Carhartt WIP and Nike Reunite on the Air Max Goadome Low

Carhartt WIP and Nike reunite on the Air Max Goadome Low for Fall/Winter 2026, and the first sale runs exclusively through Carhartt WIP on Thursday, November 12. The wider release follows eight days later, on Friday, November 20, on SNKRS and at select retailers. Nike describes the project in two short lines, one about purpose built design and one about making it for everyday life.

Neither line names a shoe. Sneaker News, Hypebeast and Sole Retriever filled that in during October: a three colorway Air Max Goadome Low pack in Light British Tan, Black and Twilight Marsh. Sneaker News called it the Detroit workwear maker's second Nike collaboration and its first since 2018.

November 12 Belongs to Carhartt WIP

Carhartt WIP gets the first week to itself. "Exclusively" means the Thursday, November 12 sale runs through the label, while SNKRS and the retailers that stock Nike wait until Friday, November 20. That is an eight day head start for the partner with the smaller audience, and it is how a workwear label keeps a Nike project feeling like its own.

The Dutch language site Sneakerjagers had listed the Black pair for November 12 before either brand confirmed a date, which matches the Carhartt WIP window. Just Fresh Kicks also reported an early drop at SURPLUS in Sydney from October 16 to 18, a date neither Nike nor Carhartt WIP confirmed, which would put the first pairs on a shelf nearly four weeks before the Carhartt WIP sale. Price is the open item. Sole Retriever, Sneaker News and SneakerFiles all report $190 in unisex sizing, and neither Nike nor Carhartt WIP has confirmed that figure.

Tan Suede, Olive Leather, Rope Laces

The Light British Tan pair is built from tan suede and olive leather, according to Just Fresh Kicks. Sole Retriever reports that the Goadome's boot shape is restructured with softer side panels, SneakerFiles lists rope laces and metal D rings, and Sneaker Bar Detroit notes an open section along the sides with stitching similar to the Nike Tailwind 4.

Read those as a materials list. Suede and leather in tan and olive are the colors of a work boot that has been broken in. D rings are lacing hardware borrowed from the same place. Rope laces are the one detail that sits closer to a hiking shoe than a runner. Black is the safe pair of the three, and Twilight Marsh is the one to watch for color: when Sneaker News first reported the pack on October 15, the Twilight Marsh pair had not yet been seen.

No outlet has published a fabric weight or a full materials list for Black or Twilight Marsh, so treat the suede and leather call as confirmed for the tan pair only.

The Last Time, It Was Duck Canvas

The earlier Nike and Carhartt WIP project, dated 2018 by Sneaker News, covered sneakers that included an Air Force 1 Low in duck canvas, per Sneaker Freaker, and an Air Max 95, per Stadium Goods. Duck canvas is the fabric Carhartt built its name on, so the first project put the label's own cloth on a Nike upper. This one swaps the cloth for suede, leather and rope, which reads as a deliberate step from workwear fabric toward workwear footwear.

It also lands in the middle of a busy Carhartt WIP season. The label has already put out the KINTO Kakomi ceramic pot, on sale in Europe since October 3, the Arizona Jacket in a faux leather shell of 69 percent polyurethane and 31 percent viscose, varsity lettered sweats on October 29 and the women's Hold The Line collection on October 31. A Nike shoe is the season's biggest object, and it arrives after a month of smaller ones.

Nike's Next Ten Days Are Crowded

Nike has a lot on the calendar around this pair. NikeSKIMS puts the Waffle Racer on sale November 10 in women's sizing only, Carhartt WIP follows on November 12, and the Nike SB Air Force 1 City Pack reaches Europe on November 13. Then SNKRS opens the Goadome pack to everyone on November 20.

The Goadome is also having a month outside footwear. Yeat's Fortnite bundle shipped a Goadome on October 27, so the model went from a game item to a workwear collaboration within sixteen days.

Of the dates on that list, November 12 is the only one that hands a partner brand a window before SNKRS opens. Nike has given two dates and two sentences. The price, the three pairs and the materials all still come from the trade.
