Nike SB AF1 drop dates
Nike unveiled a skate-ready SB Air Force 1 in 'Light Orewood Brown' — it's slated for skate-shop releases on April 17 and a wider SNKRS launch on April 21 (x.com).
Kingswell Los Feliz ran an exclusive first-come, first-served in-store drop of the Nike SB Air Force 1 on February 11, 2026, opening sales at 9:00 a.m. PST and limiting purchases to one pair per person at the listed MSRP of $120. (skateboarding.com) Nike’s SB Air Force 1 carries style code HM8517-100 and has been listed at a $120 retail price across multiple release trackers. (sneakernews.com) Visuals and official photos confirm a low-pile suede upper rendered in a light Orewood/off‑white tone, Pink Foam accenting on the heel, a creamy white midsole, and a gum rubber outsole. (sneakernews.com) Nike SB’s retooling adds skate-specific hardware: a thicker (fatter) padded tongue, wider laces, increased collar padding and a lower footbed aimed at improved board feel and durability. (hypebeast.com) The insole features a rosy graphic that adapts the Uptown’s circular traction pattern and includes a Nike SB stamp, per the first-look image set. (sneakernews.com) Nike and multiple trade outlets state the shoe will be distributed through select skate retailers and Nike’s channels as part of a phased 2026 rollout, and reporting has flagged an additional “Flax” colorway carrying style code HM8517-200. (about.nike.com) (complex.com) Industry coverage frames this as Nike SB’s first widely publicized skate-focused Air Force 1 rework and places the drop alongside other high-profile SB releases timed around 2026 NBA All‑Star Weekend.
