Jordan Release Calendar

British rapper Central Cee got a lot of pushback from his claims that he was responsible for popularizing the Nike Tech sweatsuit, but that’s nothing compared to the blowback he’ll get if he takes credit for patent leather Air Force 1s. But at this rate, we’re just counting the days until Cee makes headlines with that reckless claim. For his latest Nike collab, Cench is dropping three patent leather Air Force 1 colorways that are giving us serious mid-2000s vibes.
The Central Cee x Nike Air Force 1 Low Black Racer Blue is covered in shiny patent colors, adding black to the toe, lace, and heel panels with vibrant racer blue on the toebox and side panels. Yellow is added to the branding, bringing an opti yellow shade to the Swoosh, tongue label, and Syna World halo logo on the lateral heel. Bringing it all together, the stitching at the edge of every black panel is done in yellow to make the colorway really pop.

In addition to the black, blue, and yellow pair, Central Cee is filling in the patent leather Air Force 1 pack with a beetroot red colorway and a grey and black blend that keeps things a little more subtle. Like the other two pairs, the Racer Blue colorway comes in a custom Central Cee box with Syna World branding.
The Central Cee x Nike Air Force 1 Low Black Racer Blue will be released Spring 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $150. For all the latest Nike collab news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
