Yuto Horigome’s Nike SB Air Force 1 Low has appeared in sample form, revealing an alternate version of his upcoming collaboration. The pair keeps the skate-ready Air Force 1 build intact while swapping the expected green accents for a golden yellow finish.
The looksee sample features a clean light grey and off-white upper with mesh side panels, leather overlays, and a slightly aged midsole. Yellow covers the Swoosh, inner lining, and heel strip, giving the shoe a warmer look than the version expected to release. A black outsole adds contrast, while SB branding appears on the tongue.
Horigome’s personal details remain part of the design. His cross-feather logo appears near the lateral heel, while the back tab features a red Swoosh layered over a large “7” graphic. The sample tag also lists the product code IO8439-100, adding another early detail for collectors following the project.
The public Yuto Horigome x Nike SB Air Force 1 Low is still expected to release during Holiday 2026. That launch pair is believed to feature grey accents instead of the yellow hits shown here.
Sample pairs often show how much a sneaker changes before production. This Yuto Horigome Nike SB Air Force 1 Low sample gives fans a rare look at what could have been before the final version arrives later this year.
