The Nike SB Air Force 1 is Launching with a Friends & Family Colorway for Skate Shop Owners

Nike SB took skate shop owners on a field trip to Oregon this week, and in addition to a bowl demo from team rider Grant Taylor and more, the shop owners were gifted an exclusive pair of the upcoming Nike SB Air Force 1 Low in a pink suede colorway that isn’t slated for public release.

The Nike SB Air Force 1 Low Friends & Family Skate Shop Exclusive was posted to social media by the teams at Homegrown Skateshop in Ithaca, NY, and the squad from Bluetile Skateshop in South Carolina. The soft pink suede upper is paired with thick pink laces, a white midsole, and a clean gum outsole.

We’ve been anticipating the Nike SB Air Force 1 retool for nearly a year now, with sneak previews of triple-black wear test pairs and a three-pack of monochrome and two-tone suede pairs in navy and black, chocolate brown and black, and wheat tan. In addition to those three colorways, the shoe is debuting in a Light Orewood colorway covered in creamy off-white suede.

From what we’ve heard, the soft pink suede pair is a friends & family exclusive reserved for skate shop owners on the trip to Nike headquarters, so if you didn’t eat lunch at the cafeteria in Beaverton today, this pair isn’t for you.
