The Nike Air Force 1 Low '01 "MTA MetroCard" Releases October 2026
Quick Summary
- Nike drops the Air Force 1 Low '01 "MTA MetroCard" on October 7th, 2026 for $150 retail.
- Grey suede build features a MetroCard-inspired hangtag swapping the MTA logo for an oversized Swoosh.
- Pink-toned sole contrasts the neutral upper, while hidden NYC branding sits behind the tongue.
Nike is tapping into New York City's sneaker heritage with the Air Force 1 Low '01 "MTA MetroCard," a grey suede build that pays homage to the city through understated details rather than loud graphics. The colorway leans on the Air Force 1's deep roots in New York culture, letting the design language do the talking without plastering the shoe in borough-specific imagery.
The most distinctive detail is a MetroCard-inspired hangtag that swaps out the MTA's familiar logo and block lettering for an oversized Swoosh, keeping the transit card's silhouette recognizable while putting Nike's branding front and center. Hidden NYC branding sits behind the tongue, a subtle nod that rewards a closer look. Across the upper, tonal laces and layered variations of grey keep the suede construction clean and cohesive. A pink-toned sole breaks from the neutral palette underfoot, adding a soft contrast that keeps the colorway from reading as strictly monochrome.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low '01 "MTA MetroCard" is set to release on October 7th, 2026 through Nike and select retailers for a retail price of $150. To stay informed on all things Nike and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
