The Air Force 1 is having a moment again. The Nike classic has been around for decades, but after a 2020s focus on Dunks and Air Maxes, the AF1 is the retro silhouette de jour for 2026. In addition to bringing back bright patent leather colorways and transforming into a skate shoe, the AF1 has taken on new life as a PE for Nike Basketball’s biggest stars, including The King himself.
The latest Nike Air Force 1 LBJ follows the city-specific inspiration of past pairs, jumping from the NYC-themed black pair and LA-themed green colorway to a White and Ice Jade blend for Beijing that shines like porcelain pottery. Hits of pink and gold on the Swoosh and accessories bring it all together.
Starting with a translucent white shade on the crown-shaped midsole, LeBron’s latest Air Force 1 adds white leather to the toe, lace, and heel panels, and then marble-like white swirls to the toebox and side panels. The Swoosh also gets the marbled look, but this time in pink. The sockliner is quilted for more detail, the top of the tongue, a hit of jade green pops out, and the tongue label and lace dubrae get luxurious in gold.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low LBJ White Jade Ice Beijing will be released Summer 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $200.
