Check Out a First Look at the Upcoming J-Hope x NIGO x Nike Air Force 1 Low '01

K-Pop is one of the biggest forces across pop culture. From its start in music and dancing to movies and brand partnerships across the consumer product industry, groups like BLACKPINK and BTS are the closest thing we have to the Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys of the past. With the help of BTS star J-Hope, the latest K-Pop sneaker collab is a Human Hope Air Force 1 ‘01.

Human Hope

The J-Hope x NIGO x Nike Air Force 1 Low '01 is the latest pair from A Bathing Ape founder NIGO’s AF1 ‘01 run that debuted with a Last Orgy 2 pair in purple and a triple-white pair that sat on display at his London art show. On his third colorway of the ‘01 shape revival, NIGO teamed up with J-Hope to continue the duo’s Human Hope collab collection.

Starting with wood-colored brown on the toe, lace panel, and heel tab, the patent leather upper switches to a lighter shade of beige brown on the toebox, side panels, and Swoosh. The heel panel switches to grey and a white midsole adds pink and blue accents on the AIR branding for a small hit of color.
