Andrew Rizzo Updated April 14th, 2025: Official images of the Nike x NIGO Air Force 3 in the alternate black colorway have just surfaced, swapping from gold accents to silver in addition to its primary coloring. Additionally, these angles reveal a spinning record on the right tone of the shoe, likely an indication that music rather than film is the inspiration for this duo. The same croc skin materials that paced the first teased white edition remain in place, while the packaging details remain consistent from the initial capsule released in 2024.
To officially kick off the promo cycle for this latest step in the collab, NIGO shared the “WAF3” promo, continuing the references to pop culture of the 1980s with a specific focus on office comedies and on-air radio shows. Catch the full suite of new shots below as well as the full “ad” spot. Both colorways are expected to release on April 24th.

Original article published April 7th, 2025: The first Nike Air Force 3 by legendary Japanese designer NIGO went all-in on nostalgia with a multicolor mix, but subsequent projects have steadily gotten more and more contemporary. Following “Ape-Force” and “Light British Tan” colorways in 2024, Chicago’s Isimeme “Easy” Otabor has unveiled one of two new NIGO x Air Force 3 styles releasing April 24th.
The on-foot image shows an all-white sneaker featuring croc skin and gold tongue branding, letting the focus lie on texture in lieu of Bapesta-esque color blasting. Bedazzled gold Nike chains emerge as a standout accessory, echoing the more premium-skewing aesthetic of the sneaker at large. This is one of two fresh NIGO x Air Force 3s scheduled to release on the 24th, joined by a black alternate that supposedly features the same gold touches (no images have surfaced yet).
No price has been announced, but an MSRP around $150-$160 seems likely. We’ll update this article and post on the @sneakernews X account once official images surface.
