Name: Nike Air Force 1 Low “Team USA”
Colorway: White/University Red-University Red-Midnight Navy
SKU: IQ0407-100
MSRP: $125 USD
Release Date: March 23
Where to Buy: Nike

Nike continues to build anticipation for the 2026 World Cup with the upcoming arrival of the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Team USA.” Set to drop as global football attention builds, the release blends the heritage of the iconic 1982 basketball silhouette with patriotic detailing that proudly nods to the United States’ presence on the world stage.

The sneaker keeps its foundational aesthetic clean and classic, starting with a crisp white leather upper that mirrors the timeless look the model has carried for decades. This minimal base allows the patriotic elements to command attention while maintaining everyday versatility. The most striking visual detail arrives on the profile Swooshes, which feature a premium metallic navy finish that subtly shifts in the light.

A darker navy tone continues through the heel strip, tying the design together while keeping the palette firmly rooted in a red, white, and blue theme. At the rear, embroidered “USA” shield logos are positioned on the heel tabs, resembling classic national soccer crests to reinforce the World Cup inspiration. Traditional Nike Air branding appears on the tongue and midsole, while an all-white sole unit keeps the footwear grounded in familiar territory.
