Some fashion designers create clothes that blend in, but Tomo Koizumi has never embraced subtlety. The Japanese designer has made a career on giant, elaborate, rainbow-colored dresses that fit just as well in museums as they do on runways and the pages of Vogue.
Koizumi’s latest project is a partnership with Nike, featuring a new colorway of the Air Superfly designed for some of the fastest women in the world. The Tomo Koizumi x Nike Air Superfly keeps with Koizumi’s bright, bold tradition, using lenticular material on the upper that changes color depending on the angle, creating a rainbow underfoot. The shoe comes with a selection of Velcro Swooshes and lace colors for customization. The outsole has a translucent rainbow color, and the custom box features rainbow packing paper and a Velcro set on the underside of the top to keep the spare Swooshes organized.
The shoe was released in conjunction with a new Nike documentary hosted on Vogue Japan featuring Koizumi and track and field athlete Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who is set to retire at the end of the year. In a separate, short commercial created for the collaboration, Koizumi adds a pair of shoes to lockers for Fraser-Pryce, along with Nike-sponsored track athletes Masai Russell and Aoki Arie, hinting at more content to support the shoe on the way.
The Toko Koizumi x Nike Air Superfly will be released on September 20, 2025, through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $170.
