Stüssy Announces Release Date for Its Nike Air Force 1 Mid Collaboration

Back in December 2021, product shots of the upcoming Stüssy x Nike Air Force 1 Mid surfaced online. Fast forward to May 2022, the streetwear brand finally confirms a release date, which is literally just around the corner. The pair is expected to be part of Nike’s 40th-anniversary celebrations for the Air Force 1 in 2022.

A Stüssy x Nike apparel collection is also rumored to tag along with the collaboration’s footwear offerings, including a tee featuring a stacked graphic of the brands’ logos and “peace-and-love” symbols.

While Air Force 1 Mids have traditionally been the less popular variant of the model, Nike has made a concerted effort to push the Mid-variant of some of its most popular sneakers, including the Air Jordan 1. This, and the increased coverage of Mids by publications such as ours or Instagram mood boards, led to some sneakerheads believing that there was a “Mid-Agenda” online.

That’s clearly not the case, however, it has to be said that the Swoosh has definitely given those variants more attention over the past few seasons, which has included collaborations, such as this upcoming Stüssy project, and better general release colorways.
