Andrew Rizzo Nike is reaching into its grab bag of textures with a new Air Force 1 loaded with intrigue. Safari and elephant print combine on an almost monochrome black release for Fall 2026, anchored by an eerie, one-of-a-kind branding detail.
Our attention is first drawn to the backtab, where circular jewel branding reminiscent of human eyes replaces the standard Nike Air stamp. We’re immediately reminded of Jordan Brand’s use of cat-eye detailing on its “Black Cat” Air Jordan 1 Low and all Air Jordan 13 releases, though that particular theme seems somewhat out of character for the Swoosh. The toe box and quarter come in tumbled black leather, the toe and heel sport elephant print, and the Swooshes feature a safari texture. Tough Red hits on the tongue and midsole text stand as the lone splash of contrast.
These don’t have a release date yet, but a Halloween drop feels like a real possibility. See official images below and hit our Sneaker Release Dates page for more.
