Wait, these already came out? Yep. Nike dropped the first batch of Air Force 1 Sage Hi boots in 2018. The brand released them in several colorways, including classic black-and-white, which Jorja Smith wore in a Nike campaign.

And before that, Nike released the SF Air Force 1 High boots in 2017. It was essentially a more military-style take with extra rugged details like ropes. NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo rocked a pair.

The year is now 2026, and the Air Force 1 Sage is officially back in time for the cooler weather. It lands with the usual leather uppers, Swoosh-stamped buckle, and those unmistakable thick Air-branded soles, all the tools to get you through the season (and an alien combat mission). But this time, it's all blacked out.
