Matt Varga Updated July 9th, 2025: RSVP Gallery has announced a “Never Forget The Neon Lights” sweepstakes event to celebrate the launch of their Glo in the Dark collection on Friday, July 11th. Enter for a chance to win a pair of the 10th Anniversary Air Force 1s HERE.
More than just a retail space or clothing brand, Chicago’s RSVP Gallery represents two of the Windy City’s most totemic modern sons and two hallowed figures in Beaverton: Don C and the late Virgil Abloh. Though shifting from their original location to semi-permanent pop-up status, the brand is still going strong all the same, ringing in 15 years of operation in 2024. As part of a year-long celebration for that milestone, the imprint just shared teaser shots of an RSVP Gallery x Nike Air Force 1 spearheaded by Don C.
Those active in this space for several years may get a sense of deja vu, and it’d be well-founded if so: this appears to be a one-to-one replication of the pair minted for the store’s 10th anniversary. Though a quick glance would indicate that this is a simple injection of glow-in-the-dark flair and the neon green hallmarks that have followed RSVP Gallery throughout its life, there’s some key compositional changes at play.

Indeed, this Air Force 1 sports the arrow-shaped upper lace overlay of the Air Force 3 and similarly borrows the triangular panel from the Air Force 3 on the medial side. All told, this initial teaser angle seems to indicate that the most significant potential change for this shoe is currently hidden, as it’d only be natural to swapping the branding at the heel to instead reflect “RSVP 15.”
While retail pricing is currently unknown, RSVP Gallery and Don C promise this Air Force 1 High will release on July 11th, 2025. Check out the teaser short in full via the embedded link below.
