Nike’s Premium Air Force 1 Push Continues With “Dark Sky Blue”

The blank backtab makes its return.

Nike’s Premium Air Force 1 Push Continues With “Dark Sky Blue”

Nike continues to pour out premium Air Force 1s with minimal branding, here delivering a hazy “Dark Sky Blue” option for Spring 2026.

Like multiple styles before it, the sneaker arrives with a blank backtab and lace dubrae, stripping back some of the model’s defining branded elements (not that they were intrusive to begin with). Dark Sky Blue nubuck moves across the upper, complemented by a slightly darker Dark Blue Grey shade on the Swoosh, backtab, and sole unit. Note the Nike LTD logo on the insoles, signaling limited quantities.

The Air Force 1 is in the midst of a promising run, soon set to deliver more patent leather styles reminiscent of the 2000s. Signature hooper releases have been bountiful, and the Nike SB Air Force 1 is expected to debut widely in the near future. This “Dark Sky Blue” colorway doesn’t fall under any of those categories, but it does offer a more premium alternative to your run-of-the-mill GRs.

The Air Force 1 Low “Dark Sky Blue” is due out Spring 2026 for $140 USD, meaning sometime between now and the end of March. See official images below if you’re a fan.
