Vaquera Stamps Kisses on the Nike Air Max DN8

Vaquera has taken its concept of “showing love” to the next level with its collaboration with Nike. The New York–born, Paris-based label has reimagined the Air Max DN8 with a red lipstick kiss print on a white base. The model made its debut at the Spring/Summer 2026 runway show in Paris.

This project follows Vaquera’s consistent approach of leaving its mark on every collaboration. In 2024, the brand presented its first in-house footwear in partnership with Philéo, a cowboy boot and a low-heeled pump, both made of leather. A year later, Vaquera reinterpreted the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66, featuring the words “LOVE” and “RAGE” embroidered on the tongues.

Although no official release date has been confirmed, Vaquera has teased on Instagram that the Vaquera x Nike Air Max DN8 will be “coming soon.”
