Yankee fitteds, pizza slices, “Wheat” Timberlands. Certainly, the scourge of “deadass”-laden memes in the past few years has made that trio a bit tired in the grand scheme of things, but they became inescapable for a reason, true icons of the Big Apple that speak to its trademark grit.

So much so, Nike has taken the aforementioned all-beige for a run on its own accord, trotting out the Air Jordan 1 and Air Force 1 among a stable of Swoosh staples to wear the autumnal colorway in the last decade. For its latest application, Nike goes straight to the source, unveiling not only a “Flax” variation of the Nike Air Force 1 Mid but one with “NYC” branding through. Then ode to the City That Never Sleeps appears proudest on the heel, but additionally drapes the collar strap and insoles, ensuring you don’t lose sight of who exactly made this aesthetic a dominant one.

It’s unclear when exactly the Nike Air Force 1 Mid “NYC” will hit shelves, but expect these to be ready for the Fall/Winter 2025 season. Catch official images below and keep our coverage close by to know when this pair becomes available.
