The Wale x Nike Air Max Goadome collaboration brings new energy to a silhouette that already holds a deep place in DMV culture. The Air Max Goadome has long been a staple across Washington D.C. It’s also known for its rugged build and its blend of workwear toughness and street style.
The boot uses a premium construction that takes the Goadome into luxury territory. Wale tapped creative director Pierre Edwards to help shape the look. As a result, this pair leans into rich textures and personal details tied to his brand and story.
Projects like this don’t just highlight an artist’s influence. They show how strong a cultural imprint can be when a community and a creator move in sync. The images above show the textured black upper, the blue crescent logo, and the embossed EIA branding. Furthermore, the dark Air Max unit anchors the design.
Wale x Nike Goadome
The Wale x Nike Air Max Goadome features a black upper with a bold croc texture that instantly stands out. Also the panels feel thick and structured, giving the boot a heavy, premium look.
Further a small blue crescent logo pops on the side and ties back to Wale’s Every Blue Moon brand. The EIA tag sits near the collar with a clean embossed finish.
The midsole uses a dark Air Max unit that blends perfectly with the upper. The boot keeps the classic Goadome shape but adds upgrades that push it into collector territory.
