Aritzia, the Vancouver based fashion house, has unveiled the latest chapter in its ongoing partnership with Nike, introducing the Nike LD 1000 EDITION A in a new “Sesame” colorway. Released on March 2, 2026, through the Nike app, and on March 3 through Aritzia’s online and retail stores, the drop builds on the overwhelming success of the duo’s debut collaboration and proves that this partnership has well and truly found its audience.
How It All Started: A Sell Out That Forced a Restock
The Aritzia x Nike story began on October 30, 2025, when the two brands launched their first ever collaboration on the LD 1000 silhouette in a rich “Fauna Brown” colorway at $125. The shoe debuted exclusively through the Aritzia app, a deliberate move to reward the brand’s most loyal shoppers with early access, and sold out the same day it launched. Demand was strong enough that Aritzia…
went back and restocked the silhouette, this time at the adjusted retail price of $165, reflecting the shoe’s proven market value. The original “Fauna Brown” edition featured a weathered brown leather upper, a debossed and relocated Nike Swoosh, and a limited edition four leaf clover charm exclusive to Aritzia purchases.
Spring Ready Neutrals and Limited Drops The Sesame edition (SKU IQ9609‑113) pairs a coconut milk upper with gum light brown and sail accents, retailing at $165 and releasing first on the Aritzia app on March 2, 2026, followed by March 3 on aritzia.com and in selected stores.
The Rich Mocha Brown and Sesame shades are both trendy and timeless, calling them versatile neutrals that can anchor spring outfits and carry into other seasons.
The collaboration remains exclusive to Aritzia, with certain sizes also appearing on Nike.com at around $140 to $165, and releases are structured as limited drops, driving quick sell outs and active waitlists on previous colourways…
