The Nike Air Force 1 Levels Up with a Carbon Fibre Upgrade

At first glance, it might look like the same old classic ‘White’ and ‘Black’ colourways from the 1980s. But take a closer look and you'll realise that the Air Force 1 Carbon Fibre Pack isn't your average nostalgia trip.

Sure, the OG ‘White’ and ‘Black’ Air Force 1s have been holding it down for over 40 years without a makeover. But now, Nike's given these sneakers a glow up with a carbon fibre inspired texture on the overlays. Think less “smooth leather” and more “high end sports car feels.” No, it won’t make you run faster (sadly, it’s not real carbon fibre), but the cushy Air midsole ensures your feet are living their best, comfiest life.

Nike hasn’t messed with the Air Force 1’s classic DNA. The perforated toe box is still here to keep your feet cool, the iconic stitched Swoosh hasn’t gone anywhere, and the laser etched steel dubrae is still flexing its fancy charm. Add in the classic tongue tag and heel branding, and you’ve got yourself the perfect AF1 remix.

It’s worth noting that Nike’s flirted with carbon fibre before; remember the ‘Carbon Swoosh’ from 2022? But this time, they’ve gone all in, wrapping the entire shoe in that racing car texture.

The Nike Air Force 1 ‘Carbon Fibre Pack’ is set to drop soon via Nike, the SNKRS app, and select retailers worldwide, priced at at £120. You can snag the Black variant for retail at size? already.
