Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Patent Pack’

Nike reached back to the aughts with a trio of candy-colored patent leather Air Force 1 Lows for April 2026, the kind of nostalgic treatment that had been cycling back into the market. Patent leather on the AF1 carries specific early-2000s energy, and the saturated orange, blue, and yellow colorways amplified that period reference considerably.

The Patent Pack’s three distinct colorways covered a broad portion of the spectrum while maintaining the same shiny, eye-catching material story across all versions. Patent AF1s have always found their audience, and these were no exception at the $120 price point.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Patent Pack retailed at $120 and released April 9, 2026 through Nike.com and select footwear retailers in three colorways.
