Nike Air Force 1 Low "University Red & Black" releasing in 2026

Nike is launching the Air Force 1 Low "University Red & Black" in Fall 2026, delivering a $125 release that retools classic AF1 lines with stronger contrast and updated branding touches.

Nike has recently published official images of the Nike Air Force 1 Low in the "University Red & Black" makeup, confirming the pair is part of the upcoming Fall 2026 lineup. The blocking stands out through a high-contrast split between the red upper zones and the black detail framework, giving the shoe a more technical look than standard one-tone AF1 executions.

This release carries style code IM5752-600, a reported retail price of $125, and the listed colorway "University Red / Black / Sail / Metallic Silver." University Red leads the base and major overlay fields, while Black sharpens the Swoosh, eyestay boundaries, heel framing, and select panel edges to create the pair’s signature contrast. Sail on the midsole softens the palette break and Metallic Silver details add small pop points around the upper trim and branding accents. Nike also adds a diamond-shaped Nike logo on the heel tab and a square tongue patch up front, two heritage-inspired updates that make this AF1 stand apart from the standard logo package.
