Nike Air Force 1 Low Knicks Restocking NYC Retailers
The Nike Air Force 1 Low in Knicks colorway is receiving a second retail allocation following swift sellout at the brand's SoHo flagship. Select New York retailers will stock the Orange/Rush Blue iteration on May 23, with retail pricing set at $130.
By Marcus Chen
Nike's latest bid to align with New York's basketball momentum arrives through a reissue of the Air Force 1 Low—a silhouette that has become synonymous with the city's sneaker culture. The initial SoHo store release moved swiftly, pushing secondary market prices well above retail as resellers capitalized on limited availability.
The design draws its visual language directly from Knicks iconography: Safety Orange dominates the leather upper, balanced by Rush Blue Swooshes that carry the team's secondary palette. Gum Medium Brown outsoles ground the composition—a nod to classic '90s and early 2000s Air Force 1 construction. The execution prioritizes material quality; the leather demonstrates the refined hand-feel that separates premium releases from baseline production.
Brand ownership is marked through repeated Nike NYC logos applied across the backtab, tongue, insoles, and lace dubrae—a localized touch that reinforces the shoe's geographic specificity and limited nature.
Release Details
Nike has partnered with select Manhattan retailers to expand access on May 23, 2026. The shoe carries a $130 retail price, positioning it within standard Air Force 1 pricing despite the localized design language and construction quality. Early indicators suggest this restock will move quickly given the colorway's market reception and the cultural moment surrounding professional basketball in the city.
