2025 may not be a significant milestone year or special anniversary for the Nike Air Force 1 Low, but Nike has made sure to prepare plenty of special releases for this die-hard silhouette. Whether it’s been collaborations with Comme des Garçons or tributes to Kobe, there have been plenty of pairs that have made sneakerheads want to empty their wallets. Here are the best of the bunch for 2025.
Comme des Garçons BLACK x Nike Air Force 1 Low

COMME des GARÇONS transformed the Air Force 1 Low with just a few simple details. The premium tumbled leather sneakers feature abstract typography that perfectly speaks to CDG’s minimalist, avant-garde style. The brand also added its stamp of approval on both the insole and medial ankle, so we won’t easily forget who’s responsible for this beauty.
Nike Air Force 1 Low “All-Star”

Nike loves to celebrate NBA All-Star Weekend with a pair of silver shoes, and 2025 was the Air Force 1 Low’s year to shine. The sneaker has metallic silver panels on the hindfoot and a silver star-shaped charm attached to the laces. But the Swoosh Label also added reflective silver patterns on the forefoot that are only visible in low light.
Nike Air Force 1 Low “Desert Khaki”

Nike designed the perfect pair of sneakers for the faux outdoorsmen. The upper is primarily suede, with midfoot pieces made of durable ripstop fabric. While they may not hold up on an actual hike, they will help you fit in with the gorpcore craze that has taken over city streets.
Nike Air Force 1 Low “Linen”

Nike’s popular “Linen” Air Force 1 low colourway made a comeback in 2025, but this time in canvas form. The signature tan and pink colours stay unchanged, but the switch from leather to canvas gives the shoe a look more fitting of its name.
Drake x Nike NOCTA Air Force 1 Low “Pink Foam”

Drake and Nike introduced more colourways to their “Love You Forever” NOCTA x Air Force 1 Low collection this year, but the “Pink Foam” colourway is one of the best. Sure, it has the exact same details as all the others, but the Premium “Pink Foam” leather just looks extra lush.
Nike Air Force 1 Low “Mushroom”

Nike’s “Mushroom” Air Force 1 Low was one of the surprising hits of 2025. From fungi-inspired embroidery and lace charms to a host of different textures and fabrics on the upper, this sneaker is a trippy delight.
Nike Air Force 1 “Dirty” Pack

A shoe that gets cleaner with wear? We’ll take two! Thankfully, the Swoosh Labels “Dirty” AF1 sneakers arrived in both the classic triple black and triple white colourways this May. Sure, it’s just a painted illusion, but it’s still a pretty impressive trick.
Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 “Lucky Green”

Lil Yachty delivered one of the shiniest AF1 sneakers we’ve seen since the 2000s. The glossed-up exterior and Rastafari-inspired colour scheme are certainly on the bolder side of the spectrum, but that’s all part of the charm.
Supreme x GOODENOUGH x Nike Air Force 1

Hiroshi Fujiwara’s GOODENOUGH brand made a major comeback through a three-way partnership with Supreme and Nike. The trio offered a subtle elevation of the ’80s model, but with details “SUPREMENOUGH” to make them an instant cop for many fans.
Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro “Soft Yellow”

This buttery yellow AF1 design takes fans back to the moment when an injured Bryant showed up to a Lakers practice session in flannel pyjamas. It includes flannel laces, a special “8” overlay on the back as a nod to Kobe’s jersey number, but most importantly, it adds performance upgrades like drop-in ReactX foam and encapsulated Air cushioning to sweeten the deal. This is how to create a sneaker tribute.
A Ma Maniére x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Every Summer Tells a Story”

Nike and A Ma Maniére’s latest Air Force 1 design is a simple yet elegant tribute to the Bruce Kilgore-designed model and its role in Black culture. The shoe keeps the classic all-white look we know and love while adding premium materials, double-layered Swooshes, plush inners, translucent outsoles, and AMM branding to make it feel that much more special.
Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black/University Blue”

This “Black/University Blue” colourway switches things up from the typical AF1 look, and it’s not just the matte black suede uppers. The Nike check on the medial side is completely removed and replaced instead by a mini embroidered Swoosh. It’s a “small” change that makes a big difference.
Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 “Court Purple”

There are plenty more Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 colourways to come this year, including this full-on “Court Purple” version. This sneaker pays respect to Kobe’s time with the Lakers by sporting an all-purple upper composed of plush snakeskin fabric. It’s a look you either love or hate, but we happen to really like it.
Sushi Club x Nike Air Force 1 Low

Nike and Sushi Club are teaming up again, but this time on a release for the masses. The duo first linked to celebrate Nobu’s 30th anniversary in 2024, but this year’s design is sure to be something extra special. Watch this spot.
Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro “Lenticular”

If you’re only going to be shopping for one Kobe x Nike Air Force 1 Low this holiday 2025 season, it’s got to be these. This design has an iridescent, snakeskin material throughout the upper, plus a semi-translucent outsole that channels Kobe’s Mamba Mentality. And they’re just beautiful, full stop.
