Nike SB is taking the Air Force 1 around the world with a new “City Pack” made alongside four skate shops. The lineup includes Ben-G in the Netherlands, Instant Skateboards in Japan, Fly Streetwear in China, and Nocturnal in the United States. Each shop gets its own colorway along with a limited version featuring its logo embroidered near the lateral heel. Pairs without the shop branding will also release more widely within each region.

Ben-G leads the pack with a Light Chocolate and Court Purple colorway, while Instant goes with Black and Game Royal. Fly Streetwear uses Photon Dust with University Gold, and Nocturnal finishes the group in Cool Grey and Court Green. The shoes keep things fairly simple overall, with the different colors and shop details doing most of the work.

Only 300 pairs of the Ben-G edition will be made with the shop’s round logo embroidered on the heel. Those pairs will be sold directly through Ben-G before the unbranded version reaches select skate shops across EMEA later in October. Instant, Fly Streetwear, and Nocturnal will follow with their own regional launches.

The idea has some history behind it, going back to the Air Force 1 “Color of the Month” releases from 1984. Retailers played a big role in keeping the Air Force 1 around during those early years, with limited regional colorways eventually becoming an important part of the shoe’s history. The Nike SB project follows a similar setup by putting local skate shops at the center of each release.

The Ben-G x Nike SB Air Force 1 “City Pack” releases in-store on October 10, 2026, followed by an online release October 11. Instant Skateboards and Fly Streetwear are expected during Holiday 2026, while the Nocturnal colorway is scheduled to release in the United States during Spring 2027.
