Rumored: Scarr's Pizza x Nike Air Force 1 Low Resurfaces
A fresh sample of the long-dormant Scarr's Pizza x Nike Air Force 1 Low collaboration has emerged, suggesting a potential wider release may be in motion. The updated design reflects the Lower East Side pizzeria's move to a new address, keeping the core aesthetic of the original 2019 friends-and-family version intact.

A Collaboration That Never Quite Left
The Scarr's Pizza x Nike Air Force 1 Low occupies a peculiar corner of sneaker lore—a collaboration so limited it became almost mythological. Created in 2019 in partnership with DJ Clark Kent, the original friends-and-family release remained largely inaccessible to the broader market. Now, nearly six years later, newly surfaced imagery of an updated sample suggests Nike may finally be considering a retail drop.
Design Details
The reimagined sample stays faithful to the original's identity while making one meaningful adjustment. The upper maintains the pebbled white leather construction that defined the 2019 version, paired with mismatched double-layer Swooshes—a signature design flourish that gives each shoe's lateral and medial sides distinct visual weight. Scarr's Pizza branding appears along the lateral panel, with custom graphics preserved on the interior.
The critical update concerns the shoe's tongue graphic: where the original read "22 Orchard," the new sample reflects "35 Orchard," the pizzeria's current location following its 2023 relocation across the street on the Lower East Side. This detail matters beyond nostalgia—it signals intentionality in the design refresh and suggests serious development work behind the scenes.
The sample appears to retain the standard Air Force 1 '07 construction, eschewing the retro early-2000s silhouette shape that Nike recently revived for select Air Force 1 releases.
The Path to Resurrection
Release chatter first intensified in 2024, though DJ Clark Kent—the collaborator instrumental to the original's creation—publicly disputed those reports at the time. The narrative shifted in May 2025 when Scarr Pimentel, the pizzeria's namesake owner, was photographed wearing an unreleased black colorway at the Complex Family Style Food Fest, reigniting speculation among collectors.
The emergence of this white sample, complete with the updated address detail, carries considerably more weight than previous rumors. It suggests the collaboration has moved beyond conceptual stage into tangible sample production.
