Roses may be red, but Nike's latest Air Force 1 Low sneaker is the right kind of blue.

For its newest release, the mega-classic Nike shoe comes dressed in this "Dark Sky Blue" colorway, with the gloomy color scheme looking quite good on the iconic model.

This particular pair of Forces features a smooth full-grain leather upper for an added touch of luxury. Between the dark blues and the suede-ish textures, Nike cooks up the perfect faded blue AF1.

Every year is a good year to be a fan of Nike's (arguably) most famous sneaker. And 2026 is no different. Nike has already revealed some solid Forces for the year, from Birkin-level pairs handcrafted in Italy to the cutest Valentine's Day spins. In between, the sportswear brand is keeping the classic, well, classic with simple, albeit luxe, colorways like the "Smoke Grey" and these "Dark Sky Blue" pairs.
