Original Story (07/27/24): NIGO is putting his new partnership with Nike to good use. The Japanese streetwear legend and his longtime friend and business partner Steven Victor have unveiled a Victor Victor x Nike Air Force 1, serving as the announcement of NIGO’s next album, I know NIGO too!.
The shoe is a personalized iteration of the white-on-white AF-1, much like the iconic Roc-A-Fella Air Force 1 from 2000. The Victor Victor dog logo is applied to the lateral heels, accompanied by “I know NIGO too!” branding on the tongue tags. These dog logo and album title also appear on the insoles.
I know NIGO too! is the sequel to NIGO’s 2022 compilation album, I know NIGO!, which featured an A-list cast of contributors: Pharrell, A$AP Rocky, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Lil Uzi Vert, Tyler, the Creator, and more. The album released on Steven Victor’s music label Victor Victor.
The Victor Victor x Nike Air Force 1 is expected to be friends-and-family exclusive, so you actually have to know NIGO to get the “I know NIGO too!” shoes. NIGO’s first official release with Nike, the Air Force 3 Low, is slated to drop Fall 2024.

Update (09/23/24): Steven Victor is hosting an “I Know NIGO Too!” pop-up on September 28th in NYC. Attendees will be able to shop apparel as well as NIGO’s new Air Force III collab, and possibly even the “I Know NIGO Too!” Air Force 1.
It is unknown how many pairs of the AF-1 will be available (if any at all), but teasers on the Victor Victor website and Steven Victor’s socials all point to some sort of drop at the pop-up.
Update (09/27/24): The product lineup for the “I Know NIGO Too!” has been unveiled. Unfortunately, the Air Force 1 was not included, though it still may appear at the pop-up as a surprise drop.
