The Nike Air Force 1 Low “What The LA” is returning October 22, 2026, seven years after its original release in 2019. The mismatched sneaker pulls together colors from Los Angeles sports teams, with each shoe featuring a different combination. It’s another LA-themed release in a year that has already brought several Dodgers-inspired sneakers and pairs celebrating the Lakers.

The design sticks with Nike’s familiar “What The” approach, mixing colors and materials that wouldn’t normally appear together on the same shoe. Red covers the toe of the left shoe, joined by white overlays, tan suede, and Lakers purple at the heel. The right shoe looks entirely different, with Dodgers blue up front, green side panels, and gold wrapping around the back. Neither shoe follows one team’s colors from start to finish, which was part of the original 2019 design.

Los Angeles script branding appears on the lateral heel and insole of each shoe. Aside from the matching lettering and traditional Air Force 1 Low construction, the two sides have little in common visually. The return brings back one of Nike’s more colorful LA-themed releases without changing the original concept.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “What The LA” releases October 22, 2026, through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $125.
