The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Light Violet Ore” is yet another example that Nike can keep AF1 styles exciting without forcing creativity. Replacing glossy leather with matte canvas gives it a worn in, hardened feel. It feeds into the growing obsession with workwear inspired sneakers that look built, not constructed.

Instead of hiding wear, Nike leans into it. Faux repair stitching hits the toe and heel, while canvas “bandage” strips wrap the tongue and run down the back. The toe box adds stitched reinforcement over the perforations, which gives the shoe quiet structure and visual depth. Nothing feels random.

Canvas Air Force 1s aren’t new, but this one feels more intentional and mature in execution.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Light Violet Ore” releases Spring 2026 for $125 at Nike.com and select retailers.
