A Nostalgic Collaboration
Seoul's iconic select shop, TUNE (@tune.kr), has announced a collaboration with the renowned sportswear brand Nike, introducing a unique version of the classic
Air Force 1 made from durable canvas material (CVS). This limited-edition sneaker is set to make its debut in May 2026, aimed at evoking nostalgia for those who fondly remember the vibrant street culture of 1990s Seoul.
The theme of this collaboration, "
Wardrobe Unlocked," pays tribute to the Air Force 1 CVS, celebrating the colorful essence of the era. It draws parallels with the hidden treasures found in old wardrobes and the forgotten vintage items tucked away in shop corners. For many, this design prompts a recall of their cherished 90s memories, while for newer generations, it serves as a bridge to the past, presenting heritage in a contemporary light. TUNE and Nike hope that this model will resonate with both demographics, delivering a fresh perspective and excitement.
Crafted with a heavy wax-coated canvas, this sneaker allows wearers to appreciate aging naturally. The design encourages the shoe to adapt to the wearer’s habits and evolve over time. As they stroll through life, these kicks develop a unique character, reflecting personal stories and experiences. This distinct feature makes each pair unparalleled, with the aging process embraced rather than avoided.
Only available for purchase in Japan at
Frame Gallery Tokyo, a venue operated by thisisneverthat, and on SNKRS, the collaboration is expected to attract sneaker enthusiasts and fans of 90s fashion alike.
