Most spring rotations trend bright, but this pair moves inversely. Nike goes muted here, allowing texture to shine over color. The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Dark Sky Blue” delivers a toned down finish that seems more purposeful than timely.
A full nubuck upper coats the shoe for a soft, brushed texture. Light shifts across the surface and creates subtle variation, which keeps the Dark Sky Blue tone from looking flat. Panels stay consistent from toe to heel, and that decision keeps the design clean without needing sharp contrast.
Darker hits land on the Swoosh and heel tab in Dark Blue Grey, adding just enough separation. The material matches the upper’s soft finish, so nothing feels out of place. Underfoot, a tonal rubber sole anchors the build, complete with the familiar circular traction pattern that defines the model.
Nike continues to lean into material-driven updates instead of louder color stories. That approach gives classic silhouettes like this more range without changing their identity.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Dark Sky Blue” releases Spring 2026 for $140 via Nike.com and select retailers.
