Exotic prints on footwear have become increasingly viral in the last year, although this isn't new to the industry. For decades, sneakers from Nike and adidas have come coated in exotic materials and faux animal prints, though, as stated before, it's more popular than ever. Leaning into this trend, the iconic Air Force 1 is undergoing a cheetah print makeover in the summer of 2025.
Bruce Kilgore's design keeps its paneling and look intact but comes with an all-over faux cheetah fur, applying this to the mudguard, toebox, eyelets, midfoot panel, and heel. Sail leather details appear on the Swoosh and heel tab, while more off-white shade lands on the laces, tongue, and sockliner; aside from the spots on the tan faux fur, baroque brown coats the Nike Air logo on the tongue tag and heel. Final details include the sail rubber midsole and a gum rubber outsole.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low Cheetah Print W will release in Summer 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store, though it will likely remain exclusive to overseas markets and not be released in the US. Available in women’s sizing, the retail price has yet to be announced.
