Updated May 9th, 2025: The Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 Low is scheduled to release on SNKRS and select retailers globally on May 22nd, 2025.

The below article was originally published on December 31st, 2024.

Following the release of Lil Yachty’s inaugural Nike Air Force 1 collaboration in 2024, we’re continuing to learn more about the Atlanta rapper’s next chapter with the Swoosh. We spilled ink on a “Croc Skin” Air Force 1 just a few weeks ago, and now according to new information posted by sneakermarket.ro, it appears Yachty’s BAPE-inspired AF1 will see a public release.

The shoe first made rounds online in April 2024 around the same time Yachty was out performing at Coachella, although it was largely thought to be a friends and family pair upon surfacing. Aesthetically speaking, Lil Boat actualizes his love for 2000s streetwear with a clear Bapesta vibe, calling in a full patent leather upper and bright “Lucky Green/Mystic Red/University Gold” palette.

In comparison to Yachty’s first “Concrete Boys” Air Force 1, which received its fair share of criticism to its fairly plain design, this BAPE-esque pair is decidedly more aligned with Yachty’s fashion background and personality as a whole. Of course, there’s lots of irony in Nike releasing a BAPE-inspired Air Force 1 given the two brands’ copyright disputes regarding the silhouette over the past two decades.

Solid release information for the upcoming Yachty Air Force 1 is scant at this early stage, but as mentioned, sneakermarket.ro reports a Summer 2025 arrival. Stick with us for all the latest updates, including a retail price and store list over the coming months.
