UPDATE 11/10/25: NIGO’s upcoming Air Force 3 “Kintsugi Pack” now has confirmed release details. Drawing inspiration from kintsugi, the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with gold, the shoes showcase textured leathers that resemble ceramic alongside gold debossing to accentuate the “repaired” lines running throughout the upper. Asymmetric colour blocking and a split midsole extend the theme throughout, lending an introspective, handmade touch to the AF3 classic.
NIGO’s early years in Maebashi were marked by a deep fascination with American culture — music, movies, fashion — all of which shaped his creative identity.
