Grace Ladoja’s Homecoming Festival has been instrumental in bringing focus to Lagos, Nigeria’s creative culture for nearly a decade. From fashion and sneakers to music, art, sport, dance, community, and more, the Homecoming Festival has become a beacon for culture across the globe. This year, Nike has joined the effort with a full-fledged collab, turning over the Air Max Plus to Ladoja for a two-colorway collab inspired by Lagos, London, and the festival.

Blending inspiration from her two homes, London and Lagos, Ladoja chose the Nike Air Max Plus for its meaning in London, and the colors, materials, and accessories for their connection to Lagos. Arriving in two colorways, triple-black and bright orange with a bit of black gradient, the pairs first dropped last week at the Homecoming Festival, and will now see a wider release this week.

Both shoes feature a plasticy coating overlaid on top of the upper, multiple pairs of multi-color rope laces weaving between each other, and co-branded Homecoming x Nike charms, one in a circle and the other in the shape of Africa. In an editorial campaign for the shoe, Ladoja and Nike took the shoes around Lagos, incorporating the collab into local culture.

The Homecoming x Nike Air Max Plus Pack was released at the Homecoming festival in Lagos in early April, with an online drop via Homecoming's website on April 21 at 6 PM BST (1 PM EDT). A SNKRS drop for select regions will take place on the 23rd. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $190.
