Japanese store Swagger have been one of the figureheads in Japanese hip-hop and streetwear culture for a decade now, and to celebrate their 10th birthday Swagger have teamed up with Nike to produce a highly limited collaboration. Store founders ‘The Ignition Man’ and ‘Big-O’ (creator of the similarly popular Phenomenon brand) are huge fans of Nike basketball shoes and were looking to celebrate 10 years in the industry by adding their own personal touch to one of their favourite shoes.

Taking the Terminator Hi shoe and really going to town on the finish, as well as the concept, the Swagger x Nike colab sold out within hours of launching in their native Japan. As with their previous colabs with the like of Head Porter, the finishing and detail is superb, with croc leather uppers, and each shoe a different colour, this premium release really stands out.

After first being seen on the feet of ‘hype’ darling Lupe Fiasco a few months ago, reaction on the blogs and the subsequent sell-out in Japan show that sneakerheads worldwide can’t get enough of this highly limited release.

Limited to 80 pairs in the UK we are very pleased to have the Swagger x Nike colab online and instore now, and while we’re at it, check out the Swagger website, literally one of the best we’ve seen in ages!
