The silhouette is one of the most famous Nike colorways from the early 2000s. This re-release is part of Nike’s ongoing effort to bring back some of its much-acclaimed classics that continue to excite sneaker enthusiasts worldwide.

First launched in 2005, the Air Force 1 Low “Escape” sneakers gained popularity for its earthy tones and premium materials. Now, 20 years later, Nike is reportedly reintroducing the silhouette with its original design intact.


How might the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Escape” sneakers look?

The 2025 edition of the Air Force 1 Low “Escape” stays true to the design elements that made it a hit two decades ago. The colorway is labeled White/ Black - Bison. Other speculated details are as follows:

  • Upper material: The upper features a mix of materials, including smooth white leather for the base. Light brown suede overlays wrap around the mudguard and eye stays, while darker brown suede graces the heel, adding contrast to the overall design of the upcoming shoes.
  • Swoosh and branding: A black Nike Swoosh cuts through the design, providing a bold touch. Red branding accents on the tongue and heel add a pop of color against the neutral tones.
  • Midsole and outsole: The sneaker sits on a white midsole that complements the upper, paired with a durable black rubber outsole for traction.
  • Laces and lace dubrae: Dark brown laces tie the design together, while a golden lace dubrae at the vamp has been featured.

The overall aesthetic balances earthy tones with modern features. Thus, the Air Force 1 Low “Escape” sneakers are expected to be easy to pair with a variety of outfits.

Nike describes its Air Force 1 sneaker line on its official website, stating:

"Inspired by traditional crafting and a desire to reintroduce the human element into shoe construction, Nike and Jacquemus created the J Force 1. Notes were taken from Nike Considered, the early-2000s project known for using minimal glue as a means to lessen the environmental impact of footwear production."

It also adds:

"All of this hypothetical influence resulted in a shoe that looks equally at home in an art museum as it does in the outside world."

The exact release date of Air Force 1 Low “Escape” sneakers has yet to be confirmed. Fans can keep an eye on the official pages for more updates.
