Nike is releasing an Air Force 1 Low in a ‘Sunflower’ colorway, set to arrive Fall 2026. The shoe joins a growing series of seasonally themed Air Force 1 builds and brings a standout construction detail that separates it from a standard colorway drop.
Nike has been one of the most influential footwear companies in the world since its founding in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports and its rebranding to Nike in 1971. Over the decades, the brand built a reputation on performance innovation and cultural crossover, producing some of the most recognized shoes in history. Its reach spans sport, fashion, and street culture, and it continues to drive some of the most consistent release schedules in sneakers.
The Air Force 1 is among the most significant silhouettes Nike has ever produced. Originally designed by Bruce Kilgore and introduced in 1982, it was the first basketball shoe to use Nike Air cushioning. It quickly moved from the hardwood to the streets, becoming a staple of hip-hop culture through the 1980s and 1990s and never really leaving. The low-top version in particular has remained in near-constant production, making it one of the longest-running sneakers in the brand’s catalog. Its simple, clean lines have made it a reliable canvas for colorways, collaborations, and limited editions across every era.
This ‘Sunflower’ version follows earlier seasonal releases in the same vein, including the ‘Autumn Leaves’ and ‘Cherry Blossom’ colorways, both of which used similar construction. The defining feature here is a detachable shroud secured by the laces, which sits over the toe and gives the shoe an altered silhouette compared to a standard Air Force 1 Low. The shroud can be removed, offering two distinct looks from one pair. It is a functional design choice that adds versatility without changing the base shoe underneath.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Sunflower’ is priced at $125 and will be available in unisex sizing. It releases Fall 2026 through Nike.com and select stores. If this one catches your eye, it is worth browsing the broader Air Force 1 catalog on Nike.com to see what else is available in the lineup.
