Nike is set to reintroduce their iconic ‘Linen’ Air Force 1 this Spring, marking a return after its successful release as part of the Cult Classics series last Summer. Originally launched in 2001 for Nike’s Co.JP line exclusive to Japan, the ‘Linen’ colorway quickly became a sought-after style. It saw a resurgence with a special release at Kith’s Miami store opening in 2016, culminating in a global release the previous year, allowing fans from around the world to enjoy this timeless design.
This upcoming version will feature a lightweight canvas upper, moving away from the traditional leather construction, while still retaining the signature soft pink leather Swooshes. Fans can also look forward to a matching pair of the Air Max 1 that will accompany this release, creating a cohesive style statement.
Although specific details about the release date are yet to be revealed, it is anticipated for Spring 2025. The soft tan and pink color scheme will likely be available through Nike and select retailers. This promising drop continues to build on the legacy of the AF1, ensuring the ‘Linen’ style remains a staple in sneaker culture.
