Sometimes a skate session requires a little…aggression. As Nike SB rolls out its most anticipated Nike classic crossover in years with the SB Air Force 1, the debut creamy suede and soft pink colorway will be followed by a summertime release of the AF1’s most notorious color combo.
The Nike SB Air Force 1 Low Black is a triple-black pair of Forces remixed in suede for skating, but with the same connotations as its all-leather sibling. Keeping things blacked out, the upper is a monochrome coat of soft black suede, matching the black tongue, sockliner, and laces, all sitting on top of a black midsole. Like a traditional triple-black Air Force, the lace dubrae is still silver, this time with an SB-1 inscription.

Because the standard Air Force 1 sole is a little too thick for reasonable boardfeel, the SB team completely reworked the footbed of the silhouette, sitting the foot lower in the shoe while keeping the overall look of the iconic model. If you’ve been battling a trick for months to no avail, it might be time to put the triple-black Forces to work.
The Nike SB Air Force 1 Low Black will be released Summer 2026 through Nike and select Nike SB retailers, likely through raffles similar to Nike SB Dunk drops. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $120. For all the latest Nike SB news, download the Sole Retriever App.
