Nike Air Force 1 Low "NYC" Pre-Orders Open Today at Select New York Foot Locker Stores

New York’s championship celebrations are still rolling, and Foot Locker is bringing the Nike Air Force 1 Low "NYC" back into the spotlight with an exclusive pre-order release today, June 18.

The pair first released earlier this year as part of Nike’s New York-focused push around the Knicks’ run to the Eastern Conference Finals, landing in a clean orange-and-blue setup built for the city’s basketball moment. Now, with the Knicks having finished the job and secured their first NBA championship in 53 years, the Nike Air Force 1 Low "NYC" gets a timely second window through select Foot Locker stores in the city.

The design keeps things simple but effective, pairing a white leather base with mismatched blue and orange Swooshes, NYC embroidery on the tongue and heel, and “2026” branding stamped near the rear. Special insoles nod to Madison Square Garden, tying the release directly to the Knicks’ historic season and the citywide energy around it.

It also arrives in Nike’s 2001-inspired Air Force 1 shape, a build that has quickly become a major talking point for collectors as Nike continues to bring the beloved proportions back across select releases. For this pair, the shape gives the clean NYC colorway a more nostalgic feel without overcomplicating the design.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low "NYC" will be available for pre-order today, June 18, exclusively at select NYC Foot Locker locations. Participating stores include Harlem at 272 W 125th St, Times Square at 1460 Broadway, and 112 W 34th St. Shipments are estimated to arrive by October 31, 2026.

footlocker.com will also be handling an online pre-order from 10:30 am ET.

All sales are final, with no exchanges or cancellations. Pairs will be available while supplies last.
