Collaborative Side-Laced Sneakers

Nike and sacai Joins Forces with the Magmascape Sneaker

— November 22, 2023 — Fashion
Nike continues to work in collaboration with sacai and the latest arrives in the form of the Magmascape sneaker model. It merges elements that are borrowed from the Nike Air Magma and its Air Footscape sneaker. It rests on top of the Footscape's traditional side lace system for security.

Overall, the shape is inspired by the structure of the Magma with a slightly reworked touch by sacai. The upper is made from a blend of mesh and suede materials for a breathable and contrasting look. Co-branding can be seen on the tongue section over the forefoot, which is made from a premium leather touch. The double details true to sacai can be seen in the form of two shoelaces and a doubled base.
