Nike is working houndstooth into the Air Force 1 Low for Fall/Winter 2026, giving the longtime staple a mix of Light Khaki, maroon, and Soft Yellow. Rather than covering the whole shoe in the pattern, it stays focused on a few areas while leather and suede handle most of the upper.

Light Khaki suede fills the toe box and side panels, while matching leather is used around the mudguard, eyestays, and heel. Woven houndstooth covers the Swooshes and tongue in a mix of maroon and yellow tones. Dark maroon laces run across the patterned tongue, with the same shade appearing on the leather tongue label and heel tabs. Soft Yellow branding and a metallic AF-1 lace dubrae add smaller touches up front.

The houndstooth Swoosh continues around the heel, sitting beneath embroidered Nike Air branding on the maroon backtabs. A cream Air Force 1 midsole keeps the bottom close to the upper before a dark brown rubber outsole adds some contrast underneath.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Houndstooth” will release during Fall/Winter 2026 in men’s sizing.
