Shown here is a new trio of Nike Air Force 1s releasing in the summer, which will presumably show up in time for the Fourth of July. At first glance the group might seem like another Riccardo Tisci take on the iconic basketball shoe thanks to the Givenchy style stars, but that connection seems unlikely given that collab was with Tisci in the first place, and not Givenchy.

Exclusive: Nike and Riccardo Tisci Announce Collaboration

We thought 2013 was a huge year for Riccardo Tisci—what with his CFDA International Award, the Met Gala, and his costumes for the Opera Garnier. But ‘14 is shaping up to be just as big. The Givenchy designer has exclusively revealed to Style.com that he has collaborated with Nike. The fruits of the partnership, which will bear the logo NIKE RT, will arrive in stores and on Nike.com this Spring. “For me, Nike represents a lot: my childhood, America,” Tisci said. “In Europe, America is the flag, McDonald’s, Marlboro, and Nike, for a kid it’s very important.” The respect goes both ways. “We were impressed by his vision,” Ian Ginoza, Nike’s Global Footwear Director, said. “I personally wear some of the t-shirts; that’s something that Riccardo does well, blurring the lines with street fashion.”

Neither Tisci nor Nike went into detail about the categories represented in the collaboration, but it’s safe to say that footwear will be a major part of it. Tisci has worn the same style of Nikes for 16 years. “When I got the call, it sounded so strong, so perfect for my DNA. It’s a big honor for me, especially because they’re always working with sports people,” he continued. Nike has partnered with the likes of the industrial designer Mark Newsom, the artist Tom Sachs, and (infamously) Kanye West, but it rarely collaborates with fashion designers. “I couldn’t bring them technology, instead I brought my style, what people like me for and what the young generation follows me for,” Tisci added. So what does it all look like? “It’s strong without being loud,” Tisci promised. This video portrait of the designer (below) may provide some more clues.

The Nike R.T. Air Force 1 Collection will release in two distinct packs starting in spring 2014. The collection will include the Nike R.T. Air Force 1 Lo, Nike R.T. Air Force 1 Mid, Nike R.T. Air Force 1 Hi, and the Nike R.T. Air Force 1 Boot and be available globally at select retailers and on Nikelab.com. All styles will be available in white from March 1, and in black from April 1.
 
brace yourselves for WDYWT posts consisting of af1 high boots, givenchy birds of paradise leggings, pyrex flannel around the waist,HBA tee, been trill snapback.
 
wonder how the black turn out to be? i think those AF1 low up there is pretty decent, i'm gonna buy anyway just to see quality from top notch designer
 
I'm all the way in Cali and my best guess is these are going to drop at DSM, I can't believe how shafted we get out here in Cali! I really want those AF1s!
 
Still nothing new except that Rihanna wore them a couple days ago, which might make them a little harder to get.
