This Black and University Blue AF1 Boasts Medial Mini Swooshes

The Nike Air Force 1 continues to evolve with subtle updates, and its next iteration brings a fresh twist to the classic silhouette. This upcoming release features a full suede upper, offering a soft, premium feel that enhances the traditional AF1 look. The Swoosh on the lateral side is rubberized, providing extra durability for harsher conditions, but the rest of the design sticks closely to the original AF1 blueprint.

However, the medial side introduces a significant change. In an unexpected move, Nike has entirely removed the usual Swoosh from the medial side, opting for a smooth, unbranded finish. A miniature Swoosh is placed on the inside heel for a subtle touch of branding, adding to the sleek and minimalist look. This alteration evokes memories of Hender Scheme’s homage to the ’82 Bruce Kilgore classic, blending luxury craftsmanship with the Air Force 1's iconic style.

Enjoy an official look at the design below while we await confirmation of its release int he Spring 2025 window.
