Sometimes, Nike just gets it right. After bringing back the 2001 Air Force 1 shape earlier this year, the retro silhouette is taking its place as a staple in The Swoosh’s catalog. From throwback patent leather pairs to monochrome soft leather basics and a subway rat in suede, the ‘01 is slowly becoming a standard.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low '01 College Navy follows Dark Team Red and Light Army colorways of the ‘01 AF1 in a classic monochrome leather makeup. The 2001 shape is beloved for its streamlined profile and more comfortable feel, and its return already has Air Force 1 diehards foaming at the mouth.

Featuring navy blue splashing across every panel of the upper, the colorway switches to stark white on the tongue, Swoosh, heel tab, and midsole, with more blue on the branding. If you’ve been meaning to pick up a new throwback jersey and flat-billed New Era, these are a must to match.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low '01 College Navy will be released Holiday 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $130. For all the latest Nike AF1 news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
