Nike is bringing a legendary sneaker back into view—ironically, with clear panels. The Nike Air Force 1 “Invisible” returns in Fall 2025, and it’s fresher than ever.

2006 Nike Air Force 1 Low Invisible Woman sneaker in blue with translucent panels next to a Marvel Fantastic Four Invisible Woman action figure.
The original 2006 Nike Air Force 1 Low “Invisible Woman” from the Fantastic Four pack, paired with a matching Marvel action figure.

This modern take nods to the 2006 “Invisible Woman” design from the Fantastic Four-inspired pack. And while there’s no superhero branding here, the vibe is still super. The sneaker mixes white tumbled leather with see-through blue TPU windows that peek right into your socks. Hope your sock game is strong.

Icy blue outsoles and soft University Blue hits on the tongue, heel, and insole branding add frosty flair. But the real showstopper? That flashy AF1 dubrae up front—it’s blingy enough to stop traffic, or at least start a conversation.

Unlike the OG fully-transparent version, this pair smartly keeps the clear bits limited to the toe box and sidewalls. So yes, they’re see-through, but still wearable—your feet won’t look like futuristic jellyfish.

Expect the Nike Air Force 1 “Invisible” to release Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers. Pricing is expected to be a little higher thanks to the upgraded details. Keep your eyes peeled—these won’t stay on shelves for long.

Whether you’re flexing nostalgia or just love clean design with a twist, this translucent icon is ready to shine.

Now let’s talk about the second pair—the purple snakeskin edition. With a dark and edgy black pattern up top and faux leopard fur on the strap, this version means business. And because Stray Rats can’t resist going full Miami, this pair comes loaded with eight themed Jibbitz charms—one even flexes a camo “305.”

Both pairs scream personality louder than your neighbor’s car alarm. Retailing for $80, these Crocs will be available on Crocs.com starting June 26th. They’re bold, unapologetic, and maybe a little feral—in the best way.
