Public School NY x Nike Air Goadome Drops Holiday 2026
Public School NY has confirmed its return to Nike following a near-decade dormancy. The label's first retail collaboration with the Swoosh in years arrives via a hardware-forward reimagining of the Air Goadome, set for Holiday 2026.

A Partnership Rekindled
Public School NY—the design collective helmed by Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne—marks its formal reentry into the Nike ecosystem with a revised take on the Air Goadome. The collaboration represents the first retail offering between the New York–based label and Nike proper since 2018, ending a partnership that had largely gone dormant. While the designers maintained momentum through runway presentations, including a notably strong showing at last season's New York Fashion Week, this Goadome signals a tangible return to sneaker design after years focused primarily on fashion.
The arc of Public School NY and Nike historically ran deeper through Jordan Brand channels. The partnership's foundation rested on a series of Air Jordan 12 modifications and the "City Pack"—projects that established the duo's technical sensibility and appetite for structural intervention. The 2018 Air Force 1 High pack, which leaned into deconstructed language reminiscent of Virgil Abloh's design vocabulary, signaled an evolution toward material manipulation and hardware emphasis. The incoming Goadome extends that through-line.
Design Details
The Goadome modification centers on a deliberate hardware strategy. Public School NY has introduced an oversized metal buckle apparatus anchored to a substantial leather tongue panel—a component that transforms the boot's visual hierarchy and tactile presence. The execution strips away visual noise through a Triple Black colorway, which allows the metalwork and structural additions to command full attention.
This restraint distinguishes the collaboration from trend-driven modification. Rather than layering multiple visual interventions, the design leans on a single, confident addition: the buckled tongue construction. At $230, the retail price sits marginally above the Air Goadome's standard positioning, a measured markup that reflects the bespoke hardware rather than brand tax inflation.
