Nike Gives the Air Force 1 Low a Square-Toe Makeover

Nike’s Air Force 1 Low is taking a different shape. Unveiled earlier this year, the Square Toe—or SQT—version is preparing to release in all-white and all-black for $150 each, with plenty more styles on the way.

The biggest change sits up front, where the familiar rounded toe gives way to a squared-off shape. The surrounding overlays and sole follow that sharper outline, giving the basketball staple a look closer to a casual dress shoe from certain angles.

Elsewhere, the design stays familiar. Both pairs feature textured leather uppers, perforated toe boxes, tonal Swooshes, and embroidered Nike Air branding at the heel. Matching laces and rectangular AF1 lace dubraes keep the monochromatic finishes consistent, while the midsole retains its raised AIR lettering.

The white and black pairs offer a straightforward introduction to the new shape, but Nike has more planned for the SQT. Additional styles are coming as the brand expands the square-toe treatment beyond these initial looks.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low SQT is set to release soon for $150 per pair. A firm release date has yet to be announced but expect pairs to be avaialble via Nike.com and U.S. retailers soon, the duo is available now in select overseas markets.
