British rapper Central Cee once claimed to have popularized the Nike Tech track suit. However misguided he may be about his influence on leisurewear, the Londoner is fully tied in with Beaverton, and after collabing on an Air Max 95 colorway last year, the “BAND4BAND” rapper is back for another drop with the Swoosh, this time on a pack of Air Force 1s dropping in 2026.
The first colorway of Central Cee Forces previewed in an artistic mock-up is a monochrome pale mauve pair dubbed “UK” that will presumably only be dropping across the pond. The entire stucco pink shoe is covered in the Dark Beetroot color, with a texture that looks like it was dipped in paint, laces and all. Central Cee’s halo logo is added to the lateral heel in gold, but we have only seen a quick preview of the shoe, so we’re not sure yet if there’s more collab branding on the tongue label or insole.
In addition to the UK exclusive beetroot pair, Cee is expected to drop a global release colorway of his AF1 collab in a more neutral black, white, and grey colorway. Air Force 1s have always been known as a rapper shoe, and after Yachty and Drake pairs in the recent past, Central Cee is continuing the rap collab theme on the lifestyle classic.
The Central Cee x Nike Air Force 1 UK will be released Spring 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $150.
