Nike Air Force 1 Low "Black/Gum" Channels the Orange Label SB Dunk Low

Originally mistaken for a skate-elevated release, this upcoming Nike Air Force 1 Low has now been confirmed as a standard Air Force 1 drop—despite its heavy resemblance to the Orange Label SB Dunk Low Black/Gum. While the early mix-up may have fueled unnecessary speculation, the premium leather, suede overlays, and gum rubber sole still make this one of the more versatile AF1s on the horizon.

The design sticks closely to the SB Dunk’s formula, featuring a black leather upper with tonal black suede overlays for added depth. A murdered-out midsole extends the dark aesthetic, while a contrasting gum rubber outsole ensures a classic touch. Bringing some much-needed contrast, crisp white Swoosh overlays and matching white laces complete the look, staying true to the familiar skate-inspired styling.

Though it won’t feature Nike SB’s specialized cushioning or board feel enhancements, the Air Force 1 Low "Black/Gum" still delivers a sharp, understated aesthetic that works both on and off the pavement.
