South Korean designer Hyein Seo isn’t here to play—it’s full-on tactical takeover with her Nike Ava Rover collab. Known for her dark, utilitarian style, Seo brings her dystopian dreams to life in sneaker form.
The Hyein Seo Ava Rover arrives dressed in Sequoia, Black, and Cargo Khaki—basically, the footwear version of “I’m in a sci-fi movie and ready for action.” The engineered textile upper keeps things sleek, while the ReactX midsole and aggressive outsole scream “function meets fashion.” Oh, and that TPU mudguard? Just in case you were planning to stroll through an urban jungle.
This sneaker pulls heavy inspiration from Nike’s ISPA and ACG lines, but with that extra flair only Seo could deliver. It’s gorpcore, but make it high fashion. Honestly, if Mad Max needed sneakers, this would be it.
Hyein Seo Ava Rover Release Date
The Hyein Seo x Nike Ava Rover is set to launch in June 2025. Expect it on SNKRS, Hyein Seo’s site, and select Nike retailers. Retail price? A very reasonable $145 USD—for a ticket to post-apocalyptic cool.
In short: lace up, gear up, and flex like the stylish survivalist you were meant to be.
