A Nike SB x Air Force 1 Could Be On the Way

The took the scene by storm last year, and last week it was reported that a could be in the works, so it's no surprise that more Swoosh icons could soon be getting the same treatment. The latest rumours are that Bruce Kilgore’s is gearing up to hit the skatepark, with sample versions surfacing over the weekend ahead of a supposed 2025 drop date.

According to Sneaker Files, the 1982 hooper-turned-lifestyle-icon will be dropping in a skate-ready form next year, although early sample versions of the style initially did the rounds in the 2010s when they were gifted to pro skaters. Most of these saw uppers get paired with AF1 soles, but imagery from @sbcollector suggests that the 2025 version retains the usual AF-1 build. The account has showcased images of a sample pair, which features a multi-layered upper and textured panelling, as well as branding at the tongue. There’s a high chance that the shoe could feature a Zoom Air unit in the sole, and that the sole and outsole will be slightly reworked to make it more suitable for skating, with a grippier finish and better ride feel.

As it stands, Nike are still yet to confirm details of the Nike SB x Air Force 1, but you can check out images of the sample pair right here in the meantime. As always, stay tuned for more details as they come in.
