Every year is the year of the Air Force One, but 2026 has already been particularly strong for the classic silhouette. After the announcement of the Camo QS recently, Nike has followed up with another banger but this time it’s much quieter.

The Nike Air Force One Low Suede ‘Paisley/Grey Fog/Metallic Silver’ sticks to what the silhouette does best: understated monochrome colorways, but this time with some added flavor.

This Air Force One comes with a paisley pattern to the upper, but it doesn’t look like you’d expect. Nike has reworked the paisley in tonal Grey Fog suede, making the pattern's hippie vibes feel like a best-kept secret.

As such, the upper features a textured pattern, only visible when up close, leaving the Air Force One’s versatility and styling power to shine from a distance.

The Grey Fog version drops alongside three other iterations of the style in brown, blue, and black, each of which is complete with a tonal sole unit for smooth continuity.

One of the best details for those with a keen eye is that within the paisley pattern, you’ll find the star accents that usually act as grip on the sole unit of the OG Air Force One. Here, they’re recontextualized as a marker of this shoe’s iconic status.

Monochrome Air Force Ones are always popular, but the subtle detailing present in the upcoming paisley pack really puts it on another level and is sure to grab the attention of the sneaker world.
