Nike is stepping into Fall with a rugged update to its iconic silhouette. The upcoming Nike Air Force 1 Low Cordura “Dark Obsidian” is built for cold-weather wear without losing its timeless edge.

This Air Force 1 comes fully wrapped in a rich, tonal navy. It blends ballistic nylon and smooth leather across the upper for durability and support. Cordura fabric reinforces high-stress zones like the toe box, heel, and quarter panels, boosting its resilience. Rugged metal eyelets and extra stitching add more weather resistance, while the padded collar offers comfort in tougher conditions.

Branding is understated but effective. A tiny Cordura tag on the lateral side speaks to the shoe’s purpose-built nature. Meanwhile, tonal Nike Air logos keep the look clean and versatile. The dark midsole and outsole complete the uniform aesthetic.

Nike’s use of Cordura isn’t new—it has appeared on previous seasonal drops—but this Dark Obsidian pair leans fully into functional streetwear. The materials and structure make it ideal for daily wear, rain or shine.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Cordura “Dark Obsidian” will release in Fall 2024. Expect pairs to arrive on Nike.com and at select Nike Sportswear retailers.
