Nike started out with a holy trio in 1972. The bold businessman Phil Knight, his former college track coach, Bill Bowerman, and the legendary athlete Steve Prefontaine. However, even as the brand grew and became a significant force, Nike adhered faithfully to their fundamental formula for the past 50 years, combining cutting-edge innovation and astute industrialism. As we venture into the new age of Air Force 1 collaborations, let's take a look at 15 of the best Nike Air Force 1 team-ups of all time. Note: This article reflects the writer’s opinion. Comment with your feedback to let us know which other pairs deserve to be on the list.
1) Supreme x Nike Air Force 1 Low

The Supreme x Nike Air Force 1 "Triple White" is the first item in our list. This partnership keeps things simple, rather than concentrating on flamboyant designs, by sticking to the original Air Force 1 style and subtly adding the Supreme Logo to the rear heel.
2) Travis Scott x Air Force 1 Low "Cactus Jack"

The Air Force 1 "Cactus Jack" was released in 2019. Because of its iconic design and material utilization, this makes the cut. Adding some variation, the "Cactus Jack" is composed of a variety of high-end fabrics, including leather, canvas, suede, and corduroy. Additionally, it has a striking mismatched pattern in complementary tones.
3) Louis Vuitton x Air Force 1 Low 'Monogram Damier' Pilot Case

This footwear genuinely altered the game. The French fashion brand attracted attention at Louis Vuitton's Spring-Summer 22 Fashion Show not only for its striking apparel but also for its footwear selection. Virgil Abloh, the show's creative director, showcased AF1s in the opulent LV house style.
4) Playstation x Air Force 1

Only 150 original Playstation x Nike Air Force 1s were produced, making them the rarest shoe on our list. These pairs were distributed in collaboration with Sony in 2006 to mark the launch of the PlayStation 3. The console's style is mirrored in the sleek black patent leather top and the embroidered 'PS' emblem on the heel. Be ready to spend a few thousand dollars, depending on size, if you want to get a pair of these sneakers. These are rumored to return in 2025!
5) Stussy x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Fossil Stone"

Nike and Stussy are known for releasing some of the most sought-after sneakers and streetwear launches ever. The two once again surpassed expectations with their 2020 release, becoming one of the year's top releases. The hemp top of the Stussy Air Force 1 "Fossil Stone" is a highly wearable light colorway. The Stussy insignia is seen on the rear heel tab, while the top is primarily kept basic and clean.
6) Comme des Garcons x Nike Air Force 1 Mid White

The Comme des Garcons x Nike Air Force 1 Mid White, first introduced at Paris Fashion Week, presents a cutting-edge interpretation of this staple piece of streetwear. The quality of these shoes is exceptional because they are made of premium leather and have rough edges for a deconstructed look. Even with the unconventional upper, the Nike Air midsole keeps the sneaker comfortable and durable.
7) G-Dragon Peaceminusone Para-Noise 3.0 x Nike Air Force 1 Low

The 2020 release of the Nike Air Force 1 "Para-Noise" is our favorite of the shoes that K-Pop star G-Dragon has collaborated with Nike to create. It came in a painted white colorway a year after the pair's initial joint venture. Behind the simple white top lies a piece of G-Dragon art.
8) Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low "University Gold"

Virgil Abloh collaborated with the Swoosh brand on another AF1, adding to the already extensive Nike x Off-White partnership. To honor his exhibition at the ICA Boston Museum, this extremely limited-edition sneaker was exclusively made available. This is the most striking Air Force 1 colorway, with a silver swoosh contrasting with a vivid University Gold upper.
9) Carhartt WIP x Air Force 1 '07 Premium "Ale Brown"

Although streetwear and workwear frequently collide, our favorites are always the Carhartt x Nike partnerships. The Carhartt Air Force 1 "Ale Brown" design embodies the pair's joint effort. The ideal fall trainer is created by combining two of the most recognizable design elements from both brands. Carhartt's iconic duck canvas is combined with Nike's iconic AF1 silhouette to produce a rigid, long-lasting version of this timeless sneaker.
10) Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Air Force 1 Low "White"

Cactus Plant Flea Market is endorsed by names like Travis Scott, Kanye West, and several others. Taking the beloved all-white colorway to the next level, the CPFM x Nike AF1 "White Light Bone" stands out. The word 'SUNSHINE' is embroidered across the top, adding a funky touch.
11) Kith x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Hawaii"

One of the numerous KITH collaborations on the AF1 would be impossible not to add to a comprehensive list. The delicate details and vivid blue accents that are used throughout make the KITH Air Force 1 "Hawaii" a must-have for an OG look.
12) Nike Air Force 1 Low "Rocafella"

Telling a tale is often all that is necessary to produce a striking colorway, and the Air Force 1 "Rocafella" is no exception. Kareem "Biggs" Burke, the creator of Roc-A-Fella, decided against using any ostentatious designs to stay faithful to his personal recollections of wearing AF1s. Instead, he decided to just include what was significant to him—his record label's emblem on the shoe's heel.
13) Nike Lunar Force 1 Acronym 17

Errolson Hugh's modern techwear version of the Nike classic, which was released in conjunction with the 35th anniversary of the Air Force 1, is a fan favorite. The central feature that grabs attention to this innovative silhouette is the full-length zipper, but pay particular attention to the small elements that really set this sneaker apart.
14) Nike Air Force 1 Low "Travis Scott"

In celebration of the legendary silhouette's 35th anniversary, Nike's celebratory AF100 collection featured Travis Scott's customized Air Force 1 sneaker, which was launched on December 5th, 2017. This slightly off-white shoe variant attracted as much attention as the original. Except for the canvas upper's color, every single feature is identical, including the reinforced stitching and gum bottom outsole.
15) Mayumi Yamase x Nike Men's Air Force 1 "Flyleather"

A straightforward white background served as the ideal drawing surface for this pair, first launched in June 2021. By adding subdued, rust-brown hues to the lateral Swoosh, Mayumi Yamase completely modified her existing design. Additionally, the shoe is accentuated by dense indigo embroidery.
