Last night was a big one for Air Force 1 fans, as the news leaked that multiple legendary pairs would be landing in 2024. Amongst them, the Nike Air Force 1 “Linen” is expected to make its long-awaited comeback, and this time you might actually be able to get your hands on it.
Originally released all the way back in 2001, the “Linen” Air Force 1 Low formed part of Nike’s Co.JP series, making it exclusive to Japan. Dressed up in a crowd-pleasing colourway, the pair features tumbled leather uppers that give it an ultra-premium aesthetic. In terms of colour blocking, the titular hue takes over the base, while blush pink accents hit the Swoosh, Air midsole branding and outsole, and a classic white AF1 sole unit sits underfoot.
Marking its first foray out of its home country, a small run of the shoe was later produced in 2016 to celebrate the opening of KITH’s Miami store, but overall the “Linen” AF1 remains ultra-limited. It’s now been reported that the pair will return in 2024, although we’re still yet to get a first look at the retro version.
