Nike is bringing back the early-2000s Air Force 1 shape with the upcoming Air Force 1 Low ’01 “Triple White.” Expected in July 2026, the all-white release is priced at $150, placing it $35 above the standard Air Force 1 ’07.

The differences are subtle until both versions sit side by side. Compared to the current ’07, the ’01 has a narrower toe box, shorter toe height, and a sleeker forefoot. Its lower-cut collar and rounder heel also give the shoe the compact shape associated with Air Force 1 pairs from the early 2000s.

Sneaker reporter @zsneakerheadz provided the comparison photos, making the shape and construction changes easier to spot across both versions.

Nike adjusted more than the overall profile. The ’01 uses thicker leather panels, added interior padding, and a longer leather tongue. It also removes the familiar metal lace dubrae found on the ’07, replacing it with a small embroidered Swoosh near the bottom of the eyestay.

Panel placement and stitching have been revised to better match the 2001 build. The side Swoosh appears slightly thicker, while the heel tab carries a softer, more rounded curve. Nike also refined the midsole texture and reshaped the outsole, though the traditional circular traction pattern remains in place.

None of these changes turn the Air Force 1 ’01 into a completely different sneaker. The appeal comes from the proportions. Collectors who prefer older Air Force 1s will notice the slimmer toe, lower stance, and more structured construction immediately.

Nike has already reintroduced the shape through NIGO’s recent collaboration, and the “Triple White” pair gives the ’01 treatment a more familiar look.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low ’01 “Triple White” is expected to release in July 2026 for $150.
