Nike Air Force 1 Vibram
The Air Force 1 has spent more than four decades proving it belongs almost anywhere. Now Nike takes the iconic silhouette back to one of the ideas that helped shape it. Originally inspired in part by the Nike Approach hiking boot, Bruce Kilgore's legendary design returns with a rugged update featuring a durable textile upper and a Vibram outsole built to tackle terrain beyond the pavement. Nike Air cushioning preserves the everyday comfort that made the AF1 a cultural icon, while the trail-ready sole adds dependable traction for mountain hikes, weekend escapes, and everything in between. It is a fitting evolution for Nike's best-selling sneaker, reminding us that the Air Force 1 has always been built to explore beyond the court.

Nike V5 RNR
Not every sneaker has to chase the next big innovation. Sometimes the right choice is the one you reach for every morning. Nike's V5 RNR leans into the layered aesthetics of early-2000s running shoes while prioritizing everyday comfort over race-day performance. A breathable mesh upper paired with synthetic leather overlays deliver a technical look, accented by metallic details and a signature 3D Swoosh. Underfoot, a chunky yet lightweight foam midsole and plush collar cushioning keep long days comfortable, while a rubber outsole with Y2K-inspired grooves provides dependable traction. Designed for daily wear while retaining athletic performance, the V5 RNR proves that retro design still belongs in the everyday rotation.
