Starting with an otherwise white upper and midsole, each shoe features an orange Swoosh on the medial side and blue on the lateral. The Nike NYC logo is embroidered in the two colors on the tongue tag and mustache, as is the year 2026 in varsity script on the lateral heel. Tiny orange Swooshes sit at the U-throat, and a pixelated interior shot of Madison Square Garden during a Knicks game appears on the insole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAdding to the shoe\u2019s appeal is that it\u2019s given the 2001 proportions that Nike has revived this year and have been revered by collectors. Said to be more true to how the Air Force 1 Low appeared even further back in the \u201980s, the layout features a sleeker toe box, rounded heels, lower stature and more structured paneling. The quality of leather is also superior, which brings up the price moderately.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOutside of the Snkrs app, the Knicks-themed AF1s were only made available to preorder through boutiques local to New York City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/tag\/nike-air-force-1-low\/\" id=\"auto-tag_nike-air-force-1-low\" data-tag=\"nike-air-force-1-low\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nike Air Force 1 Low<\/a> \u201901 \u201cNYC\u201d doesn\u2019t yet have a firm release date but is expected to drop this fall through Nike\u2019s website and select third-party retailers.
