Nigo x Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘LO2’

Nigo returned to the Air Force 1 Low in May 2026 with a collaboration referencing Last Orgy 2, the influential magazine column he co-edited with Jun Takahashi in the 1990s before they each launched their own fashion brands. For Nigo, the AF1 Low served as a vehicle for looking back at the formative period that shaped both his aesthetic and his career.

The LO2 design incorporated visual references to the magazine’s era, translating editorial energy from print culture into footwear form. The collaboration was characteristically thoughtful for Nigo, more interested in cultural storytelling than surface-level branding.

The Nigo x Nike Air Force 1 Low LO2 retailed at $150 and released May 2, 2026 through Nike SNKRS and select global retail partners.
