'I Know Nigo Too!' Pop-Up Teases Unreleased Nigo x Nikes

Japanese designer Nigo's once-unconceivable collaboration with Nike is close to being released, and it looks like there will be a special opportunity for people to pick up the sneakers ahead of their official launch.

Record executive and CEO of Victor Victor Worldwide Steven Victor took to Instagram Saturday to announce an "I Know Nigo Too!" pop-up in New York City. The short announcement clip includes a look at Nigo's unreleased Nike Air Force 3 collaboration along with an "I Know Nigo Too!" Nike Air Force 1 Low which Victor has previously teased on social media.

The "I Know Nigo Too!" Nike Air Force 1 uses the model's classic white-on-white colorway but adds a premium tumbled leather and custom details. The tongue features "I Know Nigo Too!" branding on its woven label, while the heel features embroidery of the Victor Victor Worldwide worldwide logo: a Japanese fighting dog known as the Tosa. Victor has gifted special packages of the Air Force 1 Lows limited to just 25 units to select friends and family including rapper Lil Uzi Vert.

Victor Victor Worldwide and Republic Records released Nigo's "I Know Nigo!" studio album in 2022. The album, Nigo's second and first since 2000's "Ape Sounds," featured a number of artists including ASAP Rock, Tyler the Creator and Pharrell Williams.

The new "I Know Nigo Too!" branding seems to foreshadow a new album release from the designer, although that has yet to be confirmed.

While it's not immediately clear exactly which items will be available from the upcoming pop-up, the teaser hints that both the Nigo x Nike Air Force 3 collaboration and the "I Know Nigo Too!" Nike Air Force 1 Lows will be available.

The "I Know Nigo Too!" pop-up takes place Saturday, Sept. 28 at 10 a.m. ET at 378 Broome St. This story will be updated with any further announcements.
