If the Air Force 1 wasn't your cup of tea before, try the newest pair. It's quite literally brewed to perfection.

Nike has released a new version of the Air Force 1 Low, a Retro Premium style dressed in a "Black Tea" colorway. It features velvety brown nubuck leather uppers that look like they've been soaked in the finest cup of tea.

Another great thing about the sneaker is that it's a retro, meaning its design leans heavily into the OG AF1 design. So, it's not tea party-fresh, but it also has that serious classic edge.

Every year is a good year to be an Air Force 1 fan, and 2026 has brought some serious bangers. Nike has introduced Vibram-soled pairs and fancy Italian leather iterations. The sportswear brand even turned the iconic model into a Nike SB skate shoe.

Nike's now coming with the tea, "Black Tea" Forces that is. They're now available on Sneaker Politics' website for $140.
