Nike<\/a> is adding another collaborator to its portfolio as a Nigo x Nike<\/strong> collaboration is in the works, according to Complex<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nigo<\/a>, the current artistic director for fashion house Kenzo and the founder of BAPE<\/a> and Human Made, will work with the Swoosh for the first time in his prolific artistic and design career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both BAPE and Human Made have had a longstanding and extensive relationship with adidas<\/a>. However, according to Complex<\/em>, Nigo and adidas did not extend their contract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to BAPE’s ties with adidas, Nike and BAPE are currently undergoing a legal battle<\/a> over the trademark design of the Nike Air Force 1 Low as Nike alleges that the BAPESTA (its AF1 lookalike) infringes on the design<\/a> and is causing confusion in the marketplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent update in the Nike vs. BAPE lawsuit stated that \u201cNike\u2019s in-house counsel and Nike\u2019s V.P. of footwear flew to Japan twice to meet with BAPE\u2019s leadership.\u201d Nike reportedly followed up the meetings with a proposed licensing agreement along with an ask for the brand to stop producing BAPESTAs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Nigo sold BAPE off in 2011 and stepped away from the company shortly after, the history of Nike, BAPE, and Nigo is worth noting ahead of the rumored Nigo x Nike collaboration slated for 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Details of the Nigo x Nike collaboration have not been disclosed but we anticipate footwear and apparel to headline the collaborative effort between the Japanese designer and the Swoosh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
