Vaquera And Nike Are Launching Their Reinterpretation Of The Air Max Dn8

Nike are partnering with Vaquera to reinterpret their Air Max Dn8, the brand’s latest advancement in Dynamic Air technology, launched on December 8th.

“Romance is a major brand code at Vaquera," says Patric DiCaprio, co-founder, Vaquera. "We covered the Dn8 with kiss marks. The effect is something playful and romantic while maintaining Nike’s high standard of functionality.”

This collaboration reflect Vaquera’s dedication to blurring the line between homage and parody, satire and sincerity through what Bryn and Patric describe as “fashion fan fiction.”

From viral pillow dresses to support from Dover Street Market’s brand development arm in Paris, Vaquera has evolved from a series of blog-era experiments into a cult fixture on the Paris Fashion Week calendar. Balancing playfulness with social commentary, the brand thrives on contradiction, carving out a space where fashion becomes both a critique of itself and a celebration of its possibilities.

The Nike x Vaquera Air Max Dn8 is now available on vaquera.nyc and Dover Street Market, on nike.com, SNKRS and select retailers.
