Things have really come full circle for Japanese streetwear legend NIGO. After founding BAPE and creating his own version of the AF1, the BAPE STA, in 2000, leaving the label in 2013 to work on his new Human Made brand, and forming a partnership with Nike in 2023, he finally released his very own Nike Air Force 1 Low in 2026. The Last Orgy 2 AF1 ‘01 marked the start of the retro-inspired 2001 AF1 shape that has taken over plenty of collabs and colorways, but NIGO’s feel extra special thanks to his long (yet unofficial) connection to the legendary silhouette. Now, following his World Tour AF1 collection tapping K-pop idol J-Hope for a three-way collab, NIGO is going back to Japan to work with his own Human Made label.
NIGO x Human Made x Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘01 Details
According to the mockup and info from Brandon1an and Sneaker Market RO, NIGO’s three-way collab AF1 will feature a patent leather upper in multiple shades, including yellow, cream, brown, and green. Yellow patent leather surrounds the brown toebox, with shades of green landing on the eyelets and heel overlay. Human Made’s heart logo is embroidered on the lateral heel, resting below the brown Swoosh and heel tab.
Neutral shades of cream and white are found on the midfoot panel, laces, and tongue, with another brown accent appearing on the AF1 branding on the woven tongue tag. Finishing the sneaker is the white AF 1 midsole and a semi-translucent rubber outsole. Considering this is a mock-up, the final product may differ from the design pictured.
