A quieter, more luxury-minded version of the Air Force 1 is taking shape as Nike looks backward to move forward. The brand’s early-2000s Made in Italy experiments — Lux Highs, Lows, and the 2007 25th Anniversary run — have become reference points again as buyers gravitate toward materials that feel intentional rather than mass-produced. That context matters before the shine of this pair ever does.
Glossy “Black” and “College Grey” patent leather dominates, but the construction is what shifts the conversation. Instead of stacked panels, the toe, sidewall, and heel flow as a single, clean piece, interrupted only by tiny debossed Swooshes and a stitch-free back tab. A subtle croc embossing appears toward the rear, recalling the sought-after 2007 “Crocodile” edition without trying to replicate it, while an all-black leather tongue and toe keep the look disciplined.
At $600, the women’s Air Force 1 Low “Made in Italy” sits well above standard releases yet still below the stratospheric prices older Italian pairs command today. More quietly, the approach suggests Nike is treating premium Air Force 1s less like anniversary novelties and more like a standing tier as it rebuilds momentum around the model.
Limited to 850 pairs, the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Made in Italy” is expected to release Spring/Summer 2026 in women’s sizing for $600 USD via Nike.com and select retailers.
