Sneakerheads were treated to a legendary Air Force 1 Low retro when Nike brought back the Linen colorway in 2024. This iconic colorway originated in 2001 as a Japan-exclusive release but wasn’t available in the United States until 2016 when Nike launched the sneaker exclusively through Ronnie Fieg’s Kith. Less than a year after the pair hit shelves in OG fashion, Nike is giving the colorway a material makeover.
Swapping out the premium tumbled leather finish for canvas material, the sneaker retains the same colorblocking as the original. Canvas in a tan hue appears on the toe, mudguard, eyestays, midfoot, and heel, while the pink Swoosh retains its leather construction. White nylon appears on the tongue, matching the white of the sockliner, laces, and Nike Air logo on the heel tab.
Other pink pops appear on the Nike Air text atop the tongue, and the mini Swoosh is embroidered onto the vamp. Other contrasting details are found nearby with a metallic silver AF1-branded lace dubrae. Finishing the sneaker is the white rubber midsole with pink AIR text on the heel and a pink rubber outsole.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low Linen, Linen will release on March 20, 2025, through Nike, SNKRS, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $130.
