Nike Air Force 1 Low Patent Suede Pack Releases July 1
Nike is rolling out a women's-focused Air Force 1 Low pack that experiments with mixed materials across two monochrome takes. The Patent Suede collection pairs glossy patent leather with soft suede on the upper, arriving in University Red and Black colorways on July 1.
By Jordan Ellis
The Air Force 1 Low remains Nike's most versatile canvas for design experimentation, and this forthcoming pack demonstrates why. Rather than committing to a single material across the upper, the Patent Suede collection introduces textural contrast as its defining feature—a deliberate choice that elevates the silhouette beyond standard monotone releases.
Design & Execution
The construction splits the upper between high-shine patent leather and matte suede, creating visual and tactile interest across both colorways. The University Red/Metallic Silver-Tough Red version offers warmth through its primary hue while metallic accents catch light along the heel and collar. The Black/Metallic Silver-Anthracite alternative maintains the material dialogue in a neutral palette, letting the patent-versus-suede contrast speak without color distraction.
Both pairs retain the Air Force 1 Low's essential proportions—clean lines, minimal branding, and that iconic rubber toe cap—ensuring the mixed-material approach feels intentional rather than gimmicky. The women's-exclusive positioning underscores Nike's continued focus on gender-specific silhouette drops, a strategy that has proven commercially viable across the broader sneaker market.
