Nike is really pushing for collaborations on their Air Max Dn8 model, a shoe introduced back in March for Air Max Day. This week, the label Vaquera has unveiled their version of the silhouette, sporting bold red lipstick prints.

Vaquera is an NYC-based ready-to-wear brand founded in 2013 by Patric DiCaprio and Bryn Taubensee. The label blends “fashion fan fiction” aesthetics with DIY energy and theatrical flair through oversized proportions, mixed references from pop culture, and reinterpreted luxury tropes. Vaquera became known for its avant-garde collections, camp and grunge elements, gender-fluid designs, and playful details like mascot teddy bears and graphic accessories.

Vaquera is the latest brand to get a collaboration from Nike, highlighting the Air Max Dn8. The Swoosh appears to be really pushing this shoe for collabs, with projects from Cav Empt, Patta, Better Gift Shop, and more arriving over the last few months. Vaquera brings their signature style to the silhouette, beginning by dousing the runner in an all-white color palette. The shoe’s mesh underlay has been replaced by smooth leather, with glossy patent overlays for the toes and lacing system. On top of that, they’ve given the shoe a print pattern of bright red lipstick marks, with red Swooshes and clear Air bubbles to complete the look.
