A Stealthy "Black Nubuck" Lands on Nike's Air Force 1 Low

The Nike Air Force 1 Low continues to form an important part of the brand's Sportswear division. Ahead of Fall 2025, the silhouette has emerged in more and more season-appropriate makeovers.

Although a "Triple Black" finish is a mainstay of the Air Force 1, its most recent appearance has taken on an untraditional build. Bruce Kilgore's original leather design has been replaced with nubuck panels, signaling an experimental update to the 42-year-old basketball sneaker. The modification falls in line with some of Nike Sportswear's other fall-friendly tweaks to the AF-1, most notably the "Flax" option.

Profile swooshes, inner lining, and sole units don the darkest shades of "Black" found on the impending drop. The aforementioned nubuck material gets a stealthy finish as well, but it takes the dye differently, delivering some visual contrast to the remaining components.

Enjoy official photos of the "Black Nubuck" style ahead. Pairs are expected to release via Nike.com soon.
