded details from Nike and Nigo punctuate the look, marking this release as both a performance-rooted classic and a streetwear artefact.
For fans of Nigo’s archival vision and lovers of Nike’s heritage silhouettes, the Air Force 3 Low “Olive Grey” embodies the intersection of two worlds—where vintage denim meets basketball history. With limited availability and unmistakable storytelling, this collaboration cements itself as one of 2025’s standout releases.
