Jordan Release Calendar

The Nike Air Force 1 has seen some of the most hyped collaborations and limited release colorways of any sneaker model in the industry, but at the end of the day, the world’s most revered lifestyle silhouette is all about the staples. From white on whites to black on blacks, the Air Force 1 is at its best as a daily driver that goes with anything. For the colder months, Nike is returning to an AF1 classic, bringing back the Flax in mid-cut form.
The Nike Air Force 1 Mid Flax is a Timberland-inspired wheat colored nubuck Air Force that has been in and out of the Nike catalog for over two decades. Decked out in monochrome tan down to the gum sole, the strapped-up mid features green accents on the vamp, strap, heel, and tongue logos. To complete the outdoor look, the colorway gets a pair of thin hiking rope laces.

Nike has brought the Flax Forces back frequently, and the colorway was featured as low top in Supreme’s basics line in 2021, reinforcing the Flax pair’s place amongst triple white and triple black Forces. What do you think, should Nike always have the Flax Forces available like they do white and black colorways?
The Nike Air Force 1 Mid Flax will be released October 8, 2025 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $145. Keep up with all the latest Nike releases and news on the Sole Retriever mobile app.
