The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Paisley” steps into the spotlight with an elegant update that favors texture over color. Bold prints are swapped out for an embossed paisley pattern to refresh one of the most recognizable silhouettes on the scene this Spring 2026.

The shoe debuts in a crisp Summit White colorway that sees the traditional smooth leather upper replace with panels of soft suede. Paisley patterns are embossed directly onto the upper where the design comes alive in the play of light and shadow. Elevated, subtle, and quintessentially Nike in its modern minimalism, it feels very much in-step with the brand’s recent premium push.

Design elements remain purposefully familiar elsewhere. White laces, leather tongue, and a complementary midsole keep the look tonally clean and unified. There’s no change to the AF1’s long-revered comfort and wearability underfoot, with the familiar Air Force 1 cushioning and rubber outsole remaining the same.

A slew of similar paisley graphics have popped up throughout Nike’s recent release history. Loud, nostalgic, and verging on kitsch, they’ve become more of a tongue-in-cheek motif within the brand’s archives. This offering, however, feels decidedly more modern. It takes a more low-key, versatile approach to the paisley print that won’t tie-down the pair in the same way.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Paisley” is slated to release Spring 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers.
