Another red and gold Air Force 1 is on the way, and this one has a pretty obvious Iron Man look to it. The glossy patent leather makes the colors stand out even more, especially with that bright orange sole underneath. Nike did something similar back in 2013, so longtime sneaker fans might remember the earlier pair. The timing also comes as adidas has been putting out officially licensed Marvel sneakers, including Avengers Superstars, with a Doctor Doom Anthony Edwards 3 also on the way.

The “Iron Man” name isn’t official, since this isn’t a Marvel collaboration. It’s just what people are calling the shoe because of the colors. Dark red patent leather covers almost everything up top, while burgundy laces and a darker heel add a little variation. The orange Swooshes match the translucent sole, and the black lines around the leather panels give it an almost illustrated look. There’s something about the shiny finish that also brings those old BAPE Marvel sneakers to mind. Orange Nike Air logos appear on the tongue and heel.

The Nike Air Force 1 Patent “Iron Man” is set to release November 1, 2026 through select retailers and Nike.com. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price tag is set at $125.
