TUNE and Nike Take the Air Force 1 Back to Canvas with Wardrobe Unlocked Collab

It’s not even summer, but the Air Force 1 might be Nike’s shoe of the year. The classic silhouette has been remade as a skate shoe to near-unanimous praise, brought back to patent leather like stepping into a time machine to a Nelly video, and featured in collabs with the likes of Kobe Bryant and NIGO. For the latest Air Force 1 collab, Nike is heading to Korea for a waxed canvas rendition from sneaker boutique TUNE.

While Nike’s in-line catalog focuses on the early 2000s with its bright summer-ready patent leather packs, TUNE is taking things back a little further to the 1990s, when the preferred sneaker in Seoul was a pair of canvas low-top Forces. Keeping things monochrome, TUNE adds a full foot of dark army green canvas that looks almost grey.

Released under the moniker Wardrobe Unlocked, TUNE designed the collab to feel like a deadstock pair brought out of basement storage or unearthed in a vintage store. A vintage-style silver lace dubrae is added for more throwback energy, and the insole adds a green and white paint splatter camo for a slight hit of color.

The TUNE x Nike Air Force 1 Wardrobe Unlocked will be released May 1, 2026 through TUNE in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is still TBD. For all the latest Nike Air Force 1 collab news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
