Nike MMW

Launched in 2018, the collaboration between Nike and Matthew M. Williams (founder of 1017 ALYX 9SM) fused Nike’s performance innovation with Williams’s industrial, utilitarian design language. Known for his focus on advanced materials and modular construction, Williams redefined sportswear with a futuristic and functional aesthetic.
Among the most iconic releases, the Nike x MMW Free TR 3 trainer with detachable Vibram outsoles became an instant collector’s item, while the Nike Zoom 004, the MMW Slide, and a series of technical apparel capsules further established the collaboration’s influence. Each piece blended technical precision, avant-garde style, and performance-driven functionality, making them highly sought-after in the secondary market.
Nike x MMW stood out for its focus on training gear, technical layering, and experimental footwear, often featuring bold silhouettes, heat-map graphics, and modular details. These designs bridged the gap between performance equipment and high-fashion statement, positioning the line as one of the most forward-thinking Nike collaborations of the late 2010s and 2020s.
Today, Nike x MMW archive sneakers and apparel are among the most coveted pieces for collectors. From the radical Free TR 3 to the sculptural Zoom 004, the collaboration represents rarity, cultural relevance, and the fusion of utility with progressive design.
