“Quiet luxury” may not be the buzzword it once was, but no one has told the Swoosh. The Nike Air Force 1 Low is now the latest model to go branding-light, issuing a “Vachetta Tan” pair in the coming months.

Draped in an all-over dose of that titular beige, this shoe’s central cue is one you can spot immediately at the top of the article: no Nike Air emblem on the back. Interestingly, the other usual spots that tie back to Beaverton remain intact, from the embroidered tongue tag, to the mini Swoosh at the tip of the lact unit, to the rubber “AIR” text in the midsole.

Given the series’ impending return, it’s hard not to think of the Swooshless Jordan 1 Low in this context, similarly rebranding a staple shoe with this omission-centric colorway. It’s tough to make out real material quality from pictures along, but if this is intended to be the Air Force 1’s answer to that shoe, some premium touches could be in order.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Vachetta” is likely to drop before the end of 2025 or as we kick off 2026. No retail pricing has been announced just yet, but don’t rule out a slight premium on the AF1’s usual sticker price.
