We are finally catching our breath after what can only be described as a historic weekend for the shop. Last week, we had the massive honor of being the global stage for the Nike x Air Afrique kit collection. For two days straight, the energy was off the charts, and we want to thank everyone who stopped by to make it happen.
The First Chapter: The Footwear
This global moment for the jersey was actually the second part of the story. A few months back, we handled the launch of the two footwear silhouettes from this collaboration. Even though we kept that one more low-key without a full event, the response from you guys was incredible. It was the perfect introduction to the project, setting the stage for the deep connection between Nike and the Air Afrique collective that we just celebrated.
More Than Just a Kit
If you have been following the journey of the Air Afrique collective, you know this collaboration goes way deeper than just sportswear. It is a celebration of pan-Africanism, creativity, and the beauty of movement. This jersey represents a bridge between heritage and the future, and we were hyped to be the ones to introduce it to the world.
The design is a nod to the golden age of travel and the creative spirit of the diaspora. Seeing the pieces in person, you can really feel the intention behind every detail.
48 Hours of Energy
The two-day takeover at the shop was exactly what we envisioned. We saw the community come together from all over, sharing stories and picking up their kits. It wasn't just a release; it was a vibe. From the moment we opened the doors on day one until we closed out on Sunday, the atmosphere was electric.
Events like this remind us why we do what we do. It is about providing a space where culture and style meet, and seeing the Nike x Air Afrique collection fly off the shelves and onto the streets was the best part of the whole experience.
Shoutouts Are Mandatory
A huge thank you goes out to the teams at Nike and Air Afrique for trusting us with this global moment. Most importantly, big love to our community. Whether you stood in line, hung out with us at the shop, or supported from afar, we see you.
The kits are now out in the wild, and we cannot wait to see how you all style them.
