Nike has officially unveiled the Nike Air Force 1 Low Vibram pack, bringing an aggressive, outdoor-ready edge to the legendary Bruce Kilgore design in the colorways of “Pencil Point,” “Summit White,” and a vibrant “Silt Red.”

Preserving the unmistakable shape of the 1982 classic, the latest iteration introduces a massive shift underfoot. The traditional sole unit has been entirely swapped out for Vibram’s signature high-performance rubber traction, complete with a rugged tread pattern built for supreme grip and durability. A recognizable yellow Vibram badge marks the heel, adding a subtle hit of contrast against the tonal sole.

Up top, the standard all-leather construction is replaced by ripstop-style grid textiles, giving the sneaker a technical and lightweight feel. Smooth leather Swooshes and nylon tongues maintain a structural connection to the model’s heritage, while tonal laces complete the utilitarian design approach. The upcoming lineup includes a stealthy “Pencil Point” and Off Noir mix, a clean “Summit White” and Light Bone makeup, and a vibrant “Silt Red” offering accented with Light Violet Ore.
