NIGO and Nike already completed phase one of their long-awaited collaboration. With phase two coming up, the pair is going beast mode on their latest Air Force 3 sneakers.

Following leaks in September, NIGO and Nike have officially revealed their latest Air Force 3 sneaker, a hairy "Baroque Brown" pair that plays on a Planet of the Apes theme.

Sounds about right. NIGO is a well-known fan of the film, said to possess one of the biggest collections of film artifacts. The movie even inspired his former streetwear brand, BAPE.

NIGO's Nike Air Force 3 sneaker embraces earthy tones for the latest spin, joined by jungle graphics and hairy details nodding to the film.

The furry Air Force sneaker is even more detailed than the previous pairs, boasting additional luxurious embossed overlays, velvety smooth Swooshes, and an incredibly plush lining.

Similar to the debut shoes, the newest Nike Air Force 3 sneakers come with new "I" and "G" letter patches. For those lucky enough to cop the first pairs and these, you should be able to spell out NIGO's name at this point.

Another "Brown/Crimson" Air Force 3 surfaced alongside the "Baroque Brown" versions during the fall. However, Nike has only shown the "Baroque Brown" pairs for the upcoming release.

But who knows? We got two sneakers last time. Maybe we will this time, too. Maybe.

Regardless, the new Nike Air Force 3 sneakers were originally believed to be releasing next year. But, Christmas came early. The collaboration is now scheduled to drop on December 19 through Nike's SNKRS app.

NIGO and Nike's promo for the shoes featured NIGO and simian action figures, which will apparently be sold separately.

A NIGO toy and Air Force 3 sneakers? This collaboration is the gift that keeps on giving for diehard fans.
