j-hope and Nigo's Nike Air Force 1 Drops Oct. 22: Price, Colorway, and How to Cop

BTS star j-hope has officially entered his sneaker collab era. He’s teamed up with Japanese streetwear legend Nigo, the founder of A Bathing Ape and Human Made, on a Nike Air Force 1 that’s already generating serious hype. The shoe features a glossy Burnt Sunrise and Metallic Gold colorway with bright blue accents, patterned laces, and squirrel graphics that reference j-hope’s nickname. It’s all part of Nigo’s Air Force 1 World Tour project and draws from the slimmer 2001 version of the iconic silhouette.

The sneaker first launched on Oct. 17 through Nigo’s Human Made label, but the worldwide release is set for Thursday, Oct. 22, at $150. You’ll be able to grab a pair through Nike’s SNKRS app and select retailers, and given the star power involved, expect them to disappear fast. j-hope’s fashion résumé keeps growing, especially with his role as a Louis Vuitton ambassador, while Nigo has a long history of musician collaborations from Pharrell to, now, one of the biggest pop stars in the world.

This drop is more than a sneaker release. It’s a genuine music-meets-fashion moment that will have both ARMY and sneakerheads hitting refresh at the same time. If you’re planning to go for a pair, get your SNKRS account set up, save your payment info in advance, and be ready the second the drop goes live. Are you trying to cop these, or are you sitting this one out? Let us know in the comments.
