Now this is what a rapper’s Air Force 1 collab is supposed to look like. Continuing a Nike partnership that’s seen rapper Central Cee collab on a pair of 110s (that’s Air Max 95s for you wastemen Yanks across the pond) and a beet-colored Air Force 1, the British star is keeping up Nike’s Y2K return to patent leather. Cee is adding subdued colors and a bit of shine to his latest AF1 colorway.
The Central Cee x Nike Air Force 1 Low Black Light Smoke Grey stays true to classic Air Force 1 colorblocking, adding black patent leather to the toe, lace, and heel panel, with smoke grey patent leather filling in the rest of the upper on the toebox, side panels, and heel tab. The tongue and laces are also grey, with a hit of white leather added on the side panel Swooshes for a bit of contrast.
To complete the two-tone mix, the midsole is done in more black, and the outsole switches back to grey, with a grey AF-1 lace dubrae and Central Cee’s graffiti halo logo embroidered in white on the lateral heel. Of course, when you think of Central Cee and Nike, his collabs take a back seat to his claims that he popularized the Nike Tech sweatsuit. It’s not a tech, but the new Forces get a Central Cee-branded black and grey sweatsuit to match.
The Central Cee x Nike Air Force 1 Low Black Light Smoke Grey 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 $130. For all the latest Nike collab news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
