Nike loves a holiday-themed sneaker, but few permanent dates on the calendar carry as much history in Beaverton as Easter. Since the early 2000s, Nike has been bringing the holiday’s pastel color blocking to the Air Force 1 in bright, shiny patent leather mixes. Perfect for matching a brunch polo or a new outfit at dinner with extended family, Easter Forces are a staple of the Nike catalog.

A decorated egg is cracked open on the tongue labels and insoles for some holiday branding. Even when Nike has skipped the traditional patent leather paneling, the brand has been dedicated to the idea of pastel Forces, with last year giving us pairs of woven and textured leather AF1s for Easter. This year, the pastels are expanding past the Forces, with a matching pair of Dunks joining the cracked egg colorway.
The Nike Air Force 1 Easter will be released March 27, 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in full-family sizing, the retail prices are set at $125 (adult), $100 (GS), $80 (PS), and $65 (TD). For all the latest Nike holiday drops, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
