UPDATE 6/23/26: The “Game Day” Air Force 1 is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 6/17/26:
The Nike Air Force 1 “Game Day” is scheduled for June 20, 2026, with a release through Nike.com and select retailers. It is expected to arrive alongside a larger Nike Sportswear capsule built around vintage team gear.

Most of the upper is covered in Malachite green, mixing leather on the base with suede across the overlays. University Gold handles the brighter accents. Coconut Milk and Gum Medium Brown settle things down around the sole and give the shoe a more worn-in look.

Collectors familiar with Ari Saal Forman’s Menthol 10 may notice a resemblance in the green-heavy color blocking. The comparison is mostly visual. Forman’s 2006 design referenced cigarette packaging, while this pair looks to old basketball uniforms, varsity colors, and classic athletic apparel.

A basketball charm hangs from the laces, making the “Game Day” theme clear without adding much else to the shoe. It also brings the design back to the Air Force 1’s original basketball roots.

Look for the Nike Air Force 1 “Game Day” on June 20, 2026, at Nike.com and select retailers, priced at $125 USD.
