There’s something about black suede that makes a skate shoe undeniable. Despite the skate shoe industry taking a lot of credit for the push to bright, multi-color pairs, brands from Nike SB and adidas Skateboarding to Etnies, DC, Vans, and more core skate brands have all known one thing since the birth of the kickflip - black suede sells.
The Instant Skateboards x Nike SB Air Force 1 Game Royal is the latest leaked skate shop collab from SB’s new Air Force 1 remix, and in true skate fashion, the Japanese skate shop keeps it classic and ready to rip. In addition ot Instant, the upcoming Nike SB Air Force 1 skate shop pack crosses borders with pairs for Ben-G in Amsterdam and Nocturnal in Philadelphia.
On the Instant Skateboards pair, the retooled Air Force 1 features a full coat of soft black suede on the upper. From there, the colorway channels the Nike SB Dunk Low J-Pack with Royal Blue accents on the Swoosh, heel tab, tongue tag, and outsole. A white midsole adds some contrast, and an Instant logo is added in more blue on the lateral heel.
The Instant Skateboards x Nike SB Air Force 1 will be released Holiday 2026 through Instant and select Nike SB shops online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $120. To keep up with all the latest from Nike SB’s Air Force 1 line, download the Sole Retriever App.
