Name: Nike Air Force 1 Low “Game Day”
Colorway: Malachite/University Gold-Gum Medium Brown-Coconut Milk
SKU: IV5685-365
Retail Price: $125 USD
Release Date: June 20, 2026
Where to Buy: Nike

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Game Day” is officially slated to join the brand’s extensive lifestyle lineup as part of a broader seasonal roll-out. Arriving as a standout entry within an upcoming Nike Sportswear capsule, this freshly revealed colorway leverages archival aesthetic choices to honor the deep-seated connection between traditional athletic apparel and contemporary street fashion.

Reintroducing the highly favored 2001 shape of the iconic presidential silhouette, the low-top sneaker pairs classic performance roots with an elevated combination of textures and tones. The upper utilizes vibrant “Malachite” green leather bases that are sharply contrasted by premium matching suede overlays distributed across the paneling. Adding further dimension to the sports-centric layout are carefully positioned accents dressed in “University Gold,” “Coconut Milk,” and “Gum Medium Brown” hues.

Beyond the colorway choices, the design elements provide a subtle nod to subcultural sneaker history. The distinct color-blocking scheme draws strong visual comparisons to the mythical and irreverent Menthol 10s crafted by designer Ari Saal Forman back in 2006. Rounding out the curated packaging, each pair comes equipped with a specialized basketball-shaped charm hanging from the lacing system, cementing its thematic alignment with vintage basketball culture.
