Supreme x Nike Air Force 1 Drops March 5

After getting a first glimpse of the collaboration on Valentine’s Day, the latest Supreme x Nike Air Force 1 collaboration is here.
Supreme and Nike have been collaborating for close to two decades and in that time, they’ve worked on the iconic Air Force 1 five times. While four of the previous five collaborations featured bold, unmistakable branding, the latest version keeps things about as tame as possible. Outside of a debossed box logo on the heel, optional all-over print shoe laces and a printed box logo on the insole, the shoe is indistinguishable from the original version.
While some may be confused as to why Supreme, a brand that many see as more brash than bashful, would release such a minimal collaboration, the answer is right on the surface. The Nike Air Force 1 Low (particularly the all white colorway) is a New York staple and Supreme opting to make it part of its history makes perfect sense. In an unforeseen turn of events, Supreme has stated that the shoes will be “restocked regularly throughout seasons”, making it the first Supreme x Nike collaboration fans will have a good chance of simply walking into the store and picking up, the same way many of us have purchased Air Force 1 Lows since 1982.
The Supreme x Nike Air Force 1 Low will be available this Thursday, March 5, at Supreme’s US, European and online stores. It will be released on March 7 in Japan. Be sure to check Grailed shortly after 11 AM as items make their way to the Hype marketplace.
