Eighteen years ago, Nike dropped one of the most impactful collaborations in sneaker history. Featuring New York graffiti royalty Stash, the two conspired to create a trio of colourways on three iconic Air cushioned silhouettes—the Air Force 1, Air Max 95 and Air Max BW.
At a time when sneaker lines and reselling was yet to overrun the community, the Nike x Stash release resonated with plenty and cause quite the stir. To this day many sneaker afficionados (ourselves included) covet some or all of the shoes in this pack. Something about the colour palette, materials and silhouettes hit different and it changed how many thought a sneaker collaboration could work.
Late in 2024 Nike has treated us to something extra-special—a revisit to this iconic partnership. We appreciate that rather than a 1:1 re-issue, this release comes more as an update to the 2006 originals. In a way this feels like the sort of things Stash might have wanted to do in '06 but wasn't afforded the opportunity to do. Whatever the reason, this release captures the essence of the OGs without sullying the history.
