While always a top seller, there’s no denying the Air Force 1 has found new life in 2026, headlined by the return of the ’01 cut, special editions tied to the New York Knicks’ championship run, and plenty of collabs and inline styles playing on nostalgia from the model’s best era in the 2000s. With Air Force 1 Day approaching on 8/2 (for the model’s debut year in 1982), Nike is proclaiming its legendary status with a flashy new LX edition dubbed the “Icon,” shown here via official images.
Nike’s official color specs reveal a slimy palette of “Green Apple/Chlorophyll/Green Apple,” anchored by a shiny leather foundation and semi-opaque midsoles. Ostrich skin leather makes an immediate premium statement on the Swoosh and backtab, bolstered by bronze metal eyelets and a matching lace dubrae with an antique, chipped-away finish, a throughline to the model’s 44-year legacy. The “Icon” name presents itself on the lateral side of the heel, Nike drawing from the model’s famous outsole to form the middle two letters. One last special touch lands on the insoles, featuring a green X-ray graphic of the shoe with dangling laces.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low LX “Icon” doesn’t have a concrete release date yet, but all signs point to a drop on or around AF1 Day on August 2nd. See official images below and stay tuned for further updates.
