Air Force 1 Low "Patent Pack" Arrives Summer 2026

Nike is revisiting glossy finishes once again with the upcoming Nike Air Force 1 Low "Patent Pack," set to release during Summer 2026. Following the recent Mulberry patent Air Force 1 drop, this new trio expands on the high-shine theme with three bold colorways: Mystic Navy, Dark Team Red, and Topaz Gold.

Each pair leans fully into patent leather construction, giving the classic Air Force 1 Low a reflective, almost lacquered look from heel to toe. The Mystic Navy option pairs deep blue uppers with contrasting purple Swooshes and volt-toned laces, while the Dark Team Red edition arrives in rich burgundy hues accented by vibrant orange detailing. Rounding out the collection is the Topaz Gold pair, featuring bright yellow uppers balanced by green Swooshes and complementary lace sets.

All three sneakers maintain traditional Air Force 1 tooling, including tonal midsoles and matching rubber outsoles that keep the focus on the glossy uppers. The patent finish amplifies the color saturation across each design, giving the pack a statement-making presence while staying true to the model’s familiar silhouette.

Legendary designer Frank Cooke also shared insight into the challenge of creating footwear that resonates with consumers week after week, expressing pride in seeing projects like these make it to retail floors. His comments underline the collaborative effort behind releases like the Nike Air Force 1 Low "Patent Pack," where bold color experimentation meets a heritage staple.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low "Patent Pack" is expected to release during Summer 2026 via Nike and select retailers. Stay tuned for confirmed dates and pricing.
