Nike is expanding its classic basketball lineup with the upcoming Air Force 1 Low “Air Soul.” The release pays direct tribute to the iconic silhouette’s lineage through metatextual graphics and archival details.

The design makes an immediate visual statement with its sleek black patent leather exterior offset by fuzzy, oversized laces. Beyond the distinct material choices, the shoe incorporates deep historical references printed across the insoles and tongue tabs.

Specific call-outs honor the “Original Six”—the first half-dozen basketball athletes who originally introduced the sneaker to the hardwood—alongside “4190,” a direct reference to the original High model’s product code. Branding touches declaring the shoe an “all-time-favorite” round out the homage.

The Nike Air Force 1 “Air Soul” is scheduled to release during the Fall/Winter 2026 season.
