Andrew Rizzo Updated July 16th, 2026: The Kith x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Un-Linen” is confirmed to release July 20th, 2026 via Kith in full family sizes. The sneaker inverts the cult classic Air Force 1 “Linen” from 2001 with a nubuck upper, arriving on the re-introduced Air Force 1 ’01 silhouette. Kith previously served as the exclusive retailer for the first “Linen” AF1 retro back in 2016. A matching Air Max 95 will also be available.

Ronnie Fieg is back in the spotlight with what could be a new Nike Air Force 1 Low collaboration, a fresh spin on an iconic colorway the Kith founder helped reintroduce a decade ago.
Here we have a first look at the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Reverse Linen,” an inverted take on the iconic Japan-exclusive “Linen” from 2001. The sneaker saw its first retro in 2016 as a Kith exclusive, coinciding with Art Basel Miami and the grand opening of the Kith Miami flagship. Nike then delivered a large-scale global release in 2024, followed by a “Linen Canvas” version in 2025.
Early images of this new style show a true inverted colorway, the Linen and Atmosphere shades trading places on the base, Swoosh, outsole, and midsole text. The tongue, laces, sock liner, and midsole remain in white.
This headline comes from the set of the Joe & Jada podcast, Ronnie likely speaking from his role as the Knicks’ creative director as the team continues its NBA Championship pursuit. He’s tight with the whole crew, recently hooking well-documented Knicks superfan Fat Joe up with a pair of the Knicks-inspired Kith Air Max 95. The episode has yet to air, but we’re hoping Ronnie sheds some light on when the sneaker might release (and if it’s an official Kith collab or another retailer-exclusive). December 2026 will mark the 10th anniversary of the first “Linen” retro, which feels like the most logical time for a drop…
See detailed images of the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Reverse Linen” below and stay tuned for updates.
