While the Air Force 1 buzz may have cooled off some in recent years as attention has turned to slimmer silhouettes such as the Adidas Samba and Puma Speedcat, Nike’s early 1980s basketball shoe is the sort of timeless sneaker that transcends trends. One pair in particular, the white-on-white Air Force 1 Low, is among the most iconic shoes of all time, and Nike will be treating it to a premium update for spring 2025.
Official Nike product images of a premium all-white Air Force 1 Low have surfaced in a mixed-material design reminiscent of the brand’s mash-up “What the” styles. Each panel on the upcoming Air Force 1 Low makes use of a different material, although unlike many of the brand’s “What the” concepts, the pair features matching left and right shoes.

Materials include a woven leather toe box reminiscent of a 2003 made-in-Italy release and a heel which could be a reference to 2007’s ultra-rare Lux colorway, which was released for the model’s 25th anniversary for a retail price of $2,000 and featured real crocodile skin. While premium, the leathers used on the upcoming iteration aren’t as exotic, resulting in far closer-to-standard pricing.
Other highlights on the new Air Force 1 Low include tumbled, perforated and patent leathers and a recycled rubber outsole. Also of note is the silver dubrae, which features a Swoosh in place of the usual “AF1” text.
Considered by many to be the most significant Air Force 1 style, the white-on-white Low was originally introduced to the market during the 1990s, although its exact time of arrival isn’t clearly documented.
As of publishing, the multi-material “White/White/White” Nike Air Force 1 Low is expected to be released early ’25 at a retail price of $130.
