On one side, a Japanese designer who's distilled vintage, streetwear, and music taste into his own design philosophy; on the other, an idol known for his stage presence as one of BTS's key performers. This time, the two found common ground on the Nike Air Force 1 Low '01. The shoe's main hue is a slightly orange-red Burnt Sunrise, layered with a Metallic Gold sheen, then finished off with touches of Taupe, Chlorine Blue, Arctic Punch, and Sail—giving this classic silhouette a bit more stage flair than the original.
Officially titled the NIGO x J-Hope x Nike Air Force 1 Low '01 "World Tour" (style code: IO8766-800), the shoe drops October 22, 2026 via SNKRS and select retailers, priced at $150.
NIGO's streetwear aesthetic, built up through BAPE and Human Made, has long served as a reference point for the fashion world, while j-hope is one of the few BTS members straddling dual identities as both musician and fashion ambassador. This collab skips the flashy structural overhauls, putting all the focus on the contrast between colorway and material—the combo of metallic gold and sunset orange stands out dramatically against the Air Force 1's usually understated silhouette.
