Patent leather is staying in rotation on the Nike Air Force 1, with another women’s release lined up for Summer 2026.

The upcoming “Patent Suede” pack includes two monochrome colorways, one dressed in “Triple Black” and the other covered in “University Red.” Instead of using a single finish across the entire shoe, Nike splits the upper between glossy patent leather on the toe box and quarter panels and softer suede or nubuck across the overlays.

Keeping each pair to one color puts more attention on the contrast between the shiny and matte materials. It also gives the classic Air Force 1 Low a slightly more elevated look without changing its familiar shape.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Patent Suede” pack will release July 1, 2026 in women’s sizing. Each pair will retail for $115.
