Nike is bringing back the Air Force 1 ‘Easter Egg’ for Spring 2027, marking the third time this pastel-covered colorway has hit shelves. The low-top silhouette arrives dressed in the same playful, multicolor palette that made it a standout seasonal release the first two times around, and Nike is positioning it for a new wave of Air Force 1 fans who may be discovering it for the first time.
Nike has been one of the defining forces in sneaker culture since the late 1970s, building a catalog that spans performance basketball, running, and lifestyle footwear. The brand’s ability to revisit beloved colorways decades after their debut is one of the reasons its archive continues to feel relevant. Few companies have the depth of seasonal releases that Nike does, and the ‘Easter Egg’ colorway is a good example of how a playful, limited concept can earn a long shelf life.
The Air Force 1 itself needs little introduction. Designed by Bruce Kilgore and originally released in 1982, it was the first basketball shoe to use Nike Air cushioning. It transitioned into a lifestyle staple over the decades and became one of the most produced and sold sneakers in Nike’s history. The low-top version, which is what this ‘Easter Egg’ release uses, is the most widely recognized cut of the silhouette and has served as the canvas for countless colorways and collaborations over the years.
The ‘Easter Egg’ colorway first launched in 2005, then returned in 2017. Both appearances leaned into soft pastel tones that made the shoe feel distinct from Nike’s standard rotation. Now, roughly another decade later, Nike is going back to that same well for 2027. No specific release date, price, or retailer has been confirmed yet for this drop. As more details become available, check back here for updates. If this one has you interested in the broader Air Force 1 catalog, it is worth browsing Nike’s other seasonal and archival colorways on the same silhouette.
