The Nike Air Force 1 '01 "Cracked Leather" Pack Releases September 2026
Quick Summary
- Nike revives the slimmer 2001 Air Force 1 silhouette with the "Cracked Leather" Pack, featuring glossy patent overlays on both pairs.
- Black/White and Menta/White colorways release September 2026 for $140 per pair via Nike and select retailers.
- The leaner 2001 construction sits lower through the toe and reads noticeably trimmer than recent Air Force 1 builds.
Nike is tapping into the leaner Air Force 1 build from 2001 with the "Cracked Leather" Pack, a two-colorway set that pairs the slimmer silhouette with a glossy, broken-in patent finish across both pairs. The 2001 construction sits noticeably lower through the toe and looks trimmer from the side than the thicker Air Force 1 builds Nike has put out in recent years, making the shape itself a talking point before the cracked leather even enters the conversation.
The Black/White colorway leads with a white leather base across the upper, while cracked patent leather takes over the overlays, toe panels, and Swoosh for a vintage-leaning texture that reads more worn-in than distressed. White laces and a matching midsole keep the build clean, and a black rubber outsole anchors the bottom. Nike Air branding appears on the tongue, heel, and midsole in the usual positions.
The Menta/White pair follows the same construction template, swapping the black rubber for a green outsole that ties back into the upper's cracked patent accents. White leather fills the base just as it does on the darker pair, and the overall palette stays restrained, letting the cracked finish carry the visual weight across both shoes.
The Nike Air Force 1 '01 "Cracked Leather" Pack is set to release in September 2026 for a retail price of $140 per pair via Nike and select Nike retailers. To stay informed on all things Nike and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
