Nike just dropped a certified summer flex with its newest Air Force 1 Low “NY vs NY” edition—and it’s all love for New York hoops.

This isn’t your average white-on-white AF1. Oh no, this pair adds flavor with soft pastel orange liners, icy outsoles, and mismatched Swooshes that shift from peach to gold like a Bronx sunset. It’s basically the sneaker equivalent of a chopped cheese on a summer night—undeniably NYC.

To honor the city’s “NY vs. NY” streetball tournament, Nike laced the insole with bold graphics, repping each borough’s courts like it’s playoff season. And the “NY vs NY” stamp on the heel? Just in case anyone forgot where you run the blacktop.

Karl-Anthony Towns and Miles McBride flexed these early at Madison Square Garden, adding some runway heat to the Game 1 pregame tunnel walk. Between the sneakers and those fits—NYFW might have to take notes.

Nike isn’t stopping at the shoes either. Expect matching apparel and limited-edition gear to drop alongside the kicks later this summer.
