Black Air Force 1s have always been a staple in Nike’s sneaker collection. Admittedly, they’ve gained a bit of a notorious reputation and even meme fame over the years, but one thing is sure: they’re not going anywhere. Now, with the introduction of the new “Vanta Black” variant, Nike is set to craft its darkest all-black Air Force 1 yet.

What Is The “Vanta Black” Air Force 1?

On the surface, the “Vanta Black” may look like any other all-black Air Force 1, but there’s more than meets the eye. This colourway features a unique light-absorbing coating, offering an exceptionally dark appearance, surpassing that of your traditional black sneakers. It’s a sleek and stealthy upgrade that takes the classic to a new level. 

But it’s not just about the darker appearance. The “Vanta Black” seems to bring a premium shift in materials too. While we await more details to confirm this, it looks like this version could feature an upgrade from the standard leather found on your typical pair of black Air Force 1s. So, if memes have made you avoid the all-black colourway, this new iteration might just win you over. 

Release Details

Currently, there’s no confirmed release date or pricing for this ultra-dark sneaker. However, it’s expected to drop in Holiday 2024. So, stay tuned for updates on when you can snag this beautiful pair. 

While you wait, there are plenty of other stunning Air Force 1 designs to consider, like the new colourways of Drake’s NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 “Love You Forever” collaboration or the playful Nike Air Force 1 ’07 LX “Paw Print”.
