About the release

Carhartt WIP and Nike are officially back together. The Fall / Winter 2026 Nike x Carhartt collection arrives eight years after their debut 2018 collaboration (NSW silhouettes including the AF1, Air Max 95 and Vandal) and lands as a proper strength-on-strength project. The footwear centrepiece: three colourways of the Air Max Goadome Low WIP (£174 each), plus a full apparel capsule built around a Windrunner Active Jacket / Windrunner Drewe Trouser hybrid pair and everyday staples.

Two-stage release. The Carhartt WIP pre-launch opens Thursday 12 November 2026 through Carhartt WIP stores, carhartt-wip.com and the Carhartt WIP app — this window includes the Carhartt WIP-exclusive Cypress / Black colourway. The global SNKRS release follows on Friday 20 November 2026 via the Nike SNKRS App and select retailers, covering the other two Goadome colourways (Black / Cypress and WIP H Brown / Cypress). All three carry the same £174 UK retail. The collab timing matters: Nike has quietly been pushing the Goadome back into the mainstream throughout 2025-26, with the 2025 relaunch, the 'Pony Hair' pack, the Taller De Rafa collab from the Bronx, and various Croc / Foamdome spin-offs all keeping momentum high. Carhartt WIP getting the next proper collaborative execution lands at the perfect moment in the Nike boot revival cycle.

Release dates and pricing

The Carhartt WIP pre-launch opens Thursday 12 November 2026 through Carhartt WIP stores, carhartt-wip.com and the Carhartt WIP app — this is the first allocation of the entire collection and the only route to the Cypress / Black Carhartt WIP-exclusive colourway. The global SNKRS release follows a week later on Friday 20 November 2026 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers (Sneaker Politics confirmed in the US, with UK stockists TBC). All three Goadome Low WIP colourways carry the same £174 UK retail ($190 US).

For UK buyers, the 12 November Carhartt WIP window is the moment to act — it's the only route to the exclusive Cypress / Black pair and the full apparel capsule, and Carhartt WIP's own retail infrastructure usually clears collab allocations faster than Nike SNKRS raffle throughput. The 20 November SNKRS drop is your second chance on the two non-exclusive colourways. Expect strong trade-through on all three — Carhartt WIP collabs have reliably moved well above retail on secondary market since the 2018 debut, and the Goadome specifically is riding one of Nike's biggest silhouette revival cycles in years.

Design and details

The Goadome Low WIP takes Nike's recent low-profile Goadome platform and applies Carhartt WIP's full material and detail language. Rather than a straight colour-swap collab, this is a reconstructive execution — new material layering, new hardware detailing, new side-panel treatment inspired by the archival Nike Half Dome. Carhartt WIP has done the actual design work here, not just the branding.

The Half Dome-inspired side panel

The headline hardware change on all three colourways. Each Goadome Low WIP features a new fabric window on the side of the shoe, inspired by the archival Nike Half Dome construction. Pinstriped fabrics interrupt the standard materiality of the silhouette, giving the pair a distinct Carhartt-cued workwear detail that reads instantly at a glance. It's the single most visually distinctive design change on the pair and the detail that elevates this above a straight material-swap collab.

Three colourways — materials and the Carhartt exclusive

The three pairs run deliberately different material palettes. Black / Cypress (IW6306-001) is the straight leather execution — black upper with sequoia green accent detailing. Cypress / Black (IW6306-200) is the inverted Carhartt WIP-exclusive — same leather build but with the colour balance flipped, olive leather handling the main upper with black handling the trim and accents. The WIP H Brown / Cypress (IW6306-300) is the material standout, closing out the capsule by swapping to nubuck suede for a 'Wheat' style upper that reads closer to a traditional work boot than a performance silhouette. Across all three: metallic Swoosh detailing and metallic eyelets bring a refined contrast against the rugged construction, with Carhartt WIP branding on the foxing finishing the co-branded detail story. Swoosh / WIP stamp on the tongue, Carhartt WIP fabric tag below the collar.

The apparel: Windrunner-meets-Active-Jacket hybrids

The apparel capsule is where the collab's design logic becomes most explicit. The Windrunner Active Jacket anchors the collection — a genuine hybrid that fuses Nike Windrunner construction details (sportswear-inspired mesh lining, contrasting chevron chest detailing, toggle fastenings) with Carhartt WIP's Active Jacket (stone-washed Dearborn Canvas base, kangaroo pocket, triple-stitched details). The Windrunner Drewe Trouser (£140) applies the same hybrid logic to bottoms — Carhartt WIP's relaxed-fit Drewe Pant with Double Knee Pant elements (reinforced double-layer knees, hammer loop, tool pockets) and knee panels angled at 26-degrees to echo the Windrunner's signature chevron. Elsewhere: a heavyweight brushed cotton hoodie, a graphic T-shirt (£45), a cotton waffle long-sleeve, and a stretch-cotton beanie. Select pieces are pigment-dyed for a lived-in finish and tonal variation.

Carhartt WIP x Nike — the full partnership history

Nike and Carhartt first collided in 2004 — though without any actual input from the workwear brand itself. The Nike Dunk Low 'Carhartt', dropped in two canvas executions, was assigned the brand's name as an unofficial title only. The two brands would also link up for an ultra-limited Air Jordan 4 released as a friends-and-family exclusive under the standard Carhartt label, but neither was a formally structured collaboration.

The first proper public Carhartt WIP x Nike release arrived in 2018, with Carhartt WIP applying its workwear ethos to a range of Nike NSW silhouettes (the AF1, Air Max 95 and Vandal) through bolstered materials, pulltabs and compositional adjustments. That capsule moved aggressively at retail and still holds strong on secondary market. Eight years later, this 2026 Air Max Goadome Low WIP collection is the second proper release — and arguably the first where both brands are operating at full strength simultaneously. Nike's boot programme is bigger than it's been in a decade; Carhartt WIP's design output has evolved significantly since 2018. The collab lands as a proper strength-on-strength project rather than a nostalgia revisit, and timed exactly to Nike's broader Goadome push, this one has a real shot at being one of the standout FW26 collabs across the whole market.
