What’s more classic than the Nike Air Force 1? Bruce Kilgore’s design has been flipped into more differing aesthetics than we could possibly recount, yet some of the most narratively cohesive are when it leans into the timeless atmosphere it continues to champion.

For two colorways that’ve just surfaced, the Nike Air Force 1 Low reaches beyond its ’80s introduction, returning with new vintage Americana script for new Nike brands at the heel. While it’s the most eye-catching detail, it’s not the only change for this novel build of the AF1, as chunky embroidery outlines the Swooshes while the interior of that mark shifts into a woven composition. To round out, tumbled leather defines the overlays, leaning into neutral tonality in both the “Cool Grey/Team Crimson” and “Black/Dark Smoke” colorways shown here.

Either pair in this Nike Air Force 1 Low “pack” should be populating Nike.com and partnering retailers in short order. If one or both have caught your eye, be ready for $125 sticker prices upon release.
