This summer, you couldn’t escape soccer shoes. From classic cleats encased in clear soles from both adidas and Nike to soccer-themed remixes and quilted uppers from across the industry, the World Cup hype was real. The soccer-themed kicks didn’t disappear after Spain secured the trophy, though, and as we get closer to the end of the year, Nike is bringing back its national football association collabs. This time, it's to mark the start of the historic partnership with the German Football Association (DFB).
The Nike Air Force 1 Low German Football Association continues a collection that started earlier this year with Forces for the USA and Mexico. The World Cup also featured national team collabs from adidas across the globe, and from the looks of it, the soccer-friendly collabs aren’t stopping anytime soon.

The German team Forces start with a patent grey leather on the toe, lace, and heel panels, with crisp white leather filling in the toebox, tongue, and side panels in between. The midsole switches to black, with a translucent outsole covered in black graphics. Last but not least, a German flag tag flies from the heel, with a German Football Association logo on the left heel.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low German Football Association will be released Spring 2027 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $150. For all the latest Nike Air Force 1 news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
