Nike Teases a Gyakusou Return for Holiday 2026

Nike’s focus on performance running and outdoor adventuring is at the forefront again, thanks to the revamped ACG line and racers like the Vomero Premium and Pegasus Premium. With that energy coursing through Beaverton, a preview photo in a new Nike web feature teased a return of Jun Takahashi and The Swoosh’s collaborative Gyakusou label.

The Gyakusou HO26 label popped up on a piece of paper fronting a full tote in a Nike clothing office during a photo shoot for an article highlighting Nike Chief Design Officer Martin Lotti. So far, we haven’t seen anything else from the collaborative label that last released product in 2021, but we have to imagine the image was included in the piece for a reason.

Founded in 2010, Gyakusou (translated from Japanese to “running in reverse”) is the brainchild of Takahashi, who brought his unique perspective to the world of running and the outdoors. With Takahashi’s past collaborations with NIGO back in the Nike purview, it makes sense to see the Gyakusou label back in the Beaverton office, as well.

As of now, we don’t have any concrete details about what product might return for a Gyakusou Holiday 2026 drop, or if the tote of gear will even make it to the release stage. To keep up with all the latest info as soon as we get it, download the Sole Retriever App.
