In an inspiring moment for women in streetwear, Makeway, the Toronto-based, female-led boutique founded by Shelby Weaver and Abby Albino in 2020, has unveiled its first collaboration with Nike: the Nike “Party 6000.” This limited-edition P-6000 model takes inspiration from the boutique’s community-driven event series of the same name and marks a major milestone as North America's first female-focused streetwear collaboration with Nike.
An Homage to Makeway's Unique Vision
The “Party 6000” draws design cues from the vintage tech runner, rooted in Makeway’s core aesthetic and community spirit. The shoe’s color palette—a creamy foundation accented with baby blue and orange—reflects the inviting, playful vibe Makeway is known for. Fans of the brand might also notice a subtle connection to some of Makeway’s earlier collaborative pieces with the WNBA. On this sneaker, the P-6000’s usual branding near the heel is replaced with the “Party 6000” moniker, highlighting the connection to Makeway’s signature events.
A Thoughtful Packaging Experience
True to Makeway’s attention to detail, the packaging is as special as the sneaker itself. The shoebox features an illustration inspired by the store’s interior, with a sky-blue lid and paper inserts depicting cloudy skies, giving the unboxing a personalized touch that reinforces the boutique’s aesthetic.
Nike’s First Collab on the P-6000
This release also signifies Nike’s first collaborative spin on the P-6000, a tech-runner style that had previously flown under the radar within Nike’s catalog. The collaboration with Makeway could be a sign of renewed energy for the silhouette, potentially pointing to more upcoming P-6000 designs and collaborations as we move into 2025.
Release Details
The Nike x Makeway P-6000 “Party 6000” drops first at Makeway on November 20th, followed by a wider release on Nike SNKRS on November 22nd. With a retail price of $110, this collab is poised to make waves as a significant release this season.
