World-renown Japanese fashion designer, Nigö, and Nike are set to collaborate on an upcoming silhouette.

Nigö, whose real name is Tomoaki Nagao, is the founder of A Bathing Ape and Human Made, which were created in 1993 and 2010. He had a longstanding partnership with Adidas, and previously worked with Billionaire Boys Club and their affiliate, Ice Cream. He is currently the artistic director for Kenzo, a French fashion company.

In 2013, Nigö departed from A Bathing Ape after spending 20 years building the company. During those years, he released several sneakers under A Bathing Ape, many of which resemble iconic Nike silhouettes.

In January, Nike filed a sneaker trademark lawsuit against A Bathing Ape. Bape has been selling their Bapestas, Bape Sk8 Stas, and Court Stas sneakers for decades, mimicking Nike’s Air Force 1, Dunk, and Air Jordan 1.

Nigö’s first silhouette with Nike could come as early as 2024.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
