Victor Victor and Nike are teaming up on a full Air Force 1 collection spanning five colorways, with the first two styles arriving in the summer or fall of 2026. The label’s largest sneaker project to date, the collection covers yellow, red, purple, blue, and black, with early images of the yellow and black versions already surfacing publicly. Victor Wembanyama has been spotted wearing the designs in recent weeks, giving the collection its first real-world preview.
Nike needs little introduction in the sneaker world. The brand has spent decades building one of the deepest catalogs in footwear, and the Air Force 1 sits at the center of that legacy. Designed by Bruce Kilgore and introduced in 1982, the Air Force 1 was the first basketball shoe to use Nike Air cushioning. It crossed over from the court to the street and never looked back, becoming one of the most recognizable silhouettes in sneaker history. The remastered 2001 construction used throughout this collection is a specific version of that shape that longtime fans have long pointed to as a high point for the silhouette. It is the same build that appeared in Nigo’s LO2 project in May, so it comes into this collaboration with recent momentum behind it.
Victor Victor is a media company and record label founded by Steven Victor. It operates across music production, artist management, and creative work, and has built a roster that has included the late Pop Smoke, as well as current signees Ski Mask the Slump God and Nigo. Steven Victor’s background runs deep in the music industry, with prior leadership roles as COO and vice president of A&R at GOOD Music, Def Jam, and Universal Music Group. The label’s relationship with Nike is not brand new. Victor Victor put out a friends and family Air Force 1 release in 2024, then followed that with its first public Nike product, the Air Max DN8, in 2025. This five-colorway Air Force 1 collection is the most ambitious step the two have taken together so far.
Nigo, who appears on the Victor Victor roster, is himself a well-established figure in streetwear and creative culture, which adds another layer to the label’s connection to the sneaker space. Having that presence within the label’s orbit gives this collaboration a natural fit with the kind of audience that pays close attention to Air Force 1 releases.
The Victor Victor x Nike Air Force 1 collection will retail for $150 per pair. The yellow and red colorways are expected to release first, sometime in Q3 2026, with the purple, blue, and black styles following toward the end of the year. No exact release date has been confirmed yet. All five styles are expected to be available through Nike and select retailers. If this collection has your attention, it is worth keeping an eye on Nike’s broader Air Force 1 lineup and any additional Victor Victor projects that follow.
