A potential early look at the next Kith x Nike Air Force 1 Low might have just been shared by Ronnie Fieg.
The Kith founder was recently seen with what appears to be a Nike Air Force 1 Low “Reverse Linen”, a new twist on one of the most respected AF1 colorways from the early 2000s. While Nike and Kith have not confirmed the release yet, the pair immediately stands out as a flipped version of the classic “Linen” Air Force 1.
Introduced originally back in 2001, the Nike Air Force 1 “Linen” was a Japan-exclusive colorway. The shoe was later re-released in 2016 with Kith through Art Basel Miami and the launch of Kith Miami. Following this, Nike offered the sneaker a broader global release in 2024, with a “Linen Canvas” iteration appearing in 2025.
This new “Reverse Linen” design switches the familiar shades around. Early images show the soft Linen tone and pink Atmosphere accents trading places across the upper, Swoosh, outsole, and midsole branding. White laces, tongue, sockliner, and midsole keep the look clean while letting the reversed color blocking do most of the work.
Fieg made an appearance with the pair while they were recording the Joe & Jada podcast. As he is heavily involved with New York culture and the Knicks creative director, the photo went viral amongst the internet. He also recently gifted Knicks superfan Fat Joe a pair of the Kith x Nike Air Max 95 inspired by the team.
Nike hasn’t confirmed yet if the Air Force 1 Low “Reverse Linen” will drop as a full Kith collaboration, an exclusive Kith drop, or broader Nike release. A December 2026 release would make sense, as it would mark 10 years since the 2016 Kith “Linen” retro, but that timing has not been confirmed.
Expect further information on the potential Kith x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Reverse Linen” as it becomes available.
