First Look at the Nike Air Force 1 ‘01 “NYC Subway Rat” 🐀
Nike is paying tribute to one of New York City’s most unexpected icons with the upcoming Air Force 1 ‘01 “NYC Subway Rat.” Inspired by the legendary subway rats found throughout the city’s transit system, the pair features the original 2001 Air Force 1 mold, giving it a more classic shape, while shaggy grey suede and soft pink accents reference the rodents’ signature look.
A special Nike MetroCard-inspired hangtag completes the theme, adding another authentic NYC touch. Expected to release during Holiday 2026 for $150, this is easily one of the most creative Air Force 1 concepts we’ve seen in a while! Images via JD Sports.
