Nike has revealed official images of the Air Force 1 Low Pony Hair in an Atomic Violet colorway

The low-top sneaker features extra-long fuzzy material in Atomic Violet and Hyper Purple across the upper and sole

Name: Nike Air Force 1 Low Pony Hair “Atomic Violet”
Colorway: Atomic Violet/White-Voltage Purple
SKU: IR1940-500
MSRP: $140 USD
Release Date: November 20, 2026
Where to Buy: Nike

Footwear giant Nike has officially revealed the Air Force 1 Low Pony Hair “Atomic Violet,” bringing a bold, tactile transformation to the classic basketball silhouette. Following an early teaser, the hairy low-top follows a previously surfaced orange colorway, going all-in on an energetic purple palette that highlights an unconventional material story for the iconic lifestyle model.

While the recognizable shape of the Air Force 1 Low remains faithful to the original design underneath all that texture, the construction departs radically from standard smooth leather. The entire shoe is enveloped in an extra-long fuzzy material, lending the exterior panels a distinctly rougher and more dimensional appearance compared to conventional leather editions.

The vibrant theme is executed through a tonal pairing of Atomic Violet and Hyper Purple, fully saturating the textured upper, overlays, and rubber sole unit. Because the rich purple palette extends across nearly the entire sneaker, there is very little contrast between sections, keeping the spotlight focused directly on the fuzzy construction and distinctive hairy finish.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Pony Hair “Atomic Violet” releases November 20, 2026, in men’s sizing for $140 USD via Nike SNKRS and select retailers.
