The Nike Air Force 1 ’01 “Triple Black” is shaping up as one of the first familiar colorways to arrive on the updated Y2K-inspired version of the classic. New images show the shoe covered almost entirely in black, keeping the look that has made the “Triple Black” Air Force 1 a regular part of Nike’s lineup for years.

This version does more than swap colors onto the standard AF1. The Air Force 1 ’01 uses softer leather across the upper with a slimmer, slightly shorter shape compared to current pairs. Extra padding gives the shoe a fuller feel around the collar, while the heel has a softer, more slouched appearance that leans closer to Air Force 1s from the early 2000s.

Black runs across the leather upper, Swoosh, laces, tongue, lining, midsole, and outsole for the familiar monochromatic finish. The changes are mostly in the shape and materials, allowing the “Triple Black” colorway to stay recognizable while the ’01 construction gives it a noticeably different profile.

The Nike Air Force 1 ’01 “Triple Black” is expected to release during Fall/Winter 2026 for $130.
