Jae Tips x Nike Air Bakin' Low Releasing Spring 2027
Jae Tips is bringing his SAVIOR design ethos to Nike for the first time with a Spring 2027 collaboration centered on the newly unveiled Air Bakin' Low. The Bronx-based creative's move to the Swoosh marks a significant shift after revitalizing Saucony's image among younger sneaker audiences—and the brand appears positioned to tap his expertise across multiple eras of its basketball archive.

The Air Bakin' Low itself represents Nike's recalibration of a dormant silhouette, drawing architectural cues from early-2000s outdoor basketball aesthetics and the bold colorway blocking that defined the ACG line throughout the '90s. Unveiled officially at Paris Fashion Week earlier this year, the model arrived in two launch iterations that signal Nike's renewed interest in retooling heritage hoops shapes rather than chasing contemporary trends.
Tips' involvement traces back to his recent work at Saucony, where his vibrant storytelling and layered color palettes established a template for reaching sneaker culture's younger demographic. Nike's recruitment of the designer follows a clear strategic logic: grant him access to the brand's deeper archive while positioning him as a potential custodian of franchises like the Air Foamposite One and other late-'90s/early-2000s icons that maintain reverence within uptown basketball circles.
The two Air Bakin' Low colorways lean into Jae Tips' signature maximalist approach. The first combines Cobalt Bliss, Chile Red, Varsity Maize, Atlantic Blue, and Pine Green across the upper, while a secondary option swaps warmer tones for Blue Beyond, Purple Stardust, and Arctic Pink alongside black and forest green. Both are rooted in multi-tonal compositions that reject restraint—a deliberate signal that this isn't a designer collaboration built around muted subtlety.
