Nike Air Force 1 Low Patent Leather Dress Pack

In its four decades of existence, the Nike Air Force 1 has served a litany of purposes. From the original roots on the hardwood to its new skateboarding evolution, few sneakers have the versatility of the Air Force 1. A pair of white or black Forces is a staple for any wardrobe, and that wardrobe can be elevated even more with the Nike Air Force 1 Patent Leather Dress Pack.

Patent leather has made a comeback this year, with the Air Force 1 helping to lead the charge. Nike is dropping a trio of patent leather-coated Air Force 1s in fun colorways that restore the feeling of the mid-2000s, but the clean Patent Leather Dress Pack is about business, opting for monochromatic remixes of the silhouette.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Patent Leather Premium Black heel

Both pairs come in their classic triple black and triple white colorways with the added sheen of premium patent leather gracing the uppers. Much like the Jordan 11’s patent leather construction makes it a multipurpose sneaker fit for graduations and celebrations of all kinds, the clean black and white pair of patent leather Forces could have the same cultural impact at a lower price point. Imagine all the graduation and prom fits in these. With the right outfit, you might be able to pull them off at a job interview; that’s the power of patent leather.

The Nike Air Force 1 Patent Leather Dress Pack drops Summer 2026 via Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price for both pairs is set at $125. For all the latest Nike news and release info, download the Sole Retriever app.
