The Nike x NIGO x j-hope x Air Force 1 '01 'Burnt Sunrise' (2026) brings together two names from very different corners of culture: NIGO, the Tokyo designer behind BAPE and Human Made, and j-hope of BTS. The result is a glossy Air Force 1 in orange and gold that drops in Japan on 17 October 2026 and worldwide on 22 October 2026.
An Air Force 1 '01 in Burnt Sunrise and Metallic Gold
The pair is built on the Air Force 1 '01, the 2001 version of the silhouette that NIGO has used as the base for his Nike work. The upper comes in glossy Burnt Sunrise leather, with Metallic Gold overlays and Chlorine Blue accents for contrast.
j-hope's side of the collaboration shows up in the details. Squirrel graphics, inspired by his personality, sit on the shoe, and the laces get their own special treatment. The colour palette mixes NIGO's 1990s Tokyo nostalgia with the bright, playful look j-hope's fans call "hobicore".
Part of NIGO's Air Force 1 World Tour
The 'Burnt Sunrise' is the latest chapter in NIGO's Air Force 1 World Tour, a series in which he pairs the Air Force 1 with friends and collaborators from around the world. The previous entry was the NOWHERE x NIGO x Jun Takahashi 'Last Orgy' pair. Teaming up with j-hope takes the series straight into K-pop, and gives BTS fans and Air Force 1 collectors the same pair to chase.
