Nike’s iconic Air Force 1 gets a premium update in the “Black Nubuck” releasing this Fall 2025.

Soft nubuck panels replace the typical leather found on previous Forces. The 1982 silhouette sees a new tone and texture in this drop.

Matte black suede envelops the upper, while the Swoosh, lining, and midsole use deep black materials for contrast. The all-black palette features materials that take on the color in their own way, offering variation in the build.

The Nike Air Force 1 “Black Nubuck” will release Fall 2025 on Nike.com and select retailers.

Expect a subdued, elevated take on the classic silhouette with this moodier drop. It’s more than a colorway switch, but a modern twist on a foundational sneaker. Black-out AF1 fans will love the detail.
