Original Story (01/13/26): UK rapper Central Cee and his label, Syna World, are back with a new collaboration with Nike for Spring 2026. After dropping a Tech Fleece set and Air Max 95 back in 2024, Cench now reveals his upcoming Air Force 1 project, releasing alongside a co-branded jacket and matching track pants.
Teased by Central Cee on his latest Instagram post, the upcoming SYNA apparel collection is minimal yet statement-making, with grey, white, and black defining the color palette of the street-ready sweats, in line with the rapper’s signature London uniform.
Still, it’s the footwear that has fans clamoring. Cench has shared a look at one of his upcoming SYNA Air Force 1s, giving followers a preview of a premium grey-and-black colorway that aligns perfectly with the upcoming SYNA palette.
The teased AF1 sticks to a sleek two-tone look, pairing black patent leather across the toe, laces, and heel panels with smoke grey patent leather covering the rest of the upper. The contrast continues underfoot, with a black midsole grounding the design while the outsole flips back to grey. Finishing it off, Central Cee’s graffiti-style SYNA logo is embroidered in white on the lateral heel, adding a subtle but unmistakable signature touch.
This is one of three rumored colorways of the SYNA x Nike Air Force 1. The black and grey pair is joined by a “Dark Beetroot” colorway that is said to be UK-exclusive, first teased at ComplexCon 2025 with a plaster statue on display at the SYNA booth. Meanwhile, the third colorway in Black, Opti Yellow, and Racer Blue (IQ1402-010) is expected to be most limited of them all, possibly even friends-and-family exclusive.
The Central Cee x Nike Air Force 1 and apparel collection is slated to drop Spring 2026, likely via Nike.com and select retailers. Check out the preview below and stay tuned to Modern Notoriety for more.
