Nike SB is bringing four skate shops from around the world together for a new Air Force 1 “City Pack,” giving each retailer its own colorway tied to its local scene.
The project brings together Instant from Japan, Fly Streetwear from China, Nocturnal from the United States, and Ben-G from the Netherlands. Each shop receives a limited version of the Nike SB Air Force 1 with its branding embroidered on the lateral heel, while a non-branded version of each colorway will receive a wider release in its respective region.
The four colorways cover a range of palettes. Fly Streetwear gets Photon Dust with University Gold, Instant opts for Black with Game Royal, Nocturnal pairs Cool Grey with Court Green, and Ben-G rounds out the pack with Light Chocolate and Court Purple.
The Ben-G release is the first to arrive, with just 300 pairs produced featuring the shop’s round logo embroidered on the heel. The limited version will be available exclusively through Ben-G, with an in-store release scheduled for October 10 at 11am CET followed by an online release on October 11 at 12:01am CET. The same Light Chocolate and Court Purple colorway, minus the Ben-G branding, will arrive at select skate shops throughout EMEA later in October.
The “City Pack” takes inspiration from Nike’s original Color of the Month program, which dates back to 1984 and helped keep the Air Force 1 alive through a series of limited, retailer-driven colorways. The original program became known for simple two-tone combinations and jewel Swooshes, turning regional releases into some of the most sought-after versions of the silhouette.
The Nike SB Air Force 1 “City Pack” will roll out between Holiday 2026 and Spring 2027, with the Ben-G colorway kicking things off in October. Additional release details for Instant, Fly Streetwear, and Nocturnal are expected to follow. Grab a look at each pair below and stay tuned to Modern Notoriety for updates on the other three colorways.
