Nike has teamed up with the New York Knicks to introduce the latest installment of the brand’s NY vs. NY series, showcasing a special edition Air Force 1 Low. The collaboration seems to have brought good luck to the team, as they secured a victory in Game 1 against the Pistons – perhaps thanks to the fresh footwear.
As the boroughs-based streetball tournament gears up for its seventh year, Nike has crafted a unique Air Force 1 Low to commemorate the return of this influential hoops circuit, which highlights the emerging talent in the sport. The 2025 Air Force 1 Low “NY vs. NY” boasts a classic summer-friendly color scheme, with a white upper complemented by pastel tones on the interior, a translucent outsole, and alternate Swoosh colors. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant cultures and traditions found only in NYC parks during the summer, the design captures the essence of the city, from ice cream trucks to nutcracker coolers.
Scheduled for release in Summer 2025, this special edition Air Force 1 Low will be accompanied by limited-edition t-shirts, apparel, and more, adding to the excitement of the NY vs. NY series. New York Knicks players Karl Anthony-Towns and Miles McBride were the first to debut these shoes, stepping onto the court at the Garden before the series opener.
Overall, this collaboration between Nike and the New York Knicks not only celebrates the spirit of streetball in the city but also pays homage to the unique styles and traditions that define NYC summers. Stay tuned for the release of the Air Force 1 Low “NY vs. NY” and immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of New York City, one step at a time with Skidge.
