Quick Summary
Nike is adding another dark chapter to the Air Force 1 Low lineup with this "Anthracite" colorway, set to land in Summer 2026. The silhouette has long served as a canvas for tonal and near-monochromatic builds, and this release fits squarely within that tradition, leaning on a washed charcoal palette that stops just short of full black.
The upper pairs Anthracite and Medium Ash across a mixed-material construction that gives the shoe more surface interest than a standard leather build. Canvas-like textile covers the overlays, eyestays, heel, and Swoosh, while suede or nubuck panels land across the toe box and sides, adding dimension without disrupting the subdued overall aesthetic. The only element that breaks from the dark palette is a set of Metallic Silver AF1 lace dubrae, a small but effective accent that offsets the heavier tones throughout. Nike Air branding appears tonally on the tongue, heel, and insoles, keeping the branding consistent with the rest of the understated design. A black midsole and rubber outsole round out the build in true AF1 fashion.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low "Anthracite" is set to release in Summer 2026 via Nike and select retailers for a retail price of $125. To stay informed on all things Nike and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
