Patriot Way: Nike Teams Up with New England Patriots for Flyknit Air Force 1

Drake Maye, Stefon Diggs, and the New England Patriots are for real. Sitting atop the AFC East with an 8-2 record, Foxborough is feeling serious Brady and Belichick vibes. With top-seed tendencies comes top-seed gear, and Nike is keeping up its recent NFL merch run with a Patriots Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit with plenty of team branding throughout.

The New England Patriots x Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit is a team-friendly mix of blue, white, and red, with an upper made of blue flyknit, a dark blue detached Swoosh in front of a silver backing, white midsole and laces, and red accents on the lace loops and vamp. Patriots branding is added with “NE” logos on the tongue labels, Patriot head logos on the silver heel tab, Forever branding on the insole, and in a bit of unsurprising self-centeredness, the initials RKK on a silver lace dubrae for team owner Robert Kraft.

Nike has already made waves with NFL fans this year thanks to a pack of team-specific Air Max 90 colorways and a Rivalries pack reimagining jersey colors across the league. Following up on a similar Patriots drop last year, the Patriots Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit is a sure sign the second half of the season will feature just as much Nike team gear as the first. It's also a continuation of Robert Kraft's long-term partnership with The Swoosh, which includes multiple AF1 collabs over the years.

The New England Patriots x Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit will be released Holiday 2025 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $160. For all the latest NFL sneaker news, make sure to download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
