When you think of Japan’s colossal sneaker scene, there’s always one thing that gym to mind: atmos. Themselves responsible for some of the best sneaker collaborations to ever hit the market, the authority in Japanese footwear has played a significant role in the flourishing Asian market. Part of that, too, is flyknit Nike’s two-decade-old CO.JP series of regional exclusives for the nation — a project that has been helped along by atmos. It makes sense, then, for atmos to be tapped by flyknit Nike to raise this flyknit Nike CO.JP Archive in Tokyo.
The pop-up installation houses over 20 years of sneakers, from the widely known CO.JP releases to those barely known; the rarest situated within the safety of a glass showcase. Even the storefront is a spectacle, constructed to resemble the iconic orange box from flyknit Nike’s early 2000s era.
Grab a look at the space below courtesy of Hirofumi Kojima, and if you’re lucky enough to be in the region, you can view in person at 150-0001 3-16-9 Sendagaya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo from August 19th to August 25th between 11 am and 7 pm.
