The Air Force 1 Low “Glam Rock” Pack Turns the Volume All the Way Up

Nike is tapping into the excess and attitude of the Glam Rock era with an upcoming Air Force 1 Low pack that leans heavily into theatrical finishes, metallic shine, and bold contrast. Rather than a single standalone release, this is a two-pair offering that explores the theme through distinct executions, each pulling from the same era of music-driven style and visual bravado.

Both Air Force 1 Lows feature classic black leather bases, but the overlays do the heavy lifting. One pair arrives drenched in shimmering bronze and gold metallic panels, paired with vivid purple Swooshes and tongue branding. The second opts for a cooler approach, replacing warm tones with glossy gunmetal and silver finishes, accented by crisp white Swooshes and heel tabs. Together, the two styles feel like opposite sides of the same stage — one loud and flamboyant, the other dark and polished.

Details throughout reinforce the pack’s elevated direction. Metallic lace dubraes add jewelry-like flair, while tonal midsoles and outsoles keep the silhouettes grounded despite their high-shine uppers. Subtle Nike Air Force branding on the tongue and heel completes the look without distracting from the materials themselves.

While Nike hasn’t officially labeled the collection, the shared design language and mirrored execution make it clear that this is a cohesive pack rather than a series of isolated releases. The Glam Rock influence is present without being costume-like, offering statement pairs that still retain everyday wearability.

The Air Force 1 Low "Glam Rock" pack is expected to release during the first half of 2026. Stay tuned for confirmed pricing and launch details as they surface.
